‘সুন্নাত হ’ল নূহ (আঃ)-এর কিশতির মতো, যে ব্যক্তি এতে আরোহণ করবে সে নাজাত পাবে। আর যে ব্যক্তি তাতে আরোহণ করা থেকে পিছিয়ে পড়বে, সে ডুবে যাবে’।
– ইমাম মালেক (রহিমাহুল্লাহ)
[ইবনু তাইমিয়াহ, আল-উবূদিয়াহ, পৃ. ৭১; যাম্মুল কালাম ৫/৮১]
Beware the ones who are distressed when good things come your way. But if harm strikes you, they will be among the first to rejoice. You have to be patient with them. Their plot will not harm you. The Almighty is the Best Planner.
Relationships are suffering because we just can’t put our phones down. Parents & children spend hours on mobile devices hence cutting down the time for face to face interaction. Make an effort to reduce the use of your devices & start building healthy family bonds.
Whatever your situation may be, the Almighty has all the answers; even if they aren’t the answers you want at that time. You have to trust Him when you face a closed door. After all, has He not brought you this far? Do you think He will abandon you tomorrow?
Has it occurred to you that each time you pray, it could be your last? So take your time and develop a no-rush policy when praying to your Creator. May the Almighty be pleased with us and have Mercy on us all, the day He decides to take us.
Struggling in life is part of your journey. Nothing comes easy. Getting close to the Almighty is a lifelong process. You cannot expect everything to magically fall into place. You need to depend on Him and trust that what He has planned for you is the best.
We all get knocked down, some harder than others. That's a fact of life. Deal with it. Get up again. It'll help you grow. You're stronger than you think. You can do it. Quitting is never an option.
Do yourself a favour. Protect your mind from overthinking. It’s a disability which serves no purpose. You need to protect your own thoughts. There’s nothing in this world that can trouble you more than your own thoughts.
Many factors can affect the peace in your heart. It’s not easy but you must find a way to do it. Plug in with the Almighty. Let Him take over when you feel you’ve done your best. You’ll see every sunrise holds more promise; every sunset holds more peace.
Good days and bad days. You will learn more from the bad days than the good ones because they’re designed to toughen you. But first, you must learn the life lessons attached to them. Some don’t and they get stuck at a certain level. Pray for guidance.
Do you feel the need to answer to your critics? You don’t have to. You don’t have to try and prove to people who you are. Your journey is yours alone. Remain steadfast. Honour the Almighty. He will work things out for you in the end. Just remain calm and bear patience.
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!
