Run your own race. Stop comparing yourself to others. If the Almighty wants you to have what others have, He will give it to you, if not now then at some stage later on. Be happy with His Decree. Learn to accept His plan for your life. Show gratitude. If you’re grateful, He will surely grant you more.
A man said: one day I slapped my wife. That was the first time.
She was upset, yet we reconciled.
But she stopped talking about her worries or happiness with me.
No longer vulnerable, safe or open with me.
I realised I destroyed her safety.
I lost it all.
You can be the most successful person around but if you have no humility, you won’t go far. There are many out there who strut around behaving like they own the world. It's a shame that those with less to boast about do it the most. Such is the sad state of society today.
I have analyzed every aspect of Islam before embracing it, and I am completely convinced that Islam is perfect, while we, as humans, are not. Some individuals lean toward extremism, while others adopt a more liberal stance (both of which are incorrect). However, if Islam is practiced correctly, as Allah SWT intended, it is the only way of life that can safeguard human society from degeneration and destruction. Every teaching has profound meaning deeply rooted in our natural way of being, and it elucidates every single behavior and its remedy.
Heard it somewhere that,
"Nothing in this world is worth losing your deen and akhirah"
And i stopped there and all the thoughts instantly adhered themselves, there, that's it.
Being quiet and gentle doesn’t mean you’re weak. Such people show strength that’s under control. It’s knowing when to speak and when to listen; when to take action and when to wait. Don’t underestimate such people. They walk with the greatest strength.
