There’s a teaching moment in every trial that the Almighty sends your way. Each pain makes you stronger; every betrayal makes you wiser, every failure makes you more resilient. He will keep testing us till we learn the intended lesson. Keep learning! Life always has a lesson!
Mufti Ismail Menk
Rely on Him
People will let us down, but the Almighty never will. To lead a better life, rely on Him rather than them.
Dr. Bilal Philips
Focus & stay strong
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it’s going to launch you into something great.
Paulo Coelho
Seek His forgiveness
No matter what you’ve done in life, always believe that your transformation is possible. It’s only a call away. The Almighty is waiting for you to turn back to Him. His Mercy is overwhelming, you could never imagine. So all is not lost if you seek His forgiveness and start over.
Mufti Ismail Menk
When you mess up in life, when you feel yourself down in the dumps, when you think you’ve committed sins so huge that there is no way out, turn to the Almighty not turn away from Him. He is the most Merciful and He will guide you back on track if you call on Him sincerely!
Mufti Ismail Menk
Elevating yourself through difficulty
The difficulty that came to you through anything was the means by which you entered paradise. Every thing, person, or hardship that came into your life was a means for elevating yourself.
Omar Suleiman
Accept your losses
When you lose something, don’t think of it as a loss, accept it as a gift that got you on the path you were meant to travel on.
Dr. Bilal Philips
Restless hearts
Your heart will continue to be restless and keep hurting until you realize that the heart is created by the Almighty. If you want peace, turn to Him.
Mufti Ismail Menk
O son of Adam
I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) saying: “Allah, the Exalted, said: ‘O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I shall forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to meet Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I shall bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it.'”
Narrated by At-Tirmidhi and Ahmad Ad-Daarimi
Nothing is permanent
When you realize that nothing is permanent in this life, you will become more tolerant, less judgemental, and more forgiving.

When the time is right
The Almighty will give you what you want when the time’s right. If it’s good for you, He’ll make sure that you get it. If it’s bad for you, He will keep it away from you. Never for a moment think that He hasn’t heard you. He knows what’s in your heart even before you uttered it!
