Image
Hello my wonderful friends! Life is like a big playground where we meet many, many people (do we meet them? Everywhere!). Most people are kind and fun to play with. Alhamdullillah! But sometimes, we meet people who are a little bit... tricky. They do or say things that don't make our hearts feel good. They make us feel confused or sad or tired. It is super important to know about these tricky ways. Why? So we can keep our own hearts safe and happy! Like learning to wear a raincoat when you see dark clouds, so you don't get all wet and cold. A smart person shared some ideas about these tricky people (inspired by Ayaz Ali on Quora!). Let's learn about them together, in a simple way. Meet the 7 Tricky Friends (And What They Do): 1.

That sounds like a big, tricky grown-up phrase, right? Thinking About the Arafah Talk 2024 and Gaza This writing is about the special talk given on the Day of Arafah in 2024.

  Wow! Sometimes amazing things happen in our lives, don't they? Just like that! Pop! Like magic! (Suddenly!) Maybe you wished for something really hard with all your heart... Pop! It comes true! Maybe something felt super tricky, like a big tangled knot... Pop! Suddenly, the best path opens up, easy peasy! Maybe everything felt messy and confusing... Pop! All your plans start working out smoothly!  Why do these wonderful surprises happen? Is it because we did super big, amazing prayers? Or maybe we did some huge, heroic good deed that everyone saw?

The Secret Power of Little Good Things Think about this little secret: Maybe the big blessings come not because of our biggest actions that everyone sees. Maybe they come because of the little, tiny good things we do! The secret good deeds that maybe nobody else noticed. The simple kindnesses we do without thinking ...
