Note: Those With True Confidence Are Not Arrogant And Insecure

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

🗒️ One factor that can distinguish between arrogant individuals and healthily confident people is the ability to be of service to others. Arrogant people think too highly of themselves that they assume offering assistance or support to any community is beneath them. From their unreasonable expectations are to be treated like royal family with imaginary crowns of self-entitlement and to be greeted almost always by anyone who comes across them, instead of taking the initiative to greet others first once in a while. Oftentimes their arrogance is what prevents them from making effort to understand or sympathize with people.

• Some examples of statements which arrogant individuals may likely say:

"I'm the one with the most cash in this group. So I get to decide where we go, whether you like it or not."

"That Muslim is so lost, she'll "never" be guided."

"Look at what they're wearing. Is that all they can afford? So sad."

"It's your fault the marriage didn't last long. You're such a coward for not insisting on staying."

"No way am I forgiving them for what they said. From now on we're not even related."

Arrogance also keeps one from recognizing the truth, even after all the facts and evidences have been presented. So it's not surprising to note that arrogant people find it too difficult to admit their mistakes, apologize, and rectify solvable problems. If you're having a debate with some arrogant theorists on how a watermelon is a fruit, they'll probably insist that watermelons are mystically underwater creatures with wings simply to disagree with you, emphasizing their gigantic ego which acts as an obstacle to acknowledging the obvious truth.

📖 Abdullah ibn Mas'ud RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated that Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "No one who has the weight of a seed of arrogance in his heart will enter Paradise." Someone said, "But a man loves to have beautiful clothes and shoes." The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, Allah is Beautiful and He loves beauty. Arrogance means rejecting the truth and looking down on the people."

Tips: Seven Ways To Be Respectful Towards Your Husband

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

🗒️ Seven ways to be respectful towards your husband: 

1] Don't wait for him to do a favor in order for you to treat him with respect. Avoid telling yourself "I won't respect him until he proves to be compassionate and romantic first." Respect the man whom Allah the Almighty selected as your other half and soulmate because it's a privilege to do so as his faithful, grateful, patient, contented and loyal wife. 

2] Avoid hurting his feelings and embarrassing him as much as possible, particularly in front of his family whom you should treat with courtesy similarly. If he commits a mistake which needs rectification, advise him gently when there's no prying audience. 

3] When he arrives from work or some social gathering, refrain from instantly interrogating him and questioning him as if he's still a young child who needs to be supervised 24/7. Continue trusting Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala Who sees all the actions of His servants and Who knows how to justly deal with His creation.

4] Avoid being obnoxiously nosy. Know the difference between asking your husband certain questions because you genuinely care about his well-being, and searching through his phones due to suspicion or bad suggestions from our enemy shaytan about him. 

5] Master the art of being an empathic listener. Occasionally give your husband loving eye contact whenever he speaks, listen to him attentively, and resist the urge to interrupt him when he's talking. 

6] Be quick to defend his name online and offline whenever some people criticize him. Enthusiastically mention his admirable qualities and innumerable favors which he has done if he's being gossiped about for whatever reason. Be like his staunch attorney and trustworthy friend whom he can always confide in.

7] Avoid mishandling his belongings and misusing the money that he provides you. Don't spend his wealth in ways which would upset him, and as long as he doesn't command you to disobey Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, don't oppose his instructions nor argue with him in front of your child/children. 

If you're unable to satisfy your husband in one aspect, allow him to have his other needs met by not preventing him from remarrying. 

Inn-sha-Allah you'll receive more of Allah's Love and blessings for striving to be respectful towards your Muslim husband.

Tips: Advice To Those Who Oftentimes Feel Lonely

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

🗒️ Question: What advice can you give young Muslims regarding coping with loneliness while their parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles have passed away and they struggle to connect with individuals who are around their age?

📝 Answer: 1] Firmly believe that we are never truly alone, since our Creator Allah the Almighty hears and sees us at all times. Two of Allah's Angels are also nearby, observant and ready to record our actions, one on the right and another on the left side. 

2] Finding it challenging to make friends with the people whom Allah the Most Wise destined that we would meet may be from Allah's trials. While some are tested with affluence, others are tested with poverty or financial struggles, and while the faith/Imaan of some Muslims is being examined through fame and popularity, others are being tested by the inability to fit in with the people they surround. Aim to pass this test by striving to stay patient for Allah's sake, feeling contented with Allah's Love and Guidance. 

3] Consider solitude as an actual blessing in disguise, specifically if it means being protected from 1) socializing with the wrong kind of friends whose interests mostly prevent you from being close to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, 2) befriending untrustworthy individuals who secretly envy you and desire to see you fail in both worlds, or 3) affiliating yourself with misguided groups which in the long run would impact you negatively. 

4] Understand that you're not the only human being on earth who oftentimes feels lonely. Loneliness usually occurs when you remain idle for long periods away from your duties towards our Creator Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala and instead of trying to attain peace by serving Allah the Most Loving you expect to find optimum joy in Allah's flawed servants who are full of worries and problems to solve. 

5] Keep yourself busy sincerely doing righteous deeds which can elevate your status, with Allah's Will, in Jannah Paradise. The more you read from the Noble Qur'an and the more authentic Islamic knowledge you acquire for Allah's sake, the stronger your faith/Imaan gets and the less prone you are to being affected by unpleasant emotions. 

6] Acknowledge the fact that anything in this world which makes you cry and smile is temporary. So don't be surprised if some individuals whom you thought would support you would depart eventually. Know that everlasting happiness, pure bliss not contaminated with what's haraam/forbidden, can be enjoyed in Jannah Paradise. 

7] It is possible for a Muslim who is "friendless" to be loved by Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala and meant for Jannatul Ferdaus. It is also possible that a number of celebrities are destined to join the inhabitants of hell/jahannam, if Allah the Most Just doesn't forgive them, despite their large following and supportive fans. Your true value as a living being isn't determined by how many people regard you as their friend. Your heart and sincere efforts to please Allah the Most Kind are what can measure your worth, and your good deeds are the ones to accompany you even after each person who claims to love you leaves the cemetery. 

Allah the Almighty knows best.

Tips: Negative Qualities Which Many Untrustworthy People Have In Common

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

🗒️ Seven negative qualities which many untrustworthy people have in common: 

1] They deliberately neglect the obligatory prayers or they don't pray at all. If someone has the audacity to disobey Allah's Commands by choice, what makes you so sure that they'll always keep their word? 

2] When they borrow some money or items from you, it takes a lot of time for them to return what they agreed to give back or the item they borrowed is returned but not in its proper condition. Trustworthy Muslims try their best to clear all their debts as soon as they can, knowing that death can occur at any moment. 

3] They have an awful tendency to gossip about others without guilt. You can't trust anybody who allows their tongue and emotions to take control of them. 

4] They've told an obvious lie or disappointed you more than three times, and they didn't bother compensating or doing anything to make up for their misconduct. 

5] When they notice you in a good mood or you're doing a certain task well, they act aloof and quiet. As soon as they catch you making a mistake, they eagerly point out your flaws and go out of their way to criticize you in public. Somebody who is eager to embarrass you online and offline is a jealous person who can never be trusted. 

6] They enjoy getting into pointless debates and interfering in matters that have nothing to do with them. The more talkative and reckless a person is regarding issues which don't concern them, the more the opportunities for committing mistakes. You can't rely on an individual who doesn't make effort to be cautious and disciplined. 

7] They're bad at communicating. You've observed that they usually leave most of your messages on "seen" mode as if they're guilty of hiding some information from you or they don't know the right way to respond. Anyone who acts as if they're concealing something essential from you can't truly be trusted.
