Change your 'Nafs', change the world.

There is nothing wrong with having a good job, there is nothing wrong with having a nice house, there is nothing wrong with that. There is something wrong when that is your goal.

You can’t change someone’s behaviour, all you can do is remind them, and hope that Allah will change their heart.

It is not true that if we had true faith we would not be sad. Prophets (as), and righteous people experienced a great deal of sadness. The Quran is full of stories in which the central theme is sadness. Sadness is a reality of life. The Quran is not there to eliminate sadness, but to navigate it. Sadness is one of the tests of life, just as happiness, and anger are tests.

If your parents are alive, be grateful at the opportunity to earn Jannah by serving them

Do not force the religion on your family. Show them the beauty of the Religion through your own practice.

Spirituality is impacted not only by remembrance but by diet, stress, sleeping and eating habits among other things. Take care of yourself.
