If you're not doing it for Allah, then don't expect any help from Allah.

Acting humble for people's praise is one of the most dangerous forms of riyaa (showing off).

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.

When you give, expect nothing from people and everything from Allah.

Sometimes being let down my a human being is the direct cause for you finding your own strength & depending only on Allah.

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.

Allah is Most Merciful even when He sends us trials, for even His punishment is for our own good.
