There’s a silver lining to every hardship. Nothing that the Almighty sends your way is bad. At times, being let down by someone can be the direct cause for you to dig deep in yourself, finding your own strength. You learn to depend only on the One who made you. No one else matters.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

This world is temporary. You’re on a journey. You’ve not reached your final destination yet. An eternal abode awaits. The Hereafter. So quit stressing over everything that happens. Nothing lasts. Let the Almighty take over after you’ve done your best.

[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]

You have the chance to start anew every day when the Almighty returns your soul to you after sleep. It’s up to you to decide today how you want to live your life; in His pleasure or displeasure. You have a duty to fulfil. Make it a good one.

[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]

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]

No squabble or argument is worth it; don't sacrifice your Hereafter for these pettiness. Avoid it and if you can’t, excuse yourself and walk away. Make peace with those you've offended or insulted.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

When you're sad and things are looking bleak, look for a reason to smile. Believe me, you have much to be thankful for. Show gratitude. Thank the Almighty always.

[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]

Wherever life takes you, just be kind. Never mind if it’s not reciprocated. Do it for the sake of the Almighty and watch how your life takes on a different turn.

[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.
