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.❞

❝If you are afflicted with a difficulty and hardship then perhaps that difficulty is good for you.
Whether that difficulty is in your wealth or on your body or in anything which pains and worries you.

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.

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.

WHO DO YOU ASK FOR ADVICE?
The person who has a secret, as we previously described, should tighten his chest, but if he feels he must share his secret, he should do so by consulting someone who is religious, intelligent, and beloved, and he should never seek advice from someone who does not possess these three characteristics. If he is not religious, he will betray him; if he is not intelligent, then he will make a mistake regarding the correct course; and if he is not loved, then he may not give him sincere advice.
