The emaan of a person cannot be true until he has more trust in that which is in Allahs Hands than that which is in his own hands. [Ali Ibn Abi Talib RadiAllahu Anhu] Be like a child, who would say, I asked my mother to bring me my lunch to school. The lunch time almost comes to an end and all his friends would say, I dont think your mom is gonna come. The lunch time is almost over. The child would not stop and will say over again, Say anything you want, I know my mom will come and give me the best lunch ever!. No sooner than he turns around, he finds his mother holding his favorite lunch. The child would then tell his friend, I told you, she would! My mother is amazing. She loves me so much. The reason I have mentioned the story of a mother and a child is to show the pure innocence of the child. How he trusted his mother and waited patiently on her that she will bring him his favorite food he asked her to get. Also the relationship between a mother and her child is amazingly remarkable. A mother loves her child so much and never asks for anything in return. In your life you will always find people who love you but no other love in the world compares to that of a mother. Now, imagine your relationship with Allah Subhana Wa taala. Allah loves us more than our mothers. So if you ask Him for something, dont lose hope, know He will give you the best! Always Expect the best from Allah Subhana Wa taala. 5. Always remember after hardship comes ease. So be patient. Life is like a coin. Pleasure and pain are the two sides. Only one side is visible at a time. But remember other side is waiting for its turn. 6. When things go wrong always say: ﺣﺴﺒﻨﺎ ﺁﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻭﻧﻌﻢ ﺁﻟﻮﻛﻴﻞ Allah (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us).[Surah Al Imran 173] It doesnt matter if you get rejected by someone. You never know whats the good behind it. Allah says in the Quran: It may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know. (2: 216) Leave your affairs to Allah Subhana Wa Taala. What is meant to happen will happen InshaAllah and you will get rewarded for your patience. I can almost imagine myself in Jannah enjoying the fruits and drinks flowing like a waterfall. The more I am waiting here, the more I am enjoying there and dont forget Jannah is eternal. 7. Increase in worship. Start fasting every Mondays and Thursdays. It is sunnah! Fasting helps you and you can make lots of duas while you are fasting. 8. Read Quran daily and reflect upon it. It doesnt matter if you do not get what you want here in this world, you still have the Hereafter. You have not lost anything. The affairs of a believer are good both in this world and the hereafter. 9. Keep doing good deeds and give more charity. Surely, Allahs Mercy is [ever] near unto the good-doers. (Quran 7:56] Know that Paradise is not far away. So work hard for it and compete with other believers in righteousness.
