Are you of those who are easily affected by what people say? Do you let people’s opinions get to you and affect you in your daily life? Then you should see this video. It holds a very beautiful and important lesson indeed. Take a look…
We must always remember that no one is perfect in the least. No one is at their best all the time. But our lives are filled with choices, and what we make of those choices is what counts in this life. Even if we say something bad, the point is that we learn from it. At the heart of it all… we can use our lives to try to improve, or we can simply remain passive, but such an attitude will make us static. Static people would simply take up space, not progress in any way and would live each day not having learned anything.
سورة العنكبوت ٢
أَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ أَن يُتْرَكُوا أَن يَقُولُوا آمَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ
Surah Al-Ankaboot 29:2
Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, “We believe”, and that they will not be tested?
At tne end of the day, and as I often tend to say… what someone says about you doesn’t say anything about you. It says something about them. You are perfect just the way you are. Never let anyone tell you otherwise. But be humble about it. It is Allah who created you and made you into the person you are. For that… we show gratitude and say alhamdulillah. For anything we are given, we say… alhamdulillah.
سورة آل عمران ١٤٥
وَسَنَجْزِي الشَّاكِرِينَ
Surah Aal-i-Imraan 3:145
And swiftly shall We reward those that (serve us with) gratitude.
I for one consider myself grateful and blessed to have your attention and hope these words have brought something to consider. Be at peace with what people say, and try your best not to let yourself be clouded by it.
The best of times to you all inshallah.
Peace, happiness, and stay faithful.
