Being helpful

-
Being helpful and helping those around us is something we are taught since we were small. We were taught to help out by picking up our toys, taking out the garbage, cleaning our rooms and so forth so we can be helpful to others lighten and lessen their load.

Helping eventually becomes part of our daily life and we see that we help without even knowing. Whether we give someone a pen when they ask, holding the door or giving the right of way we always help others in some way whether big or small. Being helpful is very important because it shows people we care about them and have complete respect for them. When we offer our service and assistance to someone we acknowledge that we care about them want to help out of their difficult situation and make things easier for them. 

Islam rewards acts of kindness whether they be small or large, the prophet (s.a.w) said that removing something harmful from the road or smiling and giving a cheerful face to the people around us it is a charity and that Allah loves small deeds that are done with consistency.



Being helpful does not just provide a smile to those we help but us too




This means that with little acts of kindness we are rewarded greatly for them and by helping others we feel a sort happiness when we see them happy. Happiness is in making others experience happiness and not just satisfying ourselves. Being helpful makes us selfless and allows us to put those who need our help whether in the slightest form or hardest and gives a sense of self pleasure knowing that we were one of the reasons why a person’s live can change for the better.

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...
