Misconception about Sadaqa(charity)

Are you low on funds? So you think you will give sadaqa (charity) later on when you have more money? This thinking may be Shaytan trying to delay you from giving in charity! Whenever you give something for Allah, know that you will get it back:
"whatever thing you spend [in His cause] - He [Allah] will compensate it; and He is the best of providers” [see 34:39]
So know that whatever you give will come back to you, in'sha'Allah!

(a reminder to myself first and foremost, in'sha'Allah)
Allahu Akbar!

Respect for your parents (a form of worship)

Did you know it's super important to show respect for your parents? Even if they tell you to do something that is wrong, then you can disagree with them, but still show them respect. Whenever you interact with your parents, leave your ego at the door and make your interaction with your parents sincere. With the proper intentions and mindset, the way you deal with your parents and the time you spend with them can become a form of worship for you, in'sha'Allah! [not a hadith]

(a reminder to myself first and foremost, in'sha'Allah)

Allahu Akbar!
