At times when we are at our lowest, we need something to lift us our spirits up. I find that quotes, short stories and poems helps me lots through these process. To remind me that to count every small blessings :)In rainy days you might want a little sunshine to light your heart. In sunny days you might want a shade and cool breeze.. Just like little kind words and some motivation to get through rough days.. Something to keep you going.

Oh ALLAH...Please give me the strength to over come my insecurities, triumph over my fears, & learn to stay positive even when I am at my worst.
Ameen
Before you assume, learn the facts.
Before you judge, understand why.
Before you hurt someone, feel.
Before you speak, THINK.
Sitting with Wise man makes u Wiser,Sitting with Ignorant man makes u Ignorant,Sitting with less fortunate man removes the Ego from ur Heart

Everybody heals the broken pieces in different ways, some turn numb & block everyone out. When in despair turn to Dua, when in need of regular guidance turn to prayer, when in need of understanding turn to ALLAH. The harsh world makes some people bitter and some people softer, depends on how you decide to heal your pain.
Oh ALLAH; Enlighten what is dark in me, Strengthen what is weak in me, Mend what is broken in me, Bind what is bruised in me, Heal what is sick in me, Straighten what is crooked in me, and Revive whatever Peace and Love has died in me. Ameen.
ALLAH sees how you don't burden other souls with your sadness, the way you bring happiness towards others even when you are in pain. One day he will reward you for helping others in distress while you were yourself suffering far greater with everyone else unaware. Very few can be the light for others & very few are thankful slaves of the almighty both in hardship & ease.
ALLAH SWT is the best listener, you dont need to shout, nor cry out loud. Because he hears even the very silent prayer of a sincere heart.
If ones dream should fall and break to pieces, never be afraid 2 pick up those pieces and begin again. Let me share with you a beautiful Dua.
Ya ALLAH ! When I lose hope because my plans have ended in nothing, help me to remember that Your guidance is always greater than my disappointments and Your plans for my life are always better then my dreams (Ameen). May ALLAH (SWT) hear our duas And give us more than what we asked for. May He always keep u safe, and grant all the loved ones you lost Jannah. May He give us good health, long life and fill our lives with blessings from above. Inshaa ALLAH (Ameen)
Our hearts whisper.. but only ALLAH can hear ♥
Dua is more forceful than a sword. Dua replaces what has been destined and also creates that what has not been destined. When your feeling down about life put your trust in ALLAH swt. If you put your trust in Allah swt, you can never go wrong. ♥
It’s okay to cry, it’s okay to be sad but never blame yourself for how things turned out. Never tell yourself you can’t do better, and never tell yourself this is end of the road. Fate has a time and place for all of us and nothing you can do or say will change that except making DUA to Allah SWT. Sure, it’s okay to fall, but it’s never okay to stay down. Trust Allah.
Trusting ALLAH means: I'm empty but happy, I'm tired but inspired, down but still smiling, feeling lost but living for a cause!!Trust ALLAH He'll give what's best for you.

