Chasing Peacocks

“Never go in search of love. Go in search of life and life will find you the love you seek.”

“Some feel lonely because they haven’t found that perfect ‘companion’ yet. Sometimes Allah sends everyone else away so you can find that only in Him.”

“If money is the focus, you will find that no matter how much money you have, you will always fear losing it. This preoccupation is poverty itself. That is why the Prophet ﷺ says about such people that poverty is always in front of their eyes. That is all they see. No matter how much they have, there is no contentment, only greed for more and fear of loss.”

“Whatever is begun in anger, ends in regret.”

“Acting humble for people’s praise is one of the most dangerous forms of riyaa (showing off).”

Stop worrying about what other people think of you. Worry about who you actually are. When your Lord raises you on the day of judgment, He will not be swayed by public opinion. He knows who you are without the titles and likes. So focus on building your character instead of your reputation.
