Restrain your anger because if you let it get out of hand, the consequences will be dire. Cursing, swearing, spewing hate & hurting someone are possible outcomes. Anger can lead to many evils. So exercise self-control & you won’t have to live with regret.
When you feel guilt in your heart after you’ve sinned, be grateful. It’s the Almighty’s way of telling you to repent and do good. He’s offering you a way out after you’ve gone against what He has prescribed. That’s His Mercy.
Prayer is not about you getting something from the Almighty as & when you want it. It’s more than that. The act of connecting with Him, building your relationship with Him, how you ask Him - all these play a part. Keep the communication going daily, not just when you’re in need.
When you give others a sincere compliment, words of encouragement or just a warm smile, you’re making their world a little better. You’re making them feel appreciated & valuable. You’ll feel more fulfilled because you have done something to make someone else’s life better.
If the extra worship in this blessed month is having an impact on your life, it’s time to ponder & recalibrate your life. It’s time to get closer to the Almighty. Make a commitment to continue what you’ve been doing after this month is over. Put in extra effort & time for Him.

You’re not seeing results even though you may be doing all the right things. You keep asking the Almighty and you think it’s all come to a standstill. Don’t give up. Don’t cave in to such thoughts. Keep enduring, keep persevering. It’s always darkest before dawn.
Don’t feel overwhelmed or sad when you hear what others have been doing this #Ramadan. You may think you’ve underachieved but if you’re trying your best, that’s all the Almighty’s interested in. He knows your struggle. Keep going & don’t let up as we approach the final stretch.
If you’ve managed to clean up your act so far in this blessed month, that’s really commendable. Make a commitment to never let anger, envy, hatred, malice, slander, gossip, backbiting, obscene talk, swear words and the likes from your mouth, come back into your life again.
Take stock of how you’re progressing this #Ramadan. It’s never too late. The most crucial thing is to finish strong. Keep going. The Almighty knows & sees all your efforts, no matter how small. He will reward you.
Don’t focus on the disappointments of your past. Learn from them and move on. We all make mistakes. Don’t beat yourself up so hard that you keep revisiting what’s done. The Almighty has forgiven you. Lift your spirits and look ahead to the new things that He has in store.
Never underestimate the power of prayer. Sadly, asking the Almighty for help is often the last resort. He fully expects us to make an effort to solve our problems but He doesn’t want us to do it alone. He’s always there for us but waits for us to reach out. Call out to Him.
Don’t be afraid to reboot your life many times over & start afresh. But if the program doesn’t involve the Almighty, you’ll be back to square one in no time, with no progress being made. Never leave Him out of your equation if you want success, both in this world & the next.
We worry because we wonder if we will have what we need, when we need it. But remember that if we expect other people to meet our needs instead of the Almighty, we will end up frustrated and disappointed. He is the only One who can meet all our needs.
At times, we condemn good people because we disagree with them over a few issues. We refuse to see the good they’re doing. Disagreements do not automatically make a person extreme, bad or evil. Learn to distinguish between the one who respectfully disagrees & the one who is evil!