Shame on ME,
When I whine for a small tests given to me by ALLAH,
While I'm watching an old lady with a huge basket on her back,
walking under the hot sun trading the things she picked up from the streets,
and she smiled when she passed by me.
Shame on ME,
When I was too lazy to cram on night for studying,
While I'm watching the blind man,
with a lot of books on his right hand, walking with his stick on another hand,
he entered the library with no body helps him,
and he smiled even he don't know to whom.
Shame on ME,
When I was wearing an Arabic name and people easily knew that I was a Muslim,
while I'm not practicing Islam in my life,
and I'm watching the newly Muslim whose struggle to practice Islam,
she goes against her culture and her family for a piece of clothes on her head,
and I saw no fear on her eyes.
Shame on ME,
When I was born as Muslim and I'm not inviting others to Islam,
and I was failed to show the beauty of Islam,
while I'm living in the harmony community with a freedom of religion was proclaimed,
and I was pointed out to others for this responsibility of mine.
Shame on ME,
When I'm telling people the 'DO' and 'DON'T',
while I'm still doing the 'DON'T'
and when I'm watching people with a feeling that I was the only person who always right,
and I was forgot that ALLAH always watching me,
and He knows what's my heart whispering.
Shame on ME,
When I knew how worse the world is,
and when I blame on others for what's happened to the community,
while I'm still attached to the worldly things and was slipped over and over again,
even I knew that I was the witness of this period, the human corrupted era
but still I don't help on anything to make it better.
Shame on ME,
when I knew that ALLAH will definitely ask me what on earth am I doing in this world,
but still I was whine, lazy, fake and blaming others,
while am crying to HIM,
to not punish me on the Judgement day,
when there's no body else for me either to help or to blame on.
OH please!
Wake up!
Wake up Muslim!
You are not belong here! Work for your 'real' home! Don't be tricked by shaitan!
Looking for the perfect life-partner?
Read this story, it may change your thinking :-)
A young man once came to his Shaykh to ask his help in choosing a wife who would be his life-partner.
The Shaykh said, “What are the qualities you want in your wife?”
He replied,
“She has to be good looking, tall, with lustrous hair and a beautiful scent.
She should cook delicious food and talk sweetly. Someone when I look at her, she pleases me, and when I am away, she safeguards herself in my absence. She should not disobey me, and I shouldn’t have to fear her evil. She must also take pride in religion and enjoy wisdom.”
The man continued to mention all the good qualities in women that he would like to see in that one woman. When the Shaykh thought he had heard too much, he said to the man, “My son, I know a person who fits the description.”
He replied, “Where?”
The Shaykh said,
“In Paradise, with the permission of ALLAH.
As for this world, then you must learn to be tolerant!”

::: Always be kind to your Mother :::
One day a girl, Sara, who was fifteen years old, came home from school in a very bad mood. She'd had a fight with her best friend that day and it hadn't turned out well at all.
... "Sara!" her mom yelled. "What are you doing? You know to do your chores right when you get home! And you're late!"
"Coming, Mom!" Sara yelled, getting up and stomping towards the kitchen. "What?" she snapped as her mother gave her a stern look, annoyed.
"You'd better straighten up your attitude, young lady," her mom warned, "or you'll be grounded."
"Whatever." Sara began to throw around the dishes in the sink, trying to make as much noise as she possibly could. A plate cracked and cut her hand. Sara cursed.
"Sara!" her mom exclaimed. "How dare you use that language! Go to your room!"
"No!" Sara yelled, throwing down the towel she was using to wipe the blood off her hand.
"Do you want to say 'no' one more time and see what happens?" her mom asked. She looked furious.
"Sure," Sara said sarcastically. "No."
"How dare you!" Her mother slapped her.
Sara shrank back, staring incredulously at her mom. She had never hit Sara before.
"I HATE YOU!" Sara screamed before running out of the house.
"Sara, get back here!" her mom yelled, running after her.
"Leave me alone!" Sara screamed, running across the street. "I HATE YOU!" she screamed again.
She continued running until she heard the sound of screeching tires and a scream. She turned around, hoping that it wouldn't be what she thought it would be....
People were crowding around Sara's mother, who was laying in the middle of the street, looking broken, bloody.
"NOOOO!" Sara screamed, running over and pushing through everyone to kneel by her mom. "Oh no, oh no...."
Her mom wasn't moving or breathing. She was gone. Sara tipped back her head and wailed to the sky, sobbing so hard it hurt.
She couldn't believe the last words she had spoken to her mother were "I hate you".
To everyone out there who tells your parents or friends you hate them, or any other rude thing, remember it might be the last thing you ever say to them.

DRINK, STEAL, SWEAR and LIE..
I met a person who has a motto he lives by everyday. He said: 'listen carefully and live by these 4 rules: Drink, Steal, Swear, and Lie.'
I was shaking my head 'no', but he then told me to listen while he explained his four rules. So here they are:
1.. 'Drink' from the 'everlasting cup' every day.
2.. 'Steal' a moment to help someone that is in worse shape than you are. 3.. 'Swear' that you will be a better person today than yesterday.
4.. And lastly, when you 'lie' down at night thank ALLAH for evrything you have.

