MOTIVATIONAL MOMENTS II Even in your lowest moments when you’re totally helpless, don’t despair. The Almighty will send something your way when you least expect it. No matter what you’re facing, when it’s time for you to shine, when it’s time for you to excel, you will. None can stop what He wills. Don’t stress too much over worldly matters. Worrying about the future or regretting the past is a waste of time. Leave it to the Almighty. Your hardship won’t last. Your sadness won’t last. Nothing lasts in this world. Every test you go through will empower you. You’ll be ok! HOPE | 20 MOTIVATIONAL MOMENTS II Whatever it is that you want, ask the Almighty. Your whole life can change with supplication. That’s the most powerful tool you have. Use it. Don’t waste it. It can change your fate. Only He can give you what you want. And you’ll be rewarded just for asking! As much as the Almighty opens doors for us, He also closes them. When that happens, it takes a mature mind to say, “I don’t understand it, but I’m not going to get upset because He knows what’s good for me. I shall accept it. I trust Him fully.” Never forget that the Almighty is on our side. If we take a single step towards Him, He takes many steps towards us! Yes, life is hard and unfortunate things happen to us. Often we don’t know why they happen. But trust Him and know that He wants good for us.

Most chapters end with a short lesson that reinforces the key message the chapter. This is a useful addition that encourages the reader to be firm in his or her faith and showcases the sacrifices and difficulties that come with being a believer. Mufti travels the world spreading a simple but profound message: “Do good, help others while preparing for the Hereafter”. With a rush of cool air, distant lands rolled by in a mesmerising display. They sped past Yathrib and beyond Khaybar. With each leap, the pain and difficulty from the Year of Sadness became more distant as they speared through the night towards Jerusalem, the same direction the Prophet and his followers turned to while praying.”
