The Almighty will never fail you. He’ll restore whatever you lost. During your life, you will, perhaps, lose your job, things & people. Trust His Plan. It may not be apparent now, but will be clearly revealed in due course. Whoever & whatever’s meant to be there will stay.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Many of us are more blessed than we realize. A roof over our heads, good health, a job, family etc. There are people who would give everything to have some of these blessings. Yes. Read that again.
So be grateful because things could always be worse. Thank the Almighty.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Storms in life are inevitable. They’re a test from the Almighty. So stop trying to calm the storm. Calm yourselves. The storm will pass. The Almighty is in control.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Don’t be discouraged when you see others doing well. Don’t begrudge your friend for getting that job you’ve been eyeing for a while. What the Almighty is giving you requires patience, focus and commitment. Be happy. Your time will come.

In life, you have to keep moving; no stops, no rest. That’s for the next life. If you want the Almighty to give you what you want, then do as He has asked of you.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Take time for self-reflection and introspection. Do it for self-development. But the truth is we’re too busy & when we’re not, we’d rather be analysing people’s lives based on what we see on social media. Remember, we learn from experience by reflecting on them.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Is your heart heavy & burdened? Do you feel like there’s no way out? That’s when you need to trust the Almighty & depend on Him even more. Don’t entertain negative thoughts from Satan. Rise above it. It won’t be easy but you must. Bear utmost patience & He will find a way out.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

The next time you find yourself looking at others on social media and yearning for their lifestyle, stop & think. Is it fair to compare your life with theirs when you’re only seeing a portion of the life they want you to see. You don’t have the full story.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Many people will cross your path in life. Don't lose track of your path because you're too busy judging others. Focus on yourself instead.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Don’t belittle the one who remains silent. Not only can it be more powerful than words, it also takes a lot of maturity, effort and intelligence to keep quiet when you’re expected to respond in the same way you were spoken to. It’s a powerful tool to learn and master.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

When your heart is heavy and you feel you can't get out of bed to face another day, ask the Almighty to lift you. His Strength is all you need. Just ask Him.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

We all make mistakes. Don’t give up just because you made a mistake. The Almighty knew the mistake way before it ever happened. Instead of feeling miserable and depressed, pray. Ask Him to ease your affairs. Stop focusing on the past and keep moving forward.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

When you want to give advice, do so in such a way that people would want to listen to you. Don’t be mean and hurtful. Don’t use harsh words. Don’t put people down. Be genuine and nurturing in wanting to correct them, mend their ways and help them get back on track.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

On this blessed day, may we have the strength to give up something for the sake of the Almighty. In return, we can expect something good. Our faith in Him will be strengthened. May we achieve the benefits of these ten days & may He accept the sincere efforts of those making Hajj.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Never tire of doing good, even small acts. We often hear people say that no one notices any of the good they do. But the Almighty does. He’s All-Knowing. So press on & do as much as you can, knowing the ten best days are upon us. Good deeds are magnified & the rewards multiplied.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Trust people by all means but don’t go overboard. Remember, there’s no guarantee in life; even the closest people around you may go against you. But as long as you trust the Almighty, He will never let you down. Have patience and you’ll reap the reward.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Almighty. Take away worry, fear and doubt from us. Calm our troubled hearts. Free us from anxiety and stress. Help us trust in Your Mercy. Wholeheartedly. Aameen

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Stop wondering what people will think about you. Life is too short for that.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Don’t lose yourself in the crowd just because you’re trying to fit in. Learn to hold your ground. Remain steadfast in your belief. It’s not easy. People will mock you & taunt you. They’ll make you feel uncomfortable. Get hold of yourself. The Almighty will lift you.
