Listen: if you are suffering in silence: stop. This is not what patience looks like. It is not what God is asking you for. The Prophet endured and patiently persevered but he never never stopped moving, stopped looking for a way out, a different path to a better situation. If it hurts, complain to the One who never tires and then get up and work. Do your part. Be your own advocate. Seek assistance. Be fearless. I'm not discounting the possible danger. Only telling you that we were put here for striving. Hajjar didn't sit and "suffer in silence"-- she was running. She was sweating. She was striving. That was your mother. You are more than the brokenness of this moment.

Sometimes, silence is the best response
- Mufti Menk

 

Never force your spouse to choose between you and the family. It is unIslamic and unethical to do so

Sometimes...
those who seem the happiest are the saddest -
those who seem to joke the most, cry the most -
those who are well liked are the loneliest -
those who give the most hope, find it hard to hope -
those who sing the most, experience personal silence the most -
those who give the most, feel they receive little -
those who care the most, go with little care.

No matter what you see on the outside of a person,
realize that life is simply difficult at times,
for everyone -
so treat each person with gentleness and care.

Anger cannot be overcome by anger. If someone is angry with you, and you show anger in return, the result is a disaster. On the other hand, if you control your anger and show its opposite – love, compassion, tolerance and patience – not only will you remain peaceful, but the other person's anger will also diminish
via Dalia Lama

So, we have to treat them according to their behaviour and personality, and treat them rightly and with mercy

Ibn Nuaim reported: Sufyan Ath-Thawri, may Allah have mercy on hIm. would say, "If a man intended to write the hathh, he would study good manners and worship for twenty years before doing so."

Ibn Al Mubarak, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "I sought manners for thirty years and I sought knowledge for twenty years. The righteous predecessors would seek manners and then seek knowledge."

Di mana ada kebahagiaan, pasti ada cinta.

Tapi sayangnya - di mana ada cinta, belum tentu ada kebahagiaan.

 

Yang miskin tidak akan lama miskin jika dia jujur, ikhlas bekerja keras, selalu bersyukur, dan manja kepada Tuhan
