What’s something you have learned this year?

I’ll go first,

I learned that Allah will truly exceed your expectations when it’s His time to give. It’s not a myth or something that happens only for the prophets. It was something I had always known but this year, I experienced it and subhanallah every ounce of patience is worth the reward. Every pain for it, is worth it. Allahu Akbar.

Even when you feel you don’t deserve it, Allah still gives beyond what you thought you would receive, and his rahmah (mercy) will make you cry out of shukr (thankfulness) and love for Him.

So stay patient with a beautiful patience and expect only the best from your merciful Rabb, Al-Wadud 🤍 & He will give the best for you.

May Allah عز وجل exceed our expectations and grant us the best of blessings in the akhirah, ameen.

Okay, now your turn!

I have learned that Allah provides for us in ways we will never understand. He knows what's better for us, He sees what we don't see, and that's why we should always rely on Him. He protects us in many unexplainable ways, blesses us infinitely, and is always with us—at the end of the day, when we think we are alone with our thoughts and fears, we are not alone. He is indeed closer than we might realize. The most touching feeling was that He welcomes us even when we can't tolerate ourselves anymore and that He is more than enough. Contemplation and reflection.

May you find someone who is gentle to you. May you get a person who sees you and figures you out, only to be consistently kind and understanding to you. Someone who finds it easy not to prod you where it hurts, and to respect that some things are uniquely painful to you. Someone who has the patience for all of your triggers, without trying to fix them. Someone who lets you take all of the steps in your recovery on your own, but cheers you on, on every step of the way.

Always remember these

1) The past can't be changed.

There are many people in the world who are suffering from their own past. They can't manage to escape from their past experiences and losses. All the time when we try to do something great, our past failures come in our mind and we think that again this time I will face failure, so this fear of failure doesn't allow us to move toward success. If you don't leave your past in the past, it will destroy your future. Live for what today has to offer, not for what yesterday has taken away. So, keep in mind "Your past was never a mistake, If you learned from it" always try to learn great lessons from your past.

2) Opinions don't define your reality.

We are human and we all live in this world with many other people. We all depend upon others directly or indirectly. It means we are social animals. We can't live separately from this world and in our lives we hear many people's opinions about ourselves. These people may be our family members, maybe our friends, maybe our teachers and maybe common people that are living around us. Many times their opinions hurt us badly. The result of all this comes in this sense, we stop doing what we were doing or we stop doing what we like and start doing what we don't like and indefinitely this leads us to our own destruction. So the matter is that, our life, our life, how someone else can mold our life. Don't let someone else's opinion of you become your reality. You're the one who has to choose what you're going to do and what is better for you because people don't matter at all.

3) Everyone's destination is different.

I still remember when my thinking was totally the same as other common people. I used to say, why many of my friends succeeded in their life and I am still getting education, but after some time I realized that "Everyone's destination is different". In this world, time for succession is different for everyone, not all people get the same thing at the same time. There are many chances for you. Maybe there is something better reserved for you. The point is that never get disappointed in your life, keep going high and high, your destination will come. Life is a journey. When we stop, things don't go right.

4) Judgments are not about you.

People will never stop judging you. Even your closet friends will judge you because it's the nature of humans to judge others, whether it's positive judgments or negative judgments. So, we need to remember that these judgments are not for us. We shouldn't care about people's judgments. People will always be there to discourage you. This will not care about your struggles and achievement. Thus, don't care about judgmental statements of people and shock them with your success. If you make decisions based upon people's reactions or judgments, then you make really boring choices.

5) Over thinking will lead to sadness.

One of the topmost problems of the people of today's world is over thinking. Over thinking is an art of creating problems that don't even exist. When something bad happens in our life, we start thinking about it. That is not bad, but after sometimes we get trapped in those problems and incidents and start thinking over and over. This disturbs the peace of our mind and life and further we fall in the state of depression that kills us slowly and slowly. So crux is that, in all these types of situations, we should keep our minds calm and try to focus on new things and work that we have to do.

6) Happiness is found within.

We are all searching for happiness here and there in this world, but we should realize that the key to happiness is being happy by yourself and for yourself. You're the only person who can make yourself happy, always remember no one is there for you, everyone is struggling to deal with their own problems, no one is free in this busy world. If you think that someone will come and make you happy, this means you're lying to yourself because it's your responsibility to work for yourself, not anyone else. So, always search for happiness within yourself.

7) Your thoughts affect your mood.

There are two types of thoughts that come in your mind: negative and positive. Thoughts can build you or destroy you. Your mood and your behavior are also closely related to your thoughts. No matter how bad the situation is, your mood depends on your thoughts. If you take all the things positively, you find a better result and ultimately it will make your mood fresh and happy. If you think negatively, you will never solve your problems and this will make your mood bad and sad. So we can say that being positive is a secret to your happy mood.

