Put yourself first.



Recently I go through my online reading and I would love to share more words from one of my favourite islamic scholars that might helps and lift up us—


A friend will not share your struggles, and a loved one cannot physically take away your pain, and a close one will not stay up the night on your behalf. So look after yourself, protect yourself, nurture yourself and don't give life's events more than what they are really worth. Know for certain that when you break no one will heal you except you, and when you are defeated no one will give you victory except your determination. Your ability to stand up again and carry on is your responsibility. Do not look for your self worth in the eyes of people; look for your worth from within your conscious. If your conscious is at peace then you will ascend high and if you truly know yourself then what is said about you won't harm you”


Live your life with this principle: Be good even if you don't receive good, not because for other's sake but because Allah Loves those who do good."



— Imam Ibn al-Qayyim
