Imagine if your kids had to carry a ladder to climb an apartheid wall to get to school everyday.

What you see in other people is a reflection of yourself. A person of goodness sees goodness in others and a person of evil sees evil in others.

Positive thinking isn't ignoring life's problems, it's understanding that Allah can make a way out for you if you sincerely try.

When Allah loves you, He places the love of you in the hearts of the people whose love is worth having.

When people wear you out, spend some time in isolation with Allah and your relationship with Him will improve as well as with the people.

Sometimes Allah gives you bitterness in this life so that you can further enjoy the sweetness of the hereafter.

Sometimes the person that excites you most isn't necessarily going to make the best husband or wife. It takes a lot to see past the glamor and glitter when you're looking to get married and look for someone who's going to be a loving companion that will stand by your side no matter what and better you while also seeking to be bettered by you.
