Note: Three Things We Must Do For A Truly Meaningful Life

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

📝 Three things to always do, as much as possible, to have a truly meaningful life: 
1✅ Live life solely and sincerely to please Only Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, striving to obey Allah's Orders as much as you can while trying your best to stay away from whatever He Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala and His noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam warned against.

🌼 Allah the Almighty said: 
"And I (Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) did not create the jinns and humans except to worship Me (Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala)." 
[Surah Adh-Dhaariyaat, chapter 51, Ayah verse 56] 

2✅ Treat Allah's servants (whether Muslim or non-Muslim) with mercy, justice and beautiful manners as much as possible. Do acts of kindness for Allah's sake and offer charitable service whenever you're able to do so. Strive to avoid injustice, crimes, deceit, falsehood and bad intentions.

🌼 Allah the Almighty said: 
"Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer (a true believing Muslim) - We (Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) will surely cause him to live a good life, and We (Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do." 
[Surah An-Nahl, chapter 16, Ayah verse 97] 

📖 Abu Dharr RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Fear Allah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) wherever you are, follow a bad deed with a good deed and it will erase it, and behave well with good character towards the people."

Grade: Sahih (Authentic) according to At-Tirmidhi

3✅ Patiently and eagerly seek authentic knowledge of Islam through reliable sources from the Noble Qur'an and Sunnah teachings of the beloved Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam (reflect on the meanings of the verses in the Noble Qur'an, read informative articles often and listen to uplifting Islamic lectures etc.), and for Allah's sake apply what you've learned and regularly share your learnings with others.

🌼 Allah the Almighty said: 
"Is one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night, prostrating and standing [in prayer], fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Rabb/Lord (Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) [like one who does not]? Say, 'Are those who know (those who have been endowed by Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala with authentic knowledge and true guidance) equal to those who do not know?' Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding."
[Surah Az-Zumar, chapter 39, Ayah verse 9] 

📖 Mu'awiyah RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: "If Allah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) intends goodness for someone, He (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) gives him understanding of the religion (Islam)."

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Whoever travels a path in search of (beneficial and authentic) knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise."
Source: Sahih Muslim 2699
Grade: Sahih (Authentic) according to Muslim 

So even if you may not have some genuinely trustworthy friends whose values mesh with yours at the moment, or even if you may be financially struggling at times, or if there's not a single relative whom you can easily confide in, or even if most of the individuals around your community assume you're weird or "insignificant" for not completing high school or college, or if you encounter a number of spiteful critics from time to time, what actually matters is that you:-
1 ☑️ Serve our Only Creator Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala and pray to Him with Ikhlaas sincerity on a regular basis as we Muslims should. 
2 ☑️ Behave well with proper conduct and integrity towards other human beings, while seeking rewards only from Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, not expecting people's commendation and validation.
3 ☑️ Never quit studying about Islam and other beneficial matters online and offline. 

Those three essentials can 
Inn-sha-Allah guarantee a meaningful life.
