I have a question for girls. If you want to ask someone about his salary, how would you ask in a way that doesn't make things awkward? What's the best or most polite way to ask someone about their salary?

One of the biggest lessons I've learned is that success in a test is not measured by whether the hardship disappears.

And failure is not measured by whether the hardship remains.

The real question is:

What did the test do to my relationship with Allah ﷻ?

Did it bring me closer to Him or further away?

When my du'as weren't answered immediately...
Did I stop making du'a?
Or did I become more sincere?

When life became difficult...
Did I abandon prayer?
Or did I hold onto it tighter?

When I was hurt by people...
Did I become bitter?
Or did I become more patient?

Allah ﷻ says:

﴿ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ ﴾

"And give glad tidings to the patient."
(Qur'an 2:155)

And He describes them as those who, when afflicted with hardship, say:

﴿ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ ﴾

"Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return." (Qur'an 2:156)

The Prophet ﷺ also said:

"How wonderful is the affair of the believer! All of his affairs are good for him. If something pleasing happens, he is grateful and that is good for him. If hardship befalls him, he is patient and that is good for him." (Muslim)

Perhaps the true success of a trial is not that Allah removes it.

Perhaps the true success is that the trial brings us back to Allah ﷻ.

Because one day every test will end.

But what remains is who we became while going through it.

اللهم اجعل بلاءنا سبباً لقربنا منك ولا تجعله سبباً لبعدنا عنك.

Non Muslim: you wash your feet in the sink?
Muslim: er..
NM: you’re disgusting wash it in the bath tub
Muslim: ok
NM: you wash your face in the same sink you wash your feet and Muslims say they are clean?
Muslim: yeah

🌿 A beautiful reminder:

When you see a blessing in your own life, say:

"ما شاء الله"

But when you see a blessing in someone else's life, don't stop there.

Make du'a for them:

🤍 اللهم بارك له
🤍 اللهم بارك لها
🤍 اللهم بارك لهم

Because a believer doesn't just admire blessings.

A believer asks Allah ﷻ to place barakah in them.

May Allah ﷻ bless what He has given us and bless what He has given others. آمِيْن اللّهُمَّ آمِيْن 

اللهم بارك لنا ولهم 🤍

One of the most powerful pieces of advice I came across is this saying from Ibn Ata'illah رحمه الله:
"𝐃𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡 ﷻ."

Think about it.
Some people make you remember the dunya. Others make you remember Allah ﷻ.
Some people normalize heedlessness. Others inspire you to pray more, learn more, and become better.

The best companions are not necessarily the funniest, the richest, or the most popular.

They are the ones who, when you see them:

🤍 You remember Allahﷻ.
🤍 You feel motivated to improve yourself.
🤍 You become more conscious of your purpose.
🤍 You are encouraged to seek knowledge and do good.

And when they speak, they remind you:

"Fear Allah."
"Be patient."
"Trust Allah ﷻ."
"Do what pleases Allah ﷻ."

In a world where people influence us more than we realize, choose your companions carefully.

Because the people around you are often helping shape the person you are becoming.

اللهم ارزقنا الصحبة الصالحة التي تدلنا عليك وتعيننا على طاعتك.

O Allah, bless us with righteous companions who guide us to You and help us remain steadfast upon Your obedience. آمِيْن اللّهُمَّ آمِيْن 🤲🏻🥹

Normalise saying Alhamdullilah after every achievement. Our success isn't solely from our own hustle—it's from Allah's favor. Allah is the one that give that to you and He can get it back anytime He wants. Keep your heart attached to the Giver, not the gift.

Some people don't see how much you do for them. They focus on what you didn't do, and no matter how much you give, it still feels like it's not enough. That's why you can't measure your worth through other people's expectations.

You've already made it through things you once thought would break you. That strength didn't disappear. It's still in you, even on the days your mind feels loud and heavy. Obstacles aren't here to stop you, they're proof that you're still moving, still growing, still refusing to fold.

When anxiety creeps in, remind yourself, not every thought deserves your trust. Take it one moment at a time. Breathe, reset, and keep going. Don't forget how far you've come. You're stronger than what you're facing and you'll get through it.
