John Hopkins basketball coach was quoted saying,
“People often fail because they give up what they want most for what they want now.”
The challenge that a lot of us have, especially growing up in the US and the times we live in today where there’s a lot of connection and communication, is answer the question, “What’s the identity that we want to adapt?”
Knowing the answer will lead to self confidence needed to stand for something.
Knowing Your Enemy

The Muslim is required to be aware, and learn about the plots and tricks of his enemy. Allah (subhaanahu wa-ta’aalaa) says in the Qur’aan:
إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ فَاتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُوًّا إِنَّمَا يَدْعُو حِزْبَهُ لِيَكُونُوا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ
Surely, Shaytaan [Satan] is an enemy to you, so treat him as an enemy. He only invites his hizb [followers] that they may become the dwellers of the blazing Fire. (EMQ Faatir, 35:6) This verse clearly informs us of who our enemy is: Shaytaan (the devil). Allah (SWT) strictly orders us to treat our enemy as our enemy – not as a friend or ally. Consequently, it is not allowed for a believer to have any sympathy, love, affection, compassion or respect for his enemy. Allah (SWT) says:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ تُلْقُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ
O you who believe! Take not my enemies [the disbelievers] and your enemies as awliyaa’ [friends, allies, supporters, assistants etc.], showing affection towards them… (EMQ al-Mumtahanah, 60:1)
Commanding the good: knowing when and what to say

By: Shaykh Faraz A. Khan
Making the correct determination regarding when and how to intervene when something wrong or inappropriate occurs returns to the issue of enjoining the good and forbidding evil, which is a communal obligation (fard kifaya) and an essential duty in Islam. Based on the criteria outlined below, if the conditions of enjoining the good and forbidding evil are met, one must do so. Otherwise, one can be vague so as to avoid disputation of no benefit.

The Islamic standard of excellence in work and life

Shaykh Faraz Rabbani shares seven principles for making our work an act of worship. These are seven principles understood clearly from the Qur’an and Prophetic Sunna:
Knowing the difference between right & wrong is one thing, showing it in your actions is another.
Knowing the difference between right & wrong is one thing, showing it in your actions is another.
Saber la diferencia entre el bien y mal es una cosa, que muestra en sus acciones es otra.
Het kennen van het verschil tussen goed en kwaad is een ding, te laten zien in je acties is een ander.
Connaître la différence entre le bien et de mal est une chose, le montrant dans vos actions est une autre.
Die Kenntnis der Unterschied zwischen richtig und falsch ist eine Sache, zeigt es in Ihrer Aktionen ist eine andere.
知情權與錯誤之間的區別是一回事，它顯示在你的行動是另一回事。
Att veta skillnaden mellan rätt och fel är en sak, visar det i dina handlingar är en annan.
Зная разницу между правой и неправильно это одно, показывая его в своих действиях это совсем другое.
Doğru ve yanlış arasındaki farkı bilmek eylemlere bunu gösteren bir şey başka bir şeydir.
Conoscere la differenza tra giusto e sbagliato è una cosa, mostrando nelle vostre azioni è un altro.
Mengetahui perbedaan antara benar dan salah adalah satu hal, menunjukkan hal itu dalam tindakan Anda adalah hal lain.
