💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
🗒️ Seven things to quit for Allah's sake to achieve actual happiness and inner peace:
1] Quit listening to songs and music. Instead, read and reflect more often on the Aayaat (verses) of the Noble Qur'an.
2] Quit nosily spying on the lives of strangers who absolutely have nothing to do with you, and you don't gain anything valuable from watching their frequent vlogs. Instead, focus on valuing the unique blessings which Allah the Almighty chose to give you, and always aim to improve as a Muslim.
3] Quit stalking the social media accounts of people who make you feel bad and who are unable to inspire you to become a better human. Forty-five minutes of reading from the Noble Qur'an or listening to an Islamic lecture is more rewarding than thirty minutes of browsing through negative, demotivating and nonsensical status updates.
4] Quit expecting every single person on earth to have the exact same manners and temperament as you. Just because somebody treated you badly does not signify you're a bad individual. How others treat you usually reflects their character, upbringing and current moods.
5] Quit being nice to people mainly because you want them to thank you or so they can return your favors in the future. Do good deeds sincerely to please Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala and you can't be disappointed.
6] Quit making it a rule that every time you dine in a restaurant or halal cafe you must take pictures and upload them on social media to prove how wealthy you are. If someone's motive for uploading photos of food and beverages is not to supportively promote a Muslim's halal business, then the need to regularly flaunt what they ate and drank may indicate that the foodie or coffeeholic is awfully insecure.
7] Quit assuming that if a person doesn't go out much to chill with loved ones or if the quality of their social skills is low from your viewpoint then automatically you can label them as "depressed" or "lonely". A lot of introverts are genuinely contented with not having a large circle because few or no close friends means preserving oneself from: taking part in artificial conversations, flattering narcissists whose acts are not praiseworthy, avoiding responsibilities towards individuals who envy you secretly, gossiping childishly, and wasting priceless minutes when a Muslim's time should be spent on more worthwhile duties.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills." Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."
