Love the people you think you'd want to be with in the hereafter.

Kind words cost you nothing but are sometimes worth more than a million dollars.

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

When you treat people well, those same people might not treat you the same way. But if you pay attention, you'll notice that Allah has sent OTHER people who treat you even better.

Never forget the favors done for you. Always forget the favors you’ve done for others.

Don't make your wedding a pleasant memory in this life but a source of misery in the next. Make it an eternally good memory. In trying to have a halal wedding, you might sacrifice many relationships but the opposite might mean sacrificing the only relationship that will matter in the hereafter for a bunch of people who don't even really care about you. Don't make one night the cause of your regret for an eternity.

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.