The Teacup (A short MORAL story )
There was a couple who used to go to shop in the beautiful stores. They both liked antiques and pottery and especially teacups. One day in this beautiful shop they saw a beautiful teacup. They said, "May we see that? We've never seen one quite so beautiful." As the lady handed it to them, suddenly the teacup spoke.
"You don't understand," it said. "I haven't always been a teacup. There was a time when I was red and I was clay." My master took me and rolled me and patted me over and over and I yelled out, "let me alone", but he only smiled, "Not yet."
"Then I was placed on a spinning wheel," the teacup said, "and suddenly I was spun around and around and around. Stop it! I'm getting dizzy!" I screamed. But the master only nodded and said, 'Not yet."
Then he put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I wondered why he wanted to burn me, and I yelled and knocked at the door. I could see him through the opening and I could read his lips as He shook his head, "Not yet."
Finally the door opened, he put me on the shelf, and I began to cool. "There, that's better," I said. And he brushed and painted me all over. The fumes were horrible. I thought I would gag. "Stop it, stop it!" I cried. He only nodded, "Not yet."
Then suddenly he put me back into the oven, not like the first one. This was twice as hot and I knew I would suffocate. I begged. I pleaded. I screamed. I cried. All the time I could see him through the opening nodding his head saying, "Not yet."
Then I knew there wasn't any hope. I would never make it. I was ready to give up. But the door opened and he took me out and placed me on the shelf. One hour later he handed me a mirror and said, "Look at yourself." And I did. I said, "That's not me; that couldn't be me. It's beautiful. I'm beautiful."
"I want you to remember," then, he said, "I know it hurts to be rolled and patted, but if I had left you alone, you'd have dried up. I know it made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel, but if I had stopped, you would have crumbled.
I knew it hurt and was hot and disagreeable in the oven, but if I hadn't put you there, you would have cracked. I know the fumes were bad when I brushed and painted you all over, but if I hadn't done that, you never would have hardened; you would not have had any color in your life.
And if I hadn't put you back in that second oven, you wouldn't survive for very long because the hardness would not have held. Now you are a finished product. You are what I had in mind when I first began with you."
********ALLAH swt knows what He's doing (for all of us).He is the Potter, and we are His clay.
He will mould us and make us, So that we may be made into a flawless piece of work To fulfill His good, pleasing, and perfect will.
SuraH "At-tin" ["The Fig,"] verse 4,) ALLAH said: "We moulded man into a most noble image."
and ALLAH asks "O man! What evil has enticed you from your gracious Lord, Who created and proportioned you, and moulded your body to His will?" (surat "Al Infitar," )
Over the years, I’ve come to believe that each of us is addicted to something (or a number of things) in one way or another. This addiction can be positive or negative; it can be dangerous or completely safe, but it’s an addiction nevertheless.
I define addiction as a compulsive feeling that drives you towards a thing or activity, and which if you stopped yourself in one way or another you start feeling some type of withdrawal symptoms.
When we think of addictions, we normally think of drug addicts, alcohol . Yet there are other forms of addiction which are seemingly ‘harmless’ e.g. addiction to facebook/twitter/ Blackberry, addicton to work, addiction to sleep..etc.
Can You Flip Addiction on its Head?
My question today is: since addiction is such a powerful force that sometimes is hard to resist, can we harness this propensity to be addicted & get ourselves addicted to positive things?
Can we get addicted to Salah for example? Or to the Quran? Or to giving Charity? or performing Hajj/Umrah? Or even get addicted to doing something positive in the community or to what we passionately believe in?
Why Are You Addicted?
In order to understand how we can get addicted to such positive activities, we need to understand why we get addicted in the first place:
There are two triggers for addiction:
1) It drives us towards pleasure.
AND/OR
2) It drives away pain and makes us forget our life problems. A lot of the powerful addiction substances have both triggers in them, e.g. alcohol and drugs give pleasure to their users AND numbs their reality helping them forget their problems.
Get Addicted to Positive Habits!
So with that in mind, we can now better answer the question posed above; how can we get addicted to powerful positive habits?
1. We need to derive a great sense of pleasure from them; let’s take reading Quran for example.
If you want to get ‘addicted’ to reading Quran and by addicted, I mean it becomes the habit you love to do all the time and in fact you might even get withdrawal symptoms if you don’t read it for a few days, then you need to understand the Quran, appreciate the Quran, love the Quran and really enjoy reciting it in order to derive immense pleasure from such habit.
Uthman Bin Affan (May ALLAH be pleased with him) once said: ”If our hearts were pure, we would never be tired from reading the Quran.”
2. The positive habit needs to be able to drive away pain; let’s take another example, Salah.
If whenever you’re faced with affliction or trial or even a little bit of stress, you turn to Salah, won’t you be addicted to Salah and love Salah?
Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) used to say ”O Bilal, give us comfort with it (i.e. Salah)”.
Not only will your problems wither away with the power of a sincere salah, but you’ll gain reward from Allah and feel much better afterwards.
3. Addicton doesn’t come overnight, it builds over time
This is an important point, if you notice any ‘addiction’ you have, e.g. constantly checking Facebook or e-mails, this didn’t suddenly happen – you gradually developed an addiction to it and then can’t stop yourself (from checking facebook/e-mails, etc.).
So keep in mind that any positive addiction you want to develop needs time, you simply need to constantly build that habit into your life and soon enough it’ll become a positive addiction that you’ll enjoy, insha’Allah.
I want you today to take a good look at your life and ask yourself what are you really addicted to?
What are the things that you can’t stop doing, or feel depressed/down/frustrated if you stop yourself from doing? If these are good/positive addictions, that’s great, keep them and harness them. If these are bad/negative addictions, try to replace them with new positive ones and work your way to gradually unwind/withdraw from the negative addiction until it disappears from your life, insha’

