Listen Attentively

A man came to Abdul-Allah bin Mas’ûd, may Allah be pleased with him. 
He said, “Give me advice.”

Abdul-Allah said,

 “If you hear Allah saying, “O you believe,” then you should listen to it attentively.
 It is a good thing you are commanded to do, or an evil you are forbidden to do.”

Change Needs Time

Change needs time to take place. 
Thus, advocates of a just cause should not expect that their goals would swiftly realize. They should not act as if people were only waiting for them and as soon as they  knew about their cause, they would rush to follow and support that cause. 
 In real life, bringing change into existence is a long process involving a great deal of patience, comprise that does not affect the principles of the cause, positive communication and negotiation with the followers and adversaries of the cause, and unshakable commitment to the cause.

Non-Violence & Commitment

Indeed, people committed to non-violence always find fruitful solutions for hostile situations.

Stars & Success

The stars welcome those who adore success. 

Forgiveness

Sometimes it is difficult to forgive, even if we want to forgive. 

Giving & Gifts

When we understand that what we own are gifts from the Owner of the universe, Allah, we will seek to get more gifts by giving them happily to whomever we meet.

The Genius and Hidden Opportunities

Ordinary people see the outer immediate outcomes of events, but the genius sees the hidden positive possible outcomes of evens. 

Human beings mostly react positively or negatively to what their senses encounter without thinking that there may be other interpretations and understanding of the situation in hand.

On the other hand, people who have high intellectual understanding and who are willing to give opportunities for whatever positive interpretations of a seemingly negative situation, do their best not to give haste judgment. 

They foresee the hidden positive possible outcomes of evens.
