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.

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.

When good comes our way, there are those who feel distressed. But if harm strikes us, they will be among the first to cheer. You have to be patient with them. Their plot will not harm you. The Almighty is the Best Planner.

Almighty. Grant us peace of mind and keep our hopes alive. Many feel broken and in need of comfort. It may be hard for some to focus on blessings when times are tough. When storms are brewing and days look dark, guide us to the path of light. Aameen.

Stop comparing yourself to others. If the Almighty wants you to have what others have, He will give it to you, if not now, perhaps at some stage later on. Be happy with His Decree. Learn to accept His plan. If you’re grateful, He will surely grant you more.
