When you meet someone who is spiritually healthy, you’re immediately drawn to that person. You feel good just by being around them. These people are magnets for happiness, freedom and generosity, and have a unique ability to enjoy the present moment.

The only way you can achieve true spiritual satisfaction is by following your heart’s desires. Here are some clues that you can use to stay on the right path.

Here are 20 signs you’re spiritually healthy:

1. You stepped out of the victim role and now play the game of designing your destiny.

2. You love your life because you’re living your soul’s purpose.

3. You feel like you’re contributing and serving with generosity.

4. You got off the emotional roller coaster, and your emotions feel like smooth waves on a clear day most of the time.

5. You catch yourself when you judge others and realize that what you’re judging is intimately related to your own self-acceptance.

6. You don’t fear making the wrong decision, because you’re aware that there can always be a spiritual lesson.

7. You understand that freedom and happiness are qualities you cultivate from within, and the more you work on them, the more they grow.

8. You no longer feel like you need to hide out of fear of judgment; you are the full expression of yourself personally and professionally.

9. You spend time in silence daily and crave it when you miss a day, because you feel like something is “off.”

7 THINGS I DIDN’T EXPECT WHEN I CONVERTED TO ISLAM

By: Theresa Corbin

After many years of studying religion and coming to the conclusion that Islam was the only religion that made sense to my nature and who I wanted to be in the eyes of God, I converted to Islam. My life has changed drastically. And even though I took about three years to negotiate this decision and think about all the things in my life that I would leave behind and all the things I would incorporate, I had no idea how different my life would be. I had no idea… I have compiled a list of (some) things that I never expected.

How to perform Salat-l-Istikhara

Salat-l-Istikhara

Anytime a Muslim is making a decision, he or she should seek Allah’s guidance and wisdom. Allah alone knows what is best for us, and there may be good in what we perceive as bad, and bad in what we perceive as good.

If you are ambivalent or unsure about a decision you have to make, there is a specific prayer for guidance (Salat-l-Istikhara) that you can do to ask for Allah’s help in making your decision. Should you marry this certain person? Should you attend this graduate school? Should you take this job offer or that one? Allah knows what is best for you, and if you are not sure about a choice that you have, seek His guidance.

Salat al-Istikhara is a powerful tool that Allah has given us to ask His guidance in all matters. We should not hesitate to pray Istikhara before making any choice in our lives, big or small.

It’s important to do this prayer with sincerity, knowing in our hearts that only Allah can give us the guidance we seek, and resolved to follow the guidance He gives us, even if it clashes with our own desires.

We should also say the dua with firm conviction, not begging or pleading, but asking Allah clearly for guidance.

And we should not be impatient after our dua. We do not put Allah on a timetable. And we should not expect some sort of miracle, or a dream full of signs and symbols. These things are not necessary. We simply say our prayers and trust that Allah has heard us and will answer us in the way that is best.

Every moment counts; every word, every decision, every action, or inaction. Too many people die filled with regret. Don’t be one of them.

 Every moment counts; every word, every decision, every action, or inaction. Too many people die filled with regret. Don’t be one of them.
 Cada momento cuenta, cada palabra, cada decisión, cada acción o inacción. Hay demasiadas personas que mueren llenos de pesar. No seas uno de ellos.
 Elk moment telt, elk woord, elke beslissing, elke actie, of nalaten. Te veel mensen sterven gevuld met spijt. Wees niet een van hen.
 Chaque minute compte, chaque mot, chaque décision, chaque action, ou l’inaction. Trop de gens meurent remplis de regret. Ne soyez pas l’un d’eux.
 Jeder Augenblick zählt, jedes Wort, jede Entscheidung, jede Handlung oder Untätigkeit. Zu viele Menschen sterben mit Bedauern gefüllt. Seien Sie nicht einer von ihnen sein.
 Měi yīkè jìshù, měi yīgè zì, měi yīgè juédìng, měi yīgè dòngzuò, huò wúsuǒzuòwéi. Tài duō de rén mó chōngmǎnle yíhàn. Bùyào chéngwéi qízhōng zhī yī.
 Varje ögonblick räknas, varje ord, varje beslut, varje handling, eller passivitet. Alltför många människor dör fylld med ånger. Var inte en av dem.
 Kazhdyy moment naschityvayet ; kazhdoye slovo , kazhdoye resheniye , kazhdoye deystviye ili bezdeystviye . Slishkom mnogo lyudey umirayut zapolneno s sozhaleniyem . Ne bud’te odnim iz nikh.
 Her an sayar, her kelimeyi, her kararı, her eylem veya eylemsizliği. Çok sayıda insan pişmanlıkla dolu die. Bunlardan biri olmayın.
 Ogni momento conta, ogni parola, ogni decisione, ogni azione o inazione. Troppe persone muoiono pieni di rimpianto. Non essere uno di loro.
 Setiap saat menghitung, setiap kata, setiap keputusan, setiap tindakan, atau tidak bertindak. Terlalu banyak orang mati dipenuhi dengan penyesalan. Jangan menjadi salah satu dari mereka.
