When times are hard, when your spirit is low, when you've been knocked
to your knees, or maybe just one knee… use that moment of humility to
praise Allah, the Most Glorious. Then find something in your life to
be grateful for.
Maybe you are grateful for your children, or your good health, or the
plentiful food on your table, or having good clean drinking water that
doesn't give you diseases, or a friend who makes youlaugh, or the fact
that Allah has blessed you with Islam when so many are wandering in
darkness anddespair. Or even just sitting on the grass feelingthe
breeze, or a cat that sits in your lap and purrs… Find the many
blessings in your life, the hidden sources of happiness, and stand up,
and thank Allah.
Move forward with your head up, keeping your focus on Allah's gifts to
you, and your gratitude. Step, step, step with a grateful heart, and
that's how it's done.
