Life doesn’t last forever. Think about it, reflect, and repeat: "Life is short." Make this your motto because life will end. We are here to be tested; everything will pass, nothing stays forever. As months and years go by, your life is getting shorter. With each day and hour, you are getting closer to the end, except for the good deeds you do. Everything disappears, but good deeds remain.

In Islam, we don't believe in "Karma". Instead, we have the concept of " Kifarah", which means whatever you give - whether good or bad - will come back to you in same form. Surely Allah is fair and just.

Shaytan’s Three Angles of Attack
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyah, Al-Fawa`id 1:277
Every intelligent person knows that Shaytan has no way to [attack] him except from three angles:
Extravagance: [A person] takes more than he needs, so it becomes superfluous; and [surplus] is the share of Shaytan and his point of entry to the heart. The way to avoid this is to avoid giving the self all it wants of food, sleep, pleasure and comfort. When you close this door, you will be safe from the enemy entering through it.
Heedlessness: One who remembers [Allah] is in an impenetrable fortress. If he becomes forgetful and heedless, he opens the gates of the fortress, and the enemy enters, after which it is difficult to expel him.
Affectation: of what does not concern oneself, or what one is not qualified to involve oneself in.

BE AWARE⚠
❝Don’t talk too much about yourself to all your friends. Don’t tell your secret to anyone, even your friend. Don’t tell your mistake or sin to others. Don’t trust others too much because that too much, can hurt you so much.
Because there will be a time when that person will use your secret against you or reveal your secret to the others.
When you fight or argue with each other, he will reveal all your secrets to the others to make you look bad in the eyes of people.
Not everyone around you is a true friend, some of them are two-faced (hypocrite). It’s better to keep your secrets to yourself and Allahﷻ Indeed Allah is a secret keeper.❞

Feeling stuck in life can be overwhelming... like you’re going through the motions but not really getting anywhere that actually matters.
I know how it is because I was once there.
But the no.1 reason why most people feel stuck is that they don’t have a clear vision and clarity in their life.
Clarity comes from knowing where you’re headed, and that starts with having a personal vision.
A vision is more than a goal—it’s your compass for life.
When you know what you’re striving for, you stop wasting time on things that don’t matter and start focusing your energy where it counts.
Allah reminds us in the Qur’an: ‘Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.’ (13:11).
Your change begins with a decision to live intentionally with a clear path and direction.
Set a personal vision and take purpose-driven actions.

In surah al-Ma'idah, Allah describes Maryam by saying:
[وَأُمُّهُ صِدِّيقَةٌ]
And his mother was a *siddiqah* [75]
The word *siddiqah* is sometimes translated as "a truthful woman." Commenting on this ayah, al-Qurtubi wrote:
[وإنما قيل لها صديقة لكثرة تصديقها بآيات ربها وتصديقها ولدها فيما أخبرها به . عن الحسن وغيره]
The reason why she is called a *siddiqah* is because of how much she believed her Lord's signs and believed her son regarding what he told her.
This was mentioned by al-Hasan and others.
[Jaami' li-Ahkam al-Qur'an 6/187]

You recite at least 17 times a day this Āyah and then you go to the graves or shrines and ask for help?! SERIOUSLY?!
" إِيَّاكَ نَعۡبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسۡتَعِينُ "
You (Allaah Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).
