Quote of the day

You’re being tested again & again & you’re at breaking point. Hold on. Remember, a test can sometimes replace a worse misfortune; it could be a form of protection from something or being deprived of something. Take your tests in your stride, knowing He wants only good for you!

Quote of the day

Forgive and move on. It’s powerful. It’s an act of kindness. It’s the beginning of healing. Yet many refuse to do so, preferring to cling on to grudges, resentment & payback time. It’s not worth it. Life’s too short for all that drama. Just forgive & keep that peace in you.

.
Cleanse your heart.

Let go of grudges.

What’s the point of holding them?

Forgive and move on.

When you forgive, the Almighty will increase your honour.

You’ll feel the burden on your shoulders lighten! 《FORGIVE AND FORGET

.

.
‏”Forgive whoever wrongs you”
‏~ Prophet ﷺ.
‏وَلْيَعْفُوا وَلْيَصْفَحُوا أَلَا تُحِبُّونَ أَن يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
‏Let them pardon and forgive. Do you not love to be forgiven by Allah? And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
‏(Qur’an 24:22)

The Scholar and the Ferryman


A scholar of language and grammar undertook a journey. A river had to be crossed. As was the custom in those days, the scholar hired the boat of a waiting ferryman who took people across the river.

During the journey, the scholar asked the ferryman, with obvious pride and mockery, if he knew anything about grammar and the rules of language.

The ferryman simply replied, “I don’t.”

“Alas!” retorted the rude scholar of grammar, “You have wasted half of your life.”

At this, the sailor was terribly hurt and aggrieved. But he kept quiet. Suddenly the boat was extremely nervous in the high waves and gushing water. “Do you know how to swim, learned Sir?” asked the sailor.

“No!” said the scholar.

The ferryman remarked, “Alas! You have wasted your whole life for the boat is sure to capsize in a few minutes.”

Moral: Knowledge in one branch is not enough to be proud about.

Quote of the day

If you don’t do it their way, it doesn’t mean you’re wrong, inferior or off the track. Let them say what they want. They’ll never stop hurling abuse at you. Don’t be distracted by their noise. Your worth is decided by the Almighty. Be dedicated to Him alone, not them. He knows.

Story: Balloon Seller and the Kid

There was a man who made a living selling balloons at a fair. He had
all colors of
balloons, including red, yellow, blue, and green. Whenever business
was slow, he would
release a helium-filled balloon into the air and when the children saw
it go up, they all
wanted to buy one. They would come up to him, buy a balloon, and his
sales would go up
again. He continued this process all day.
One day, he felt someone
tugging at his jacket.
He turned around and saw a little boy who asked, “If you release a
black balloon, would
that also fly?”
Moved by the boy’s concern, the man replied with
empathy, “Son, it is not
the color of the balloon, it is what is inside that makes it go up.”

The same thing applies to our lives. It is what is inside that counts.
The thing inside of us
that makes us go up is our attitude.

Have you ever wondered why some individuals, organizations, or
countries are more
successful than others?
It is not a secret. These people simply think and act more
effectively. They have learned
how to do so by investing in the most valuable asset–people. I
believe that the success
of an individual, organization or country, depends on the quality of
their people