A short moral story
Who Is Your Best Friend?
I am reminded of an inspirational story of a young man who had three friends. A judge ordered this young man to appear in court with a witness to testify on his behalf that he had good character. This seemed like a daunting task for the young man when all human decency seemed to have broken down. However he met his first friend whom he asked to testify that he had good character. The first friend said "You are good," but grumbled that he could not go to the court with him.
The second friend was uncertain about helping the young man. He said "I will vouch for your good character, and I will go to the court with you; but I will stop at the doors of the court for I cannot enter."
The third friend said "Don't worry I will go with you. I will enter the court and will testify that you have good moral character, I will stay with you until the problem is solved. I will be with you."
Who do you think is the best friend?
This is what will happen when all of us die. The first friend is like our wealth. Our wealth basically stays behind when we die.
The second friend is much our family and loved ones. Our family and loved ones no matter how much they care about us, when the time comes they will arrange for our funeral but our loved ones will not enter our graves with or for us.
The third friend is your deeds. Everything else will remain behind, your wealth and your family and loved ones but your deeds will go with you. Our deeds are both good and bad. Our deeds are all that will remain with us, so we must be sure that they, inshallah are good deeds.
What really strikes me is that each one of us has an opportunity to increase our good deeds every day. The essential flow that we all have is old habits that die hard. But hopefully, we can take small steps , to rid ourselves of these bad habits so Inshallah we all can enter Paradise.

Think about how you treat your mother versus how you treat your friends. If you were to treat your friends the way you treat your mother, then you wouldn't have any friends. So let's make an effort to be an awesome son/daughter no matter how far we live from our parents, in'sha'ALLAH!
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr: ALLAH''s Apostle (S.A.W) said, "It is one of the greatest sins that a man should curse his parents." It was asked (by the people), "O Allah's Apostle (S.A.W)! How does a man curse his parents?" The Prophet (S.A.W) said, "The man abuses the father of another man and the latter abuses the father of the former and abuses his mother."

