learn to love yourself


 You do not want to marry a village girl, and a girl living in a posh part of town does not want to marry you because you are from the trenches.

Then that girl travels abroad for studies and falls for a guy who does not want to marry her because she is from a third-world country. And that boy is eyeing a girl who is not eyeing him back because he is not upper-class. ............................ In life, status matters. It should not, but it does. And sadly, you do not feel the limitations of your status when you discriminate against others based on it. You only feel it when it is used to discriminate against you. .......................... That is why you need virtues to navigate life so that you are not confined by your station in life. One is contentment, and the other is constant self-improvement. Be content with your status, or you will end up hating yourself. This is why you see people having cosmetic surgeries or bleaching their skin. They hate who they are. You, on the other hand, must learn to love yourself. And anybody can do it by focusing on the positives of your physical body, intellect, and pedigree. It does not come naturally. You have to do it. If you do not learn to love yourself, you will never know how to cope with rejection. And in this world, you will encounter rejection more often than you will meet acceptance. ........................... And then there is self-development. Just because you are content with yourself does not mean that you should not try to improve yourself. Constant self-improvement is like bathing every morning. Even though you may like your body, you are still conscious enough to realise that if you do not take a bath or shower every day, that body that you like will start to degenerate. Similarly, you must improve yourself because living is like riding a bicycle. If you stop pedalling, you will fall. And if you stop improving yourself, you go downhill very fast.

The Story of Tcnl. Germán Busch

  The Story of Tcnl. Germán Busch – The Hero of Boquerón In 1932 , Bolivia and Paraguay went to war over the Gran Chaco region , a sparsely populated but strategic area believed (falsely) to be rich in oil. The conflict quickly escalated into a brutal and deadly war in the dry, unforgiving Chaco wilderness. One of the most famous and courageous figures on the Bolivian side was Germán Busch , a young military officer who would later become Bolivia’s president. In the Battle of Boquerón (September 1932), Bolivia launched a massive assault to retake a heavily fortified Paraguayan position. It was one of the first and bloodiest battles of the war. Busch, just 29 years old, led the Bolivian assault against brutal resistance. Under his command, Bolivian troops laid siege to the fortress for three weeks , facing intense heat, disease, and severe water shortages. Paraguayans were equally desperate—many drank water from radiators and mud puddles to survive. Busch personally led attac...

Year of Sorrow (ʿĀm al-Ḥuzn)

Image
  One of the most moving and historically true stories from the life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the Year of Sorrow (ʿĀm al-Ḥuzn) —a period of deep personal loss and immense spiritual endurance that shows both his humanity and his unwavering trust in God. 📅 The Year of Sorrow (619 CE) This year was named so because two of the most beloved and supportive people in the Prophet’s life passed away within months of each other: Khadijah bint Khuwaylid (RA) — his wife, partner, and first believer. Abu Talib — his uncle and protector. 💔 The Death of Khadijah Khadijah was not only the Prophet’s wife but also his closest confidante. She was the first person to believe in his prophethood , giving him comfort, emotional strength, and financial support during the earliest and hardest years of Islam. When she passed away after 25 years of marriage, the Prophet ﷺ was heartbroken. Her absence left a deep emotional void in his life. He once said: "She believed in me when no on...

Yusuf in Prison and the King's Dream

Image
  A powerful and true story about Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) , told in great detail in the Qur’an (Surah Yusuf), is his journey from slavery to rulership , centered on his time in prison and his interpretation of dreams —a pivotal moment in his life that revealed his divine gift and unwavering faith. 🕋 Yusuf in Prison and the King's Dream After being wrongfully imprisoned due to false accusations from the wife of the Egyptian official (Al-Aziz), Prophet Yusuf spent years in jail. Despite his hardship, he remained righteous, patient, and kind, gaining the respect of his fellow inmates. Two fellow prisoners had dreams and came to him for interpretation: One dreamed he was pressing wine. The other dreamed birds were eating bread from a basket on his head. Yusuf told them the meanings (one would be restored to his job; the other would be executed) — and his interpretations turned out to be accurate. Before one of them (the cupbearer) left prison, Yusuf said: "Mention ...
