Hadith of the Day - 17

Assalamu Alaikum!

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

"There is no gift that is better and more comprehensive than patience."

[Sahih al-Bukhari, 1400]

______

Reflections:-


Impatience and frustration usually occur when we are being overworked. In those moments we can become short-tempered and snappy, even towards those who are trying to help us. Sometimes it really can't be helped and you just have to apologise to them afterwards. That being said, there are some things that we can try to do to calm down.


Tips:-


1. If you don't have to do everything on your own, then don't. Ask someone to help you.
2. Allah can always make things easier for you, even if no one else can. So make dua'a.
3. Take short breaks from your work - especially when studying and revising - and do something completely different.

Ramadan - Week 2

Assalamu Alaikum!

Another week has gone by and we're back with our second Reward Calendar filler's post. Also, in case you were wondering, we wanted to explain how we are using the different coloured pockets. The pink ones are for presents, games and activities. The yellow ones mostly contain prompts that are meant to give you reward in the next life, insha'Allah. And the beige pockets are for sweets and edible treats. Here is what Sumayyah received this week.

Day 8 - A 'De-clutter & Donate' prompt card.

Day 9 - Lollipop.

Day 10 - Smiley face container.

Day 11 - 'Write a Ramadan Newsletter' prompt card.

Day 12 - Necklace.

Day 13 - Sweet.

Day 14 - A 'De-clutter & Donate' prompt card.

Ramadan is the perfect time to 'Spring Clean' the house, so you'll probably be seeing more of these 'De-clutter & Donate' cards! We hope that you are all well and that you are having a peaceful and productive Ramadan. See you in a week, insha'Allah.

Wassalam,