:::Your skills of dealing with others determine how they deal with you.:::
‘Abdullah was an energetic person but lacking in certain skills. One day, he left his home to pray Dhuhr in the mosque. It was his zeal for the prayer and respect for his religion which brought him out to pray. He was walking fast in order to reach the mosque before the Iqamah was given. On his way, he passed by a date-palm tree on top of which there was a man in uniform, working on the tree. ‘Abdullah became surprised and thought, “Who is this man that does not care about the prayer! It is as if he didn’t even hear the Adhan, or doesn’t care about the Iqamah, which is about to go!”
He shouted in anger, “Get down and pray!”
The man responded coldly, “OK, OK...”
He said, again, “Hurry up and pray, you donkey!”
The man screamed, “You called me a donkey?!” He then took a branch of the tree and descended in order to hit him over the head with it! ‘Abdullah hid his face with his headscarf so the man wouldn’t recognise him and went on to the mosque. The man descended from the tree in anger, went to his house, prayed and rested for a while. He then returned to the tree to finish his job. Then ‘Asr time came and ‘Abdullah went to the mosque again. On his way he passed by the same tree and noticed the same man working. He decided to change his method altogether and said,
‘As-salamu ‘alaykum! How are you?”
The man replied, “Al-hamdulillah, I am fine!”
He said, “Give me some good news. How are the dates this year?”
The man said, “Al-Hamdulillah.”
‘Abdullah said, “May ALLAH give you success and provision, make your life easy for you, and not deprive you of the reward for your work!”
The man was overjoyed at hearing this supplication and said ameen to the prayer.
‘Abdullah then said, “It seems that you are so preoccupied with work that perhaps you didn’t notice the Adhan for ‘Asr prayer. The Adhan has been called and the Iqamah is about to be given. Perhaps you should get down, relax a little and get ready for prayer. After the prayer you can get on with your work again. May ALLAH keep you healthy.”
The man said, “Insha ALLAH... Insha ALLAH...” and began to descend gently. He then turned to ‘Abdullah, shook his hand warmly and said, “I would like to thank you for your excellent manners. As for the one who passed by me at Dhuhr time, I wish I could see him and show him who the real donkey is!”
The result...

☀ Today you are walking and you choose where to go but one day it will be said '"Lets take him to the cemetery".
☀ Today you dressed yourself but tomorrow you will be dressed in a single white sheet.
☀ Today you proudly say my car, house or spouse but in an instant all these will cease to be yours on that one day that is coming.
☀ Today you are walking on the earth but one day the earth will cover you.
So many so called great men before you are today underneath the earth so take heed before that day comes.
☀ My brother in Islam don't let the day 6 strong men carry you to the Masjid be the first time you attend the Masjid
and my Sister In Islam don't let the day that you die be the first time that you are properly dressed.
☀ THE DAY IS COMING, it already did for some yesterday, for some the day will be today but all of us will have our day sooner or later so take heed before that day!!!!
Tears are FoLLowed By a smiLE,
Fear is replaced by comForT,
And anxieTy is overThrown by peacE .Don'T be sad >>>
–
Verily, with hardship, there is relief (Qur’an-94:6)
I do believe there is a spark of good in everybody, no matter how deeply it may be buried, it is there!!
You need to do Just a Lil Effort to Find it within urSelf ~
Every Breath is a Blessing
Be like the sun
Shining with light
Be like a rose
Spreading its fragrance
In every path
Be like the earth
Humble and wise
Be like the rain
Pouring all your love
To every soul ~~ ♥♥
Think about this! On the Day of Judgement, when Allah will ask us: "Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose) and that you would not be brought back to Us?" [23:115] ARE WE PREPARED FOR THAT?

NicE words by a husband who Truely Loves a Wife;

