Normalize being a boring Muslim. Go to bed after Isha. Wake before Fajr. Sit with Qur'an to understand. Take dhikr walks. Your life doesn't have to be loud to have barakah. Sometimes the magic is in being unreachable. In becoming the Muslim nobody can disturb.
One of the Best advice I’ve ever heard is:
“Be so confident in Allah’s plan that you don’t even get upset anymore when things don’t go your way. Allah’s plan > your plan”
If you missed it at 21-29, you can still fix it by 35-39.
Your twenties are often noisy. Many people spend that phase experimenting, chasing different paths, or simply trying to survive. Missing structure during that time does not end your story.
By 35-39, something important usually happens. You would have learned within the space. Learned from mistakes. Learned from losses. Learned from watching others succeed and fail. Experience starts to replace guesswork.
At this stage, urgency becomes useful. You understand time better. You are less interested in impressions and more focused on outcomes. Discipline begins to matter more than motivation.
You can still build skills that pay well. You can still fix your finances with structure instead of hope. You can still reset your direction, using everything you have learned along the way.
What you cannot afford at 35-39 is denial. Excuses cost more. Indecision becomes obvious. Delay becomes dangerous.
This phase is not about chasing perfection. It is about applying what you have already learned, consistently.
You didn’t miss life then you gained lessons early.
If you take them seriously now, the next decade can be your most stable yet.
but Alhamdulillah ramai ustaz tegur status-status macam tu.
thank you Allah atas kehadiran ilmuwan yang banyak tegur kekhilafan kita. saya pun tak terlepas darinya.
semoga kita semua tak berhenti berusaha untuk improve ilmu agama meski kita bukan ustaz/ustazah.
Barangkali rezekimu mengalir bukan karena sibuk kerja siang dan malam, tapi karena kamu selalu lapang menerima apapun yg terjadi dalam hidupmu.
Tanpa balas dendam, tanpa drama dan memilih diam sambil mendoakan hal-hal baik.
I own a small bakery. Business has been slow. Rent is up. I was thinking about closing.
Last Friday, a teenager came in. He looked nervous. He counted out change for a cookie. He was short 50 cents.
"It's okay," I said. "Take it."
He ate it at a table, looking at his math homework. He looked stuck.
I used to be a math tutor.
I walked over. "Quadratic equations?"
He nodded. "I don't get it."
I sat down and helped him for 20 minutes. He got it. He left smiling.
The next day, he came back with two friends. They bought cookies.
The day after that, five kids came.
Apparently, he told the school, "The lady at the bakery helps with homework."
Now, my bakery is the after-school hang-out spot. It's loud. It's messy. There are backpacks everywhere.
Yesterday, I found a note in the tip jar. It was wrapped around a $20 bill.
"Thanks for helping my son pass math. A Mom."
I'm not closing the bakery.
I think I finally found my purpose.
It's not cookies. It's community.
Diam, kerja, perbaiki solat, paling penting hargai diri sendiri. Jangan berharap untuk dihargai oleh seseorang kerana itu akan membuat hati lebih kecewa.
Tiada siapapun yang boleh hargai kita selain diri sendiri; jadi sayangilah diri sendiri terlebih dahulu.
Nobody prepares you for the fact that you will go through some of the most heart shattering experiences of your life and are still expected to show up for work. Take care of yourself. Pay your bills. Meet your goals. Just carry on… it’s awful
is it wrong for me to pray for people who let me suffer with no intentions but limited by certain things but still, no efforts taken to help me get up, and can i pray for them to taste the near death experience i faced when they let me drown by myself?
