Reaching Out to Others

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

ا سَـــــــلاَمُ عَلَيــْــكُم وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكـَـاتُه

When you are suffering, reach out in two ways. 

First, go to someone you can trust and tell him or her about your problems. There is value in sharing your pain. You may not want to burden someone else, 
but a true friend will be there for you, 
and will be happy to listen. 
There is a proverb: Happiness shared is happiness doubled; sadness shared is sadness halved.

A true friend would do anything in his power to help you.

Second, reach out to others who are in pain and comfort them. You may think you have nothing to offer, but you’d be surprised what a little bit of gentleness can do. A kind word and a pat on the shoulder can do wonders, and in the process you will experience a human moment, a connection, that will help you with your own problems as well. 

Don't forget to reach out to ALLAH when you need guidance. 
When you need understanding and peace. When you feel lonely and lost. 
When it feels like the whole world has turned up-side down. He is the only one that is trustworthy and that will never fail you. 
While people can be of comfort and help, nobody can substitute our relationship with ALLAH. 
It is the only relationship that matters.

Prophet Muhammad had said

(Bukhari, Muslim and Ahmad)

So tonight, let go of your grudges and sleep with a clean heart. 

Tomorrow the day is new, and life goes on. 

You have far to go and much to do. Look ahead, with a sunrise in your eyes.

Start the new day with ALLAH as your guide.

PS: Pray for your friends, your family and your Muslim brothers out there : )
