When we constantly belittle our children there comes a time when they begin to believe whatever we have said. This results in low self esteem and psychological disorders or complexes. In turn they resort to irresponsible behaviour and habits.

However, when we constantly praise our children, telling them how important they are to us, how much we love them, how gorgeous and special they are and how proud we are of them, their self esteem is boosted, confidence levels shoot up, they focus on achieving more and they are more likely to be saved from dangerous or irresponsible behaviour and habits.

This is why we MUST go out of our way to make such heart warming statements to them regularly and never forget to do the same to ALL our children.

You’ve got 99 problems and 86 of them are completely made up scenarios in your head that you’re stressing about for absolutely no logical reason. Stop. Have hope in Allah SWT.

Ya Allah SWT, you are As-Salam, the source of peace. From You is all peace and tranquility.

Ya Salam, there are those across this Ummah that are living in broken homes, that are in broken relationships.

Mothers that are broken with their children, spouses whose relationships is broken, friends whose relationships are broken.

Slaves of Yours whose relationships with You are broken.

Ya Allah SWT, You are the Healer of wounds, You are the Remover of pain, You are the Giver of peace.

Heal the hearts of those whose homes & hearts are broken. Soften the hearts that have become hard with sin.

Give patience and courage to those that are mocked and suffer as they struggle to remain on Your path.

Guide the families that are far away from guidance. Heal the hearts that are hurting and take away the pain.

O Lord of Mankind, make every hardship a means of returning back to You.

Give us peace in our hearts so that we can face every storm with an Alhamdulillah.

Allahuma Ameen.
