''Advise'':-:- “What is a sin?” Whereupon the Messnger said: “When something pricks your conscience, give it up.” (Tirmidhi)

A big part of learning from mistakes is learning to trust our
instincts, because when we make the big mistakes there's almost always
a little voice inside saying, "This is not a good idea." But our nafs
(our lower self, our desires) causes us to ignore that voice. So we
need to learn to trust that inner voice of truth and fitrah.
A person asked Allah's Messenger (sws): "What is faith?" He said:
"When a good deed becomes a source of pleasure for you and an evil
deed becomes a source of disgust for you, then you are a believer." He
again said to Allah's Messenger (sws): "What is a sin?" Whereupon the
Messnger said: "When something pricks your conscience, give it up."
(Tirmidhi)
So the conscience is an effective guide, of course not neglecting
salat, dua', Quran and Sunnah.
A corollary to this is not to blame ourselves for making mistakes.
This learning process is how Allah brings us along, making us more
sincere, smarter, wiser, and stronger. That's how we manage to do
better next time.
So instead of blaming yourself endlessly for past mistakes, use what
you've learned to build somethinggood and bright now, today, and in
the future./

HADEES:->-

Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle [SAWS] said,"Do not hate one
another, and do not be jealous of one another, and do not desert each
other, and O, Allah's worshipers! Be brothers. Lo! It is not
permissible for any Muslim to desert (not talk to) his brother
(Muslim) for more than three days." (Sahih Bukhari Book 73, Hadith91)

''Advise'':-:-Tells how to say Salam, the Islamic greeting, correctly:

A board that instructs how to say Salaam correctly Passing by one of
the lanes in theold part of town I spotted this board. The hoarding
installed in front of one of the oldest talkies in the city, tells how
to say the Salam [Salaam] correctly.
The scripts reads, 'Salam ka sahihtariiqa' or the 'Right way of
greeting the other person'.
It is 'Assalam-o-Alaikum' or 'Assalamu-Alaikum', not Salam Alaikum.
And the reply is Walaikum Assalam.
As the words are in Arabic, it is possible that people may not know
the exact pronunciation. I've commonly heard 'Assalam-Walaikum' also.
It can be a religious issue, just a linguistic exercise or an age-old
habit due to which people only greet others with the first half of the
sentence, as if they are in a hurry.
I haven't seen such boards and hence took the photograph. Apart from
Urdu, it also mentionsthe correct 'Salam' in devnagari [Hindi script].
As far as the meaning goes, it is 'Peace be upon you' and the reply is
'So be on you'.
For people with roots in Awadh [region around Lucknow], we were always
more accustomed with the 'secular' Adab [pronunciation: Aadaab]. It
still comes more natural to me. Just like Khuda Hafiz, which I am more
comfortable though most of my acquaintances now say Allah Hafiz.
The board is installed over a kebab seller's shop. It might get a new
banner or hoarding any day, as these days flex advertising banners
have almost pushed painters out of the job, as they can be easily be
preparedand put up. Hence, I thought, I should click the photo.
Enough words for a post now. Hope I haven't put you in a fix and you
are not thinking whether you spell out the Salam correctly/
