Sabr

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Almighty. Heal and comfort us. Only You know our pain and understand our discomfort. Only You know our grief and sorrow. Only You know our loneliness and suffering. Restore us in every way and keep hope alive in our hearts. Aameen.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Don't be overly sensitive and take things too personally. At times, people behave the way they do because of the burdens they’re carrying. Be kind. Try and put yourself in their shoes and empathize. If you can’t, be nice and don’t hurt them. You’ll have a more peaceful life.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

People have become more self-centered. They don’t try to understand the feelings, needs & problems of others. They’re keen on satisfying their own needs, even by hurting others. Don’t let up. Continue spreading values of honesty, sincerity, integrity & compassion.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Don’t wait to forgive someone till they apologise. You may end up waiting forever. Remember, it’s easy to hold a grudge and it’s easy to lay blame. But by doing so, you’re allowing others to have power over you. For the sake of closure and healing, you should forgive and move on.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Wishing you a Blessed Eid Al Adha. After intense days of worship, I wish you a joyous time with your family and loved ones. Amid the strife and suffering going on around us, spare a thought for the less fortunate as you celebrate. Say a prayer for them.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Don’t dwell on how privileged you are. It’s how you end the journey that matters. Strive to live a life that endears you to your Creator. Everything else is secondary. Keep asking for a good end. May Allah Almighty take us when He’s most pleased with us.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Don’t always expect things to go your way. They won’t. If the Almighty delays what you’ve asked for or decides not to give it, it’s one of the biggest tests of your faith and patience. Don’t lose the plot. Stay firm.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

You may find it hard to be grateful and to thank the Almighty when you’re going through a struggle. But give thanks as He strengthens you even more. That’s your real test.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

We’re not perfect. We sin, we falter and make mistakes but we do our best trying to please You. Almighty. We ask You to accept the deeds we do solely for Your sake. Forgive our shortcomings. We will never lose hope in Your Mercy. Aameen.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

You don’t have to go it alone. The Almighty is always there in both good and bad times. You’ll never have to face anything on your own as long as you call out to Him. He’s there waiting for you to turn back to Him. Don’t delay.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

No one knows your struggles better than the Almighty. The silent battles you fought, the tears you shed at night, the burden on your shoulders; He’s aware of them all. Pull yourself together and keep going because it will get better.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Almighty. We’re grateful for Your countless blessings. We know Your Plan is always the best, even though the process may be painful and difficult at times. Your Will is beyond our will and we trust You upon all conditions. Aameen.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Hold on to your inner peace no matter how bad things are. That's your greatest strength. Without it, you have nothing. Remember, everything will pass.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Stay connected to the Almighty. Cut off all wrong connections. Those who try to lead you astray. Those who waste your time. Let them all go. Life’s too short to be engaging in futile activities.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Being positive is a mindset. It means you choose to respond in a manner that’s optimistic & constructive. You remember that the outcome could have been worse. It doesn’t mean you’re in denial; nor is life a bed of roses. Far from it. It means you’re grateful.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Allah Almighty doesn't expect perfection. He expects and rewards effort. He knows your struggles. As long as you’re trying, that’s good enough. Strive to do better each time. He will reward you and elevate your status.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

When good comes our way, there are those who feel distressed. But if harm strikes us, they will be among the first to cheer. You have to be patient with them. Their plot will not harm you. The Almighty is the Best Planner.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Almighty. Grant us peace of mind and keep our hopes alive. Many feel broken and in need of comfort. It may be hard for some to focus on blessings when times are tough. When storms are brewing and days look dark, guide us to the path of light. Aameen.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Advise people by all means but do so in such a way that people will want to listen to you. Don’t be mean and hurtful. Don’t use harsh words and turn them off. Be genuine in wanting to correct their ways and help them get back on track. Your sincerity will long be remembered.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

It’s a fact that we won’t like everyone who comes into our lives. That’s okay because we’re humans. Let people leave gracefully. Don’t be petty and say nasty things about them. Be mature. Take it in good spirit. We all have our likes and dislikes.