8) Smiles are contagious.

" Smiles are free that you can give to everyone". A smile is worth it because it can make some happy just in the second. We saw many people, who always remain in an angry state and they smile rarely. We can also claim that that those type of people don't attract others and usually people keep themselves away from angry people. As a result, people lose their own happiness and think no one likes them. So, what we can do, we can smile. Smile, it's free therapy, it can cure your as well as other people's sadness and depression. Once mother Teresa said, "Peace Begins with a smile."

9) Kindness is free.

Kindness is also free, like a smile. There are some people who are born with this quality, but there are many people who become kind because of some incidents that happen in their life or their circumstances make them kind. Kind people are a real gem in this world because they feel the pain of others and try to help them according to their capacity. We can judge that clean hearted people attract more kind heated people than hard-hearted people. So, your kindness is directly related to your happiness and peace of mind. If you want to have a happy and peaceful life, be kind to others.

10) It's okay to let go and move on.

There are many things that we had in the past, but now we don't have the same like this. There are many people that were with us, but now they are not here. I know it's not easy to forget someone, there are a lot of memoires and feelings related with others thats why I am not going to say, forget someone because I believe that we can forget someone completely from our mind but we can let them go, If someone has gone from your life or want to go let him go because you can't stop anyone and you also have to move on, don't allow anyone to stop you. Again, I would say " People don't matter, your life matters."

11) What goes around, comes around.

This means you will attract what you do. If you do bad with someone else, bad will happen to you and if you do good with someone else, good will happen to you. Always try to do something better for humanity, always take care of the poor and orphans around you, don't hurt anyone with your action or with your tongue. In this way, you can also live a peaceful and happy life.

12) Things always get better with time.

Nothing is fixed in this world. If you're feeling down today, keep patience because it will pass, don't let anything down you. Many times things are not getting okay and this makes us hopeless and we start thinking negatively about all the things, we start hating ourselves and our lives too. This is not the solution. We should do hard work and wait for the best time to come because things will get better with time.

My eldest sister always emphasizes on having realistic expectations especially regarding marriage. I didn't use to understand before (considering the generation who have romanticized relationships and marriage so much that I'm from) but now I am slowly getting it. i was casually having a discussion earlier with my sisters and this thing came up & one thing that particularly stuck with me was that she said, "there's a lot of healing that one needs to do before marriage, a lot of it". It's not that I didn't knew it before but hearing it from her reminded me of how we keep living in a false reality that our wounds will be miraculously healed somehow by someone else, who we often think will be our spouse. This not only ends up building an unrealistic pressure on your spouse but also always ends up with you being disappointed and hurt even more than before. Because you put the load on someone else which wasn't their's to carry, to begin with, and when they are unable to deliver those results you end up being disillusioned with marriage as a whole. We grow up dreaming about things we see in movies and novels not realising how damaging they can be to us later down the line. Know how you want your relationship to be by all means, but do not measure it with fictitious works... there is no perfect woman or man breathing right now, if there are, they are all only pretending. Marriage is not a romantic movie or a novel. There will be boring and mundane days, and a lot of them. Your marriage should be based on the understanding that we are two different individuals and both respecting that individuality. marriage should be done knowing that your happiness is not dependent on the other and that you're two complete beings, coming together only to complement eachother. Understand that marriage is not an escape from your traumas or difficulties. It comes with its own set of responsibilities. I am not saying marriage can't be beautiful but it can be beautiful only when there's a shared understanding of things. You are complete as you are. A soulmate is only meant to complement you. That is why we (as a man or a woman) should not make , at any point of our lives, the center of our existence anything except our creator —not marriage, not kids, not the house, not your job. Be content where you are in your life. Grow, heal, have standards, know your value and also your flaws, and work on them, build yourself, have goals, be capable enough to stand yourself... better yourself each day, but do it for yourself and with the intention to please Allah. And then when He deems it fit for you to meet someone, you will meet them as your healthiest self, seeing things from a different perspective, not from a place of vulnerability. You will know what you're looking for. You will not then be chasing happiness somewhere else or in someone else because it would be within you, no matter where you are, at whatever stage in your life. The sense of fulfillment that you are looking for? It does not come from someone else, it only comes from your relationship with yourself and with your Lord. What makes a marriage good mainly, I believe, is respect, understanding, and compatibility. Those are the things to look for.

“I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don’t feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid’s runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it’s difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (“I’m not a big one for paying compliments…”), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself.”
