Someone graduated at 21, but waited 6 years to get a good job.
Someone had no education, but was a millionaire at 21.
Someone got married at 20, but divorced 5 years later.
Someone got married at 30, but found everlasting love.
You’re not late.
You’re not early.
You’re on time.
Some people around you may seem more successful and ahead of you in life. You might think you’re better than others who are behind you. Everyone is working at their own pace. Do not mock or be jealous of others. They are in their time and you are in yours.
16 year old Pakistani housemaid Uzma was tortured and murdered by her employees. She ate a bite of food from their daughters plate, in anger they hit her head with a steel dish several times and dumped her body in a drain. Her crime was minor but she paid the ultimate price.
Muslim girls cover up and wear hijab for their modesty, not so you thirsty little boys can fantasise what they will look without their clothing. Be respectful.
Asian/Arab people have a fixation with fair complexion. When it comes to marriage they ask “Are they fair?” as one of the factors if they are beautiful or not. People start to bleach their skin and hate themselves, this eurocentric ideology needs to stop. Dark skin is not ugly.
No ones saying marry a bum. Of course females should marry a successful, good-looking and respectful guy. But some men had hardships in their life or had to help out their family financially. Not every man’s life was easy. Not all men were fed with a silver spoon either.

You’re not a failure. Society makes you think you need to finish something by a certain age. People change professions/businesses all the time. You’re on the right track that’s all that matters.
Violence against domestic workers is usually ignored and is not a spoken about issue, they treat these children/teenagers as second class citizens and it’s disgusting. Uzma was getting paid £21 a month as a housemaid, her life had more value than this.

Whenever you feel like missing a prayer, remember there are those who are currently in their graves who would give anything to come back to this Dunya just to pray to Allah once more.
Tomorrow is not guaranteed.
To whoever is reading this:
I pray you receive good news on something you’ve been working hard on and patiently waiting for.
It will happen. Keep faith.
Whenever we want to explain patience (sabr), we say “Patience of Ayuub عليه السلام”. This prophet was tested in everyway you and I could possibly imagine.
Here’s his story of sufferings and hardships. 🙏🏼
I’m having a small wedding with very close family and friends. I’m not spending tens of thousands on people who don’t give a shit about me and will just be envious giving me evil eye. I’d rather use the money to give to charity and perform Hajj with my wife.
Have you ever felt so emotionally drained and exhausted that sleep just doesn’t cut it anymore. Like you’ll wake up still tired and it just doesn’t go away.
‘Girls wouldn’t get any attention from me’. Living disciplined. Not being lazy, drinking or smoking all the time, can fully relate to this work ethic.

Things that will help your personal growth:
1. Act like you’re more confident
2. Wake up early & be on time
3. Work smarter not harder
4. Learn from your failures
5. Don’t follow the crowd
6. Cut off toxic people
7. Be a better listener
8. Meditate and pray
9. Exercise regular
In case no one told you today:
• You’re loved
• You’re smart
• You’re strong
• You’re beautiful
• People need you
• I’m glad you’re alive
• Things will get better
• You’re here for a reason
• Your hard work will pay off
• Don’t give up
You may think Allah didn’t answer your prayer when you needed it. Remember He will answer when its best for you. Sometimes not getting what you wanted could have protected you as it was the wrong time, or there is something greater ahead. Have faith.
You have to be selfish this month.
This month is about you and Allah. All of us have had a terrible year, this is the time when you should remove bad habits. Forget about any temporary people in your life who distract you.
Don’t waste it.
To whoever is reading this:
I understand you feel as if there is no way out and you’re at a dead end. You see no hope and you don’t know what you want to do in the future. Your hard work and efforts will not go wasted, they will pay off one way or another. Doors will open.
My prayers are with the family of Mariam Moustafa, 18, an Egyptian student who passed away after being beaten up into a coma by 10 British ‘women’. None have been arrested after THREE weeks. I guarantee if she was British and not Muslim there would be much more media coverage.
You cannot change your past but you are in full control of your future. You can shape the next few years to be your best and no one can judge you for what you did before.

I pray things workout for you, keep on pushing forward. Do what you need to do in this current time in order to be where you need to be in the future.
I believe trust is more important than love in a relationship. You can love many things and people, but you don’t have to trust them all. However if you’re with someone then proving and showing your trust to them is the most invaluable thing.
The entertainment industry has an explicit preference for light skin actors/actresses. The media industry also brainwashes people in believing that happiness, success and romance are connected with having fairer skin.
Work Hard.
Believe me when I say hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. Your efforts and struggle will open doors you didn’t think were possible for you. It may take some weeks, months, even years. But it will pay off. You have to retain this mindset to excel in everything you do.
I pray that whatever struggles you are going through, it gets easier.
I pray that thing which you’re waiting for finally comes.
I pray that whatever toxic people are in your life, you build the courage to remove them.
I pray that you get through this hard time and get stronger.
If someone disrespects you once or twice it’s understandable because we’re human and we make mistakes, or they didn’t realise their actions. However if they do it several times it means that they don’t really value your word or respect you enough.
Steps To Improve Your Life:
1. Cut out toxic people
2. Eat healthier
3. Exercise often
4. Pray more
5. Be grateful
4. Plan your next steps
5. Be more giving
6. Learn from your mistakes
Eid Mubarak,
To those of you who struggled during Ramadan.
To those of you celebrating alone and have no one with you.
To those of you who lost loved ones so they couldn’t be here this month.
To the Muslims suffering in poverty and in war town countries.
May Allah bless you.

What does this mean?

Allah has tested everyone in their own way. He will give you wealth and see how charitable you will be.
He will also give you tragedies to see if you will still remember him.
85’000 children have died of malnutrition this year in Yemen, there needs to be more awareness on this devastating issue. May Allah protect the children who are currently suffering.
I met Ikram and her mother on my recent trip rebel-held
#Yemen
this month for
@NewsHour
. An estimated 85,000 children have already died of malnutrition and preventable diseases in Yemen as a direct result of this war, and the UN says that for some the famine has begun...
Ramadan Mubarak to those who are broken, to those who feel no happiness and are lost. To everyone fighting their demons. To everyone in a war torn country, or nowhere near home. I pray that you have a blessed day and a wonderful month.
Recently I’ve lost so much hope in everything and the future stresses me out. I sacrifice so much and I hold on praying things get more easy. I feel alone and have no one to turn to besides God, but I guess this is who I need to turn to right now the most.
I have Christian, Muslim and Sikh friends. One thing I realised is that no matter their faith, it teaches them to treat everyone kindly regardless of their race or religion. Never have we argued about our different beliefs. If you’re kind-hearted that’s all that matters to me.
