Dear Striving Soul,

In these challenging times, the cost of basic necessities has risen while financial resources are limited. Instead of feeling disheartened about not being able to save money, fulfill your goals, or assist others as much as desired, remember to be thankful to Allah for your health, safety, and life. Have faith that matters will improve soon.

Dear Friend,

Do not allow yourself to be held down by the shackles of the past. The future is brighter, so do not to allow the darkness of the past to dim the light.

May we all triumph in all ramifications by His grace. 👏🏽

تُكَ نُورٌ تَهْدِي بِهَا مَنْ تَشَاءُ

O Lord! Surely, true guidance is your guidance; and your signs are light with which you guide whomever you wish.

A RIGHTEOUS WOMAN IN ISLAM:
In Islam, neither the thought that a woman is equal nor the thought that she is a slave to her man (husband) is correct. A righteous woman should serve as a comforter, adviser and supporter of righteousness, a play and gist mate, and most importantly, a humble and modest companion to her man; no matter how successful or wealthy she is in the society.
(See Surat an-Nisā'i, verse 34)

DO NOT LET YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS IN LIFE MAKE YOU ARROGANT

As a striving being, you need to be reminded that during your sojourn in this world, there will always be someone better than you in the things you are best at. The graves have consumed people who have achieved loftier heights than you will ever achieve. Hence, endeavor to always stay humble.
