💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Things that bring forth inner peace and contentment:
1• Maintaining a strong connection with Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala and striving to obey Allah's Commands, regardless of how His servants see or treat you.
2• Being grateful to Allah the Most Wise for the gifts and blessings that He destined for you. Patiently accepting Allah's Qadr/Decree while not comparing your unique life story to others' journeys.
3• When unpleasant circumstances happen or when you get disappointed for whatever reason, understand that Allah the Most Merciful only grants you what He knows is best for you. Trust Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, refusing to give up striving to pass Allah's tests, with patience and gratitude.
4• Carefully select which users and pages to follow on social media. Do not feel guilty about unfriending or unfollowing those whose status updates make you doubt your self-worth. The kind of posts you can expose yourself to should be ones that increase your level of faith/Imaan and enhance your self-esteem. Anyone who cowardly posts passive-aggressive content and gossipy updates deserves a virtual goodbye without warning.
5• Choose your daily battles wisely. Not every invitation to a fight and argument nor unnecessary messages that cause stress levels to escalate must be responded.
6• Aim to please only Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala and be contented with Allah's Love. Be courageous enough to embrace solitude and rejection from Allah's slaves once in a while. Know that as long as Allah the Most Loving loves you and you're guided by Him, you can survive confidently and independently without requiring people's validation.
7• Calm your heart and soul by frequently saying Dhikr, particularly the morning and evening Adhkaar, increasing your Du'as, and make it a habit to read at least two pages from the Noble Qur'an each day and/or night. The more good deeds you do for Allah's sake e.g. praying Salat Ad-Duha and Qiyaam Al-Layl, the stronger your faith/Imaan is and the happier you are on the inside.
8• Don't be afraid of being imperfect nor cancel taking risks to avoid mistakes. Whenever you make a mistake or get overcome by your nafs, rush to do Tawbah and seek Allah's Forgiveness. Learn from your errors. Don't allow imperfections to prevent you from progressing and improving as a striving Muslim.
9• Among the happiest of people are those who try to be helpful and kindhearted. While trying your best to serve Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, do whatever you can for Allah's sake to avoid harming His creation. Being deliberately selfish, pridefully silent and taking advantage of people usually lead to guilt which contributes to struggling with feelings of emptiness.
