Low self esteem is rooted in many things. One of them is not spending time to appreciate the gifts we've been given.

Change your 'Nafs', change the world.

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 you have friends or family who are not practicing, give them your company and not your judgment. They need your patience and your love. Allah is sufficient for judgment and He subhanahu wa ta'ala is a perfect Judge. We are not.

Parents test our patience more than anyone else...Being around them keeps you in check...that's what keeps you humbled.

The hypocrite takes good advice as an insult.

When you’re not patient, you start complaining. And the fact that you’re complaining is a sign that you’re not grateful.
