Life is amazing outside of Twitter and social media which represents 0.06% of real problems.

Dont get worked up over it.

Give it 0.06% of your attention 😄

How you disagree with others teaches you a lot about yourself.

#PracticalSpirituality

Find someone whose happiness is tied to happiness in the pleasure of the Almighty.

Chasing a fake happiness that leaves you empty, ruins relationship after relationship, & dissatisfied with yourself is your biggest sign that you need to stop indulging & start finding purpose.

If a condition of friendship was always agreeing on everything... even Umar ibn AlKhattab & Our Beloved Prophet ﷺ would have never been friends.

#PracticalSpirituality

It is better to maintain love, honor, dignity, & respect than "to be right."

Arguing & losing a heart isn't as important as working to maintain a bond or build one.

#PracticalSpirituality

Focus internally, invest in relationships w your family & friends, & things you have direct impact on.

Youll be less worked up, get frustrated, waste time & emotion on things you dont have direct impact on.

#PracticalSpirituality

Have a mentor.
Seek advice.

#PracticalSpirituality

Always timely & needed advice:
Ibn Masud said:
"Whoever wants to follow someone, then follow one who has died, because the living are not free from trials (fitnah)..."

A beautiful explanation of this by our beloved teacher sh @YaserBirjas

Spending more time on anything other than rectifying your own soul & better your character & deeds is increasingly going to be corrosive & toxic.

"Don't depend too much on anyone in this world because even your own shadow leaves you when you are in darkness."

[Ibn Taymiyyah]

Just vibin w my man @AbdelRahmanM and one thing we talk about is...

As we get older - it wont be about inspiration anymore as much as you will see value of being more wise & learning wisdom.

My father in law says,
true investment is in
Knowledge
Wisdom
Time
Family
Character

Istikharah (God consultation)

If you cant amplify the positive then at least dont add more to the negative.

We fill our lives everyday by uncontrolled desire of negative commentary in public domain.

ure not changing a mind if u cant touch a heart

u wont bring positivity w negativity

#PracticalSpirituality

How do I know my prayers will be answered?

Besides experience... hearing the stories of those who had their prayers answered usually gives us inspiration.

Trust is the foundation of Faith.

#PracticalSpirituality

Keep positively contagious people in your life as much as those who advise you to become better.

One helps you to not become full of constant toxic negativity & the other helps you grow even if it is bitter.

The best is if both character is in one.

#PracticalSpirituality

Never ending social media debates

#PracticalSpirituality

Sometimes in correcting & adjusting the path of our journey we have to make tough decisions that our friends and family wont understand.

It's ok
The only who tracks the progress of your soul is yourself... people just see its effects later.

Keep grindin

Lord make us of them

"The most beloved servants of God are the ones that make god beloved to his servants and make them beloved to God and walk between people with sincerity, guiding & adivising them."

Whoever says
أستغفر الله وأتوب إليه
Astaghfirullah wa atubu ilaih
(I seek forgiveness from Allah & repent to him)

100x in a day
will have their sins forgiven

even if they were so many like they were the foam of the ocean.
