Everything in moderation. When both the soul and body are aligned then we can feel peace throughout. Don't look after the one and neglect the other. Usually we spend so long working on our outer appearance or our body that we neglect the soul. Or we become uber spiritual and fail to fulfil the rights of our body.
"You say that you are just a body, but inside of you is something greater than the Universe." Imam Shafi (rahimullah)

...Beauty is skin deep. We end up spending so much time in front of the mirror looking at the minor flaws and feeling insecure and making them so big in our minds eye that we can't see the good things. Today when you look into the mirror, look into your eyes and say, 'Alhamdulilah' - because it could be worse but its not! And remember You Are Beautiful - just the way you are! Work on your heart and soul and you inner beauty will shine on the out insha'Allah :)
...Cherish the gifts God bestows upon us. Everything is a gift - He gives and He can take - so appreciate everything. Family and friends - heart, body, soul, organs - life itself is a gift from our Rabb. As you lay to sleep, or wake up for the morning, or are working through early afternoon or relaxing in the evening - wherever you are in the world reading this - just stop, close your eyes, take a deep breath and say 'Alhamdulilah Ala Kulli Haal' - Thank You Allah for everything - for Allah asks us in Surah Rahman; 'Which Of Your Lords Favours Will You Deny?' Let's not deny our Rabb and His favours upon us and always have an attitude of gratitude! :) ♥

Some people don't do well simply because they don't feel well. Some people take better care of their pets than they do themselves. Their animals can run like the wind and they can barely make it up a flight of stairs. Make sure the outside of you is a good reflection of the inside of you. Treat your body like a temple, not a woodshed. The mind and body work together. Your body needs to be a good support system for the mind and spirit. If you take good care of it, your body can take you wherever you want to go, with the power and strength and energy and vitality you will need to get there. Take good care of your body. It's the only place you have to live. Sometimes we can be the most cruelest to ourselves.
We talk about ourselves in the most negative and degrading way. Imagine if you said all those things that you say to yourself to your loved one - how would they feel? I know, you wouldn't dare say that to them to hurt them! So why talk about yourself in such a way? That's not modestly or being humble - its being mean to yourself! "You say that you are just a body, but inside of you is something greater than the Universe." Imam Shafi (rahimullah) Learn to love and respect yourself - your soul and your body - and treat them well. They are an amanah - a trust from Allah and we will be accountable for them on the Day of Judgement. Remember if you don't love and respect yourself - no one else will! ☺ |
