I can not emphasize this enough. Clean your heart daily, clean it, forgive, forgive, forgive. Be kind, remain kind. Think good of others, once, twice, again and again. If someone tells you something bad about someone, make excuses for them. Clean your heart.

O Allah, guide the rulers of this Ummah. Grant them Taqwa and make them steadfast upon the Shariah. Bless them with the courage to implement Your law in their lands, grant them deep understanding of the Deen, and enable them to deal with their subjects with justice. O Allah, remove hypocrisy, tyranny, and ignorance from their hearts, and aid them in standing firm for the Ummah and for the oppressed.O Allah, grant the rulers of this Ummah mercy towards their subjects and righteous anger towards the oppressors of the innocent. Grant them tongues that speak the truth and actions that distinguish Haqq from Baatil. Ya Rabb, if You see even an ounce of goodness in them, increase it and make them a source of security and peace for the Ummah.Ya Rabb, Knower of the unseen and hidden matters, if You know that their hearts are corrupted and heedless of the Ummah, remove their authority and appoint for us rulers who will govern with the Qur’an and Sunnah. O Allah, destroy the disbelievers among the rulers who oppress the Muslim Ummah, massacre the believers, and violate the honor of our sisters. O Lord, remove the criminals who sit on thrones with authority over the common people.O Allah, save us from being led astray by a ruler, and protect us from rulers who show no mercy towards us.

How lucky we are to experience boring, ordinary, uneventful days. Somewhere in the world, that kind of safety is unimaginable.
