Arrogance and pride can be found in the hearts of many but these are traits which the Almighty has warned us to stay away from. Don’t be deceived into believing that arrogance is wisdom. Far from it! Remember, it is not all about you. Always consider those around you as well!
Always stay humble. No matter how successful you are, don’t let your ego take over the controls driving you towards social status instead of progress. Always keep learning & improving; aware that there’s so much more to know. After all, everybody knows something that you don’t!
Don't do anything to compromise the sanctity of these last nights in #Ramadan. Don't argue, swear, backbite or gossip. Focus solely on the Almighty. Do more good deeds, give generously and make an intent that every little bit you do is for Him and Him alone!
