How are you focusing on yourself?

A Woman once asked her mother:
"Mother, how will I ever find the right Man?"
Her mother replied, "Forget finding the 'Right' Man, focus on being the right Woman." And we read in the Qur'an:
"Good women are for good men and good men are for good women."
How are you focusing on yourself???

This is actually a post from Facebook page of Productive Muslims. It knocks my mind this morning. I am thinking just like the woman in the story. And now I mean starting from today, Insha Allah, I will look with different perspective. There is a good question here for us to ponder; How are you focusing on yourself?

May Allah guide us to the right path each and every single day.

Something Had Happened

 4 things that I discovered today;

1) Simple but yet very wise quote:

Don’t rely on someone else for your happiness or to validate your self worth. Only you can be responsible for these things. If you can’t love and respect yourself - you can’t expect someone else to make it happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes when you want to, not because you think someone else wants you to be different.

2) Ya ALLAH, save me and protect me from forgetting akhirah. Amin ya Rabb!

Dari Tsauban r.a : Rasulullah saw bersabda, “Hampir tiba suatu masa di mana bangsa-bangsa dari seluruh dunia akan datang mengemuruni kamu (umat Islam) bagaikan orang-orang yang hendak makan mengerumuni talam hidangan mereka.”

Maka salah seorang sahabat bertanya, ‘Apakah dari kerana (bilangan) kami sedikit pada hari itu?’ Nabi saw menjawab, “Bahkan kamu pada hari itu banyak (ramai) sekali, tetapi kamu umpama buih di waktu banjir dan Allah akan mencabut rasa gerun terhadap kamu dari hati musuh-musuh kamu; dan Allah akan mencampakkan ke dalam hati kamu penyakit ‘wahan’.”

Seorang sahabat bertanya, ‘Apakah wahan itu hai Rasulullah?’ Nabi saw menjawab, “Cinta pada dunia dan takut pada mati.” [Riwayat Abu Daud]

 3) I got homework! Yippee! At least, this is how to build a productive me.

 4) Blessing from ALLAH. My brother will give me something to kick start the next phase of life. Alhamdulillah!
