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.

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.

Wake up knowing that Allah is greater than any obstacle you may face today.

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.

One thing I've always struggled with in life is loving people too much. It's painful when that love is not reciprocated. But one thing I always comfort myself with is the fact that Allah will always show greater love to those who love Him. Allah doesn't disappoint you so keep your heart attached to Him.

Talk to Allah in your own language with your heart fully present. Allah doesn't need you to rhyme or speak arabic.
