everybody has strenghts and weaknesses but if you stand alone, sooner or later people will prey on your weaknesses. standing besides your brothers and sisters with understanding and you can cover each others weaknesses, drawing on each others strengths.
May Allah forgive us all! Ameen.

This is coupled with refraining from sins within your control due to the realization that Allah is watching you.
If we genuinely acknowledge our shortcomings to Allah and work to please Him, it is guaranteed that He will fulfill all of our lawful needs.
Subhan Allah so true.

Subhan Allah. Oh Allah Have mercy on us when we stand humble on the Day of Judgement. Ameen!

I would conclude that someone came before me and stacked them up in that matter. The fact that there were no footprints left in the sand would not be proof that I was wrong and that the bricks instead became stacked by the random crashing of the waves on the shoreline. Rather I would conclude that these waves erased the footprints of the person who stacked the bricks while leaving the bricks standing. How much more intricate is the design of life systems that are evidence of a Creator?

A wise boy who was standing next to him asked him: “My dear uncle, why do you keep on helping the scorpion when it stings you every time?” to which he replied: “I only know how to help, and it only knows how to sting.”
The young boy smiled and held out a twig to the scorpion. It gripped on to it and reached the shore safely. “You see, my dear uncle, never let the sting of the scorpion change the goodness in you. Don’t be a goody gumdrops and trust everyone. Do good, but do it smartly.”
Ultimately, we can try our best as believers to advise and counsel, but really, we must understand that we do not choose who stays or leaves this beautiful religion as all is in the hands of Allah SWT. And Allah SWT is All-Wise, All-Knowing.
I think the most common reason why people distance themselves from Islam is because people portray it as harsh, etc. Showing only the punishment side..
But this is wrong.. As a child they need to know about the Love and Mercy of Allah, etc. Not punishments and Dajjal etc.. That is traumatising for a youngster.
''This dunja (world), my brother, is a test. And everything we have in this life, including the life itself, the air we breath, the clothes we wear, the water we use to wash our body and to drink, the food we eat, the computer I use to type this very message to you, is a gift from Allah Subhaanahu wa ta'ala'' (Ruqaya Vanh)
