Take care of your inside as you do your out

-
In todays world, appearance is important. When we walk outside people judge us on the way we look, people you know comment on the way we look such as 'you lost weight' or gained a few kilos or even comment on the clothes you are wearing. However, very little concern is payed to character and moral standards, how we treat those around us is often looked over and nobody pays attention to how they treat others. We place so much concerns on our appearance that treating someone wrong is not a big deal and we commonly do it.

The question is why put so much emphasis in something that is fleeting. Our hair will turn grey, our bodies will become feeble and our faces will wrinkle, the beauty and the appearance we waste money to keep will fade and the only thing that will remain is our inside. Our character is how people judge us, even when we die we will be remembered for how we treated those in our lives and around us. Money you will leave behind and it will be inherited, fame but the fame that will follow you is the lifeline of your good deeds and kindness towards others. They will not remember you for your money or fame or appearance if you treated them badly, some people even rejoice at the death of a person who made their life terrible due to their bad character.







If this is the case then we should aim to take care of our character and the way we treat those around us. If fame, money and status is fleeting then we should try to reach for what does not fleet. Good character follows us through out our lives and even when we die. We know it is important because when we are kids we are taught to be polite, say please and thank you and respect those around us. As we grow this changes and improving our character is one of our priorities and this leads to poor character to develop.

Character is vital as it is what allows to live with people in a cohesive manner. It is essential for us as good character is a legacy that we can leave behind. taking care of your outside is important but the beauty of your good heart shines harder and eliminates your outside appearance. So Make sure to take of your inside as you do your out.

Words are sharper than a knife

-
Words are apart of our lives and we use them every second of our lives. Words can be a sense of pride, for instance, we laugh and cheer when a baby says their first word or speaks in a complete sentence for the first time. words are beautiful, but they can also have a dark side. Words can hurt, they can scar and change a person's life forever. That is why it is important for our tongues to have a leash as it can cause so much damage. As individuals we live on emotion, we require love, care and respect to fully function and the words we choose to say to someone can effect an individual. That is why backbiting, slandering and all forms of negative deeds that can be done through words are not allowed. The tongue puts an individual in the most trouble as you are most likely to offend someone with your words than your fists or weapons. Most of the time we believe we are making a harmless comment about a friend, family member or an individual but it is harmful as it is easier to repair...

starting a new year

-
2017 has begun and it was welcomed the same way 2016 was welcomed and 2015 and all the years before that. Laughter, fireworks and big parties are thrown to mark the end of the previous year and welcome the new one but after that live goes back to normal again. Reaching a new year is a blessing because it gives us the chance to contemplate on the previous year and make a change to the new year that has started. Many people do not have this chance because they did not reach the new year and since we did not know we will reach the next year we should use this opportunity wisely. Every day we get to see the sun rise to a new day and breathe the air of that day is a chance to make a difference in our lives. It is a chance to be thankful for the blessings we have never been thankful for before that we have been given before they are lost. The prophet (s.a.w) told us to remember Allah during are times of prosperity so he may remember us during our periods of adversity. It is a chance...

Be Thankful

Sometimes as people we are the ones who burden ourselves in ways that are not necessary and one of the biggest ways we do is by aiming to be what we are not. We love to be what we are not, trying to be a person that is not us by wearing the mask of another. We do not develop our sense of self but try to live the life of another and this leads us to insecurities and self-doubt. The reason for this is that we want to live the life of another by burying the real us deep inside and each time the real us stares at us, we continue to lock it up by looking for more things and others techniques on how they live.   This leads us to something called overconsumption and begin to hurt ourselves as we always want what we do not have but are never thankful for what we already have. We may be healthy, fit, have the necessities in our lives but we continue to see our lives empty because we are focused on what’s missing, not what’s already there. This leads to overconsumption as w...
