poems

You may not notice the presence of the sincere but you will definitely feel the affects of their absence.

During and after a disaster, you either see the best humanity can offer or the worst, sometimes both

Don't underestimate other people's pain. Underestimating their pain will only make what their feeling worst. Show some compassion and sympathy.

What people say about you behind your back is more a reflection of who they are, don't take it too personally.

quotes

Do not poke fun at a person for a sin he has committed. Instead, ask for his guidance and ask that you will not fall into that sin. Your mockery of him is arrogance on your part, which on most occasions is worst than the sin.

We learn more about ourselves and others in times of hardship than we do in times of ease.

What's important to me might not be as important to you. Respect each others priorities in that which is permissible.

Gossipers will find every reason to doubt the good said about you but will believe the bad without a second thought.

Choose your words carefully when speaking to your wife, things you say will stay in a woman's mind longer than you can imagine

Even the sun on a clear day can not be seen if you close your eyes.
The truth can be as clear as the sun, but if you refuse to accept it, you won't see it.

When you're walking in a downpour, no one will know that you're crying...except Allah. 
Turn to Him, He alone knows what you are really going through.

We often advise others to be patient yet find it difficult to be so ourselves.

quotes

When you treat people like dirt, don't be surprised when you're treated like dirt sometime in the future.

A person, if he were sensible and heedful, His heedfulness would distract him from the faults of others.
Just like a sick and ill person is distracted by his own pain all the pain of other people. 
- al-Imaam as-Shafiee.

If you love her, keep her and treat her with respect. If you don't want her, don't block the door.

Just because you can't do it, does not mean it's impossible for others as well. Encourage, don't discourage.

Only a hypocrite can please all of the people all of the time.

Loyalty is defined by how true a person remains when he's behind your back. Backbiters have no loyalty.

quotes

One of the main reasons we can't fix ourselves is because we're too busy pointing out what's broken in others.

By helping other people become happy, we too become happy. How can those suffering in the depths of hell, who have lost the will to live, get back on their feet? Merely thinking about our own problems often causes us to fall even deeper into despair. But, by offering a hand to someone who is also suffering, we ourselves regain the will to live. Taking action out of concern for others enables us to heal our own lives.

“Do not be too hard, lest you be broken; do not be too soft, lest you be squeezed.”
~ Ali ibn Abi Talib (Radhi Allah Hu Anhu) The 4th Caliph of Islam ~

Whatever others have done against you, let it go. Consign it to Allah, then forgive. Whatever you have done against others, apologize and ask forgiveness, and ask Allah’s forgiveness as well.

When people try to instigate us through their actions or words, by reacting typically we allow them to control us & to succeed in their dirty plans. 

Some people study typical reactions of others, then do whatever it takes to get them into the corner they want to & cunningly but convincingly blame them.

To avoid being controlled by others, react sensibly rather than typically, no matter what is said or done. 

Think very hard before saying or doing anything & remember, you do not have to react or respond to everything the way people want you to.

quotes

Sometimes it is better to be kind than to be right. We do not always need an intelligent mind that speaks, just a patient heart that listens.


I have felt pain, I have endured hardship,
I have suffered loss of loved ones and I
have memories I want to forget, However
these things have made me stronger and today,
I face the world with a smile because I know
things will always get better and those who love 
me will always be there for me.

"I was thinking today, that somewhere out in the world, unbeknownst to you, there could be someone supplicating to Allah for you. You could be going through one of the hardest struggles of your life, feeling totally alone, but someone else could be sincerely asking Him to grant you sabr and guidance. It could be a person that you spoke to in the masjid, or someone you gave charity to, or it could very well be a perfect stranger you will never come to know. 
Isn’t that a beautiful thought?"


When you see a poor person smiling, you should be ashamed of being a pessimist.


Respect the elders, learn from the people who have walked the path before you
