1. Love:
Donโt lean in to feelings of attraction that you have towards people you canโt/shouldnโt be with. Certain types of love are like a madness that comes over you.
It canโt end well.

2. Take care of your body:
Sleep, nourish, exercise, relax, take care of the body Allah gave you. Itโll take you far if you allow it to!

3. Family relations:
You are more influential if you set a good example and be a listener and gentle guide. Stop trying to fix them or to impose your opinion on relatives if they donโt see things the way you do. Itโs your job to convey not to convince. Throw great parties!

4. Stop waiting for permission:
You can build your capability in anything if you put your mind to it. No one cares about your vision as much as you do, so seek out mentors and get on with it regardless of the naysayers. The only judgement you need consider is Allahโs.

5. Think Tortoise Not Hare:
As a young mum, you will have to create your own timelineโฆthatโs ok. You might take twice as long to finish your studies, thatโs ok, donโt live by other peopleโs timelines! Slow and steadyโฆconsistentโฆand youโll get their via the scenic route!

6. Motherhood:
Invest in their early years, cherish each moment as it passes so quickly. Youโll never regret devoting time to motherhood, to breastfeeding, to nurturing future worshippers of Allah.
Family is your most important project.

7. Donโt apologise for being ambitious:
If you have high aspirations, work diligently and donโt lower them because others are not as motivated as you are. Donโt be affected by limiting beliefs of others either. With Allahโs help you can achieve anything you put your mind to.

8. Trust your judgement and knowledge, but stay humble:
Allah made you intelligent, he gave you a voice and mind and you are as capable of using them as anyone else. Express the truth to the best of your ability, be aware you have a lot to learn & be open to changing your mind.

9. Never be afraid to face the tough stuff head on:
Donโt ignore warning signs and face up to problems while they are smaller and more manageable or they will blow up. Have family meetings sooner rather than later, address the elephant in the room!

10. Siblings:
As you get older, be their friend, respect that theyโve had a different life to you. Be the giver, not the taker. Be sensitive to your negative behaviour habits in relation to them. Welcome their spouses & love their kids. You could learn a thing or two from them

Humble yourself with them, listen, be attentive, make them laugh and cultivate lots of enjoyable experiences with them. Give them of your time, be patient.
You need their duโas and donโt you forget it!

12. Food:
Itโs trueโฆa moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips. Find things to enjoy that donโt involve food & walk away when your initial hunger has been satisfied. Fast. Eat to live. Nutrition is more important for a healthy weight than exercise. Donโt fool yourself!

15. Mentors:
Anything you want to achieve, find someone whoโs done it and ask them to mentor you! Plenty of people out there would love to mentor you!
If you donโt ask, you donโt get!

16. Failure:
Stop wasting time feeling sorry for yourself. Itโs not a failure, itโs a learning experience. Analyse, learn, think iteratively and get back up and on it. Fail faster. Youโll start winning quicker as a result.

17. Marriage:
Cherish the pleasures of your intimate married life and donโt take them for granted. Make time for romance no matter what. Keep looking into each otherโs eyes and not at your phones, lower your gaze from others

18. Allah:
Donโt stop your regular worships & practices, go hide in the mosque & talk to Allah properly.
When youโre avoiding Him, itโs because youโre doing something dodgy and you know you canโt fool Him.
Turn back. Thereโs no running away from Him, except TO HIM.
