Don’t Do It
“It’s easy to focus on the negatives in your life and start complaining about what’s not good enough or what’s lacking. Don’t do it. Because it will steal your peace and you’ll never be satisfied with what you have, always wanting more. Don’t let your hearts be troubled.” ~Ismail ibn Musa Menk
Faith
“Praying to the Lord in situations of calamity (for Him to modify them) only demonstrates how little faith we have in the arrangements He is making in our lives. The Lord arranges everything in the life of his devotee by His own desire, without being influenced by any other factor. Why should a devotee then …

“Not letting our mood affect the way we treat people is a forgotten sunnah.” ~Nouman Ali Khan
I rush
I am near to the thought of My servant as he thinks about Me, and I am with him as he remembers Me. And if he remembers Me in his heart, I also remember him in My Heart, and if he remembers Me in assembly I remember him in assembly, better than his (remembrance), and …

Leave the Rest
“Don’t be the one who shames and scolds others for their wrongdoing. Always advise with compassion and sincerity. Leave the rest to the Almighty.” ~Mufti Ismael Menk
Good
“Be good to all, even if they’re not good to you. My father Rahmatullahi Alayhi used to say, ‘Son, do good to all, whether you perceive them as good or not good to you. If they’re good to you, then you’ve done good to those who are worthy of receiving good. And if they’re not …
What Is
This is a special Islamic prayer called a du’a. I believe it’s universal enough to be prayed by every faith: O Allah Enlighten what is dark in me Strengthen what is weak in me Mend what is broken in me Bind what is bruised in me Heal what is sick in me Straighten what is …
Within You
“Your sickness is from you, but you do not perceive it, and your remedy is within you, but you do not sense it. You presume you are a small entity, but within you is enfolded the entire Universe. You are indeed the evident book, by whose alphabets the hidden becomes manifest. Therefore you have no …
An aside:
A lot of the people who insist Free Speech is sacred when it comes to mocking Islam will freak out on you if you disrespect their flag.