::::::::::true inspiring story::::::::::
True strory told by Shaykh "Abdul Mohsen al Ahmad", it happened in Abha (the capital of Asir province in Saudi Arabia)
"After performing Salat Al Maghrib, she put her make-up, wore her beautiful white dress preparing herself for her wedding party, Then she heard the Adhan of ‘Ishaa and she realized that she broke her Wudu
she told her mother : “mother, I have to go to make wudu and pray ‘Ishaa”
He...r mother was shocked : “Are you crazy?!! Guests are waiting for you, to see u! what about your make –up? It will be all washed away by water!!” then she added
” I am your mother and I order you not to perform salah now! wallahi if you make wudu now, I will be angry at you”
Her daughter replied :”wallahi I won’t go out from here till I perform my salah! Mother you must know that "There is no obedience to any creature in disobedience to the Creator."!!
Her mother said:”what would our guests say about you when you'll show up in ur wedding party without make-up?! You won’t be beautiful in their eyes! and They will make fun of you!”
The daughter asked with a smile :” Are you worried because I won’t be beautiful in the eyes of creations? What about my Creator?! I am worried because, if I miss my salah, I won’t be beautiful in His eyes”
She started to make wudu, and all her make-up was washed away, but she didn’t care
Then she began her salah and at the moment she bowed down to make sujud, she didn’t realize that it will be her last one!
Yes! She died while in sujud! What a great ending for a Muslimah who insisted on obeying her Lord! Many people who heard her story were so touched!!
She put Him and His obedience first in her priorities, so He granted her the best ending that any Muslim would have!
She wanted to be closer to Him, so He took her soul in the place where Muslim are the closest to Him! SubhanaAllah!
She didn’t care if she would be beautiful in the eyes of creatures so she was beautiful in the eyes of Her Creator!
O Muslim sister, imagine if you are in her place! What will you do? What will you choose : pleasing creations or your Creator?
O dear sister! Do you guarantee that you will live for the next minutes? Hours? Months?!!
No one knows when their hour will come? Or when will they meet angels of death? So are you ready for that moment?
O non hijabi sister! What do you choose : Pleasing yourself by non wearing Hijab or your Lord?
Are you ready to meet Him without Hijab?
And what about you, sister who are “in relationship” or “open relationship”, are you ready to meet your Lord today? Tomorrow?! What do you choose pleasures of this Dunya or pleasures of akhirah?!
May ALLAH guide us all to what pleases Him and grant everyone who is reading these lines good ending, Ameen .

"Tough Times Never Last For Long, but Tough People Do."
- Sheikh Yasir Qadhi
Keep making Dua.
Even If They Don't Seem To Be Answered.
Even If Things Don't Make Sense.
Even If Up Is Down And Down Is Up.
Because Everytime You Make Dua You Testify...
You Testify That Allah Can Hear You.
You Testify That Allah has the power to answer your prayers.
That Allah is the only one to whom you Ask.
If 'you ever give up'...
It's Not That You Are Giving Up In Yourself.
Rather You Are Giving Up In Allah...''
So,
In sha Allah, We Will Never Give Up In What We Ask For.

Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots.

Respect The Emotions In someone's Heart,
Rather Than The Expression on Some one's face
Because Expression is just a Formality
buT
Emotions are realiTy.
The fastest way to get hurt is to expect apprecitaion and rewards for every single thing you do for others.
Do it for ALLAH'S SAKE!!
Assalamoalikum dear brothers and sisters, Please do ponder over these lines :
So live each day as If it's your last!!!
Just close your eyes and imagine,
You have just one more day to live
One more day to show ALLAH,
What "Jannah" he should give?
To say goodbye to your family,
And all your closest friends;
To ask for forgiveness,
And try to make amends;
Just close your eyes and imagine,
Did you miss a prayer or two?
Did you please ALLAH, and do the things,
He asks every Muslim to do?
Just close your eyes and imagine,
Tomorrow you will be gone;
No more second chances,
To smell the mist of dawn;
Just close your eyes and imagine,
The angels are going to come,
To take your soul and ask,
In your life "what have you done"?
Just close your eyes and imagine,
The words you want to say;
Will not come out you may realize,
For all your deeds you'll pay;
You want to speak out, to cry out,
In ALLAH I believe;
But, silence beckons you,
No more can u deceive;
Just close your eyes and imagine,
Finally,>Your silence breaks away;
You tell the angels you believe in ALLAH,
And for him, you did pray;
You say as tears are pouring down your face
Please, ALLAH, forgive me,
For the sins that I committed,
Have mercy is my plea!
Just close your eyes and imagine,
That the smell of musk surrounds you,
From your head down to your feet;
You realize ALLAH forgave you,
Hell fire you did defeat;
But we all know as Muslims,
When it's time for you to die;
You'll not be given a second chance,
To say a last goodbye;
So live each day as If it's your last,
And never forget to pray;
So when the angels come to ask,
You'll know the words to say. ◄
