"There is no proper way of combating insecurity and uplifting self-confidence than preparation."

"One of the most difficult things to do is to institute changes into something that everyone is so used to; to literally rock the boat because what you re witnessing is far different from how things should be. You will encounter resistance, rejection and even expulsion, if you are that lucky, in your pursuit to correct things and steer everything back on the right course. But fear not, because if our intentions are pure and our motives are not for self aggrandizement trust in God to guide, inspire and enlighten us in our effort to do good to others."

One Big Man

"There is a point in life when we just have to accept that not everything we wished for will come true. A time when we have to be brave to let go and entrust everything to God, because He won't allow us to be in situations of pain for the sake of hurting but for the sake of learning. One day, we will understand that He knows us more than we know ourselves. That even when we feel alone, misunderstood, unloved and used, there is that "one big man" who knows all the flaws yet loves us unconditionally, like no other man can."

Cause of Colon Cancer

"It's nice having cold drink after meals but cold solidifies oily stuff we just ate. It slows down digestion. Once this sludge reacts with the stomach acids, it breaks down and gets absorbed by the intestines faster than solid food and coats the intestines. Very soon, this becomes fat and leads to colon cancer. It's best to take hot soup or tepid water after meals."

"You will always be part of some people's life. You may never find out where you fit, but others will fill up the empty spaces in their lives with pieces of you. So when you wonder why God put you on this earth, remember that others' life may never be complete without you."

Dua for Tahajud

"Allahuma innaka afuwun kareemun tuhib bul af wa fa afo anni. O Allah, You are the one who grants pardon for sin, loves forgiving, so forgive me."

"There comes a time in your life when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of life. Getting back up is living."

From the Power of Praying Book

"Dear Lord, I don't want to limit what You want to do in my life because of doubt, so I pray that You'd make my faith big enough to facilitate all You want to do in me and through me. Give me faith to believe in the complete wholeness You want to work in my life.

Deadly Things

"For every gulp, every bottle, every shot, drinking burns your liver. But for a few moments of relief, it frees you from the weight of the world. For every puff, every cigarette stick, smoking slowly kills you with chemicals found in rust, poison, and the dead. But temporarily, it gives you the calmness that you need to pacify your nerves. Like love, it breaks your heart, makes you cry, and it emphasizes the weaknesses you fight to hide. But you take it and give in simply because deadly things even for a while deceitfully feel so right."

The Prophet (s) said, "What do I have to do with this world and what does this world have to do with me? The story of me and this world is similar to that of a man who is riding on a hot day and reaches a tree. He takes a nap under the shade of the tree for a short while, and then goes on leaving the tree behind."
