Controlling other people is a sign of power, but conquering oneself is the sign of true power within the mind, body and the soul.....

Sabr (patience) and shukr (gratitude) go together. When you’re not patient, you start complaining. And the fact that you’re complaining is the sign that you’re not grateful.

The mysterious visitor

The following story shows the condition of most of our worship. The incident took place in South Asia. A man was offering salah in his house. He was praying as fast as he could as many of us do. All of a sudden, he heard the door behind him open. Since, someone entered the room, he started making his ruku and sujud longer. Upon completion of the salah, he looked back to see who it was. To his amazement, it was a dog!

Today, we are ready to perfect our salah for a dog. But for the Creator, we rarely lengthen our qiyam, ruku and prostration.

Success in life can never be an accident, it's the result of right decisions at right times. Champions aren't people who never fail but people who never quit.

It is better to lose the world and win your soul than to lose your soul and win the world.
