Your Attitude
No one can say it better than Allah said “Those who spend in the cause of Allah in prosperity and adversity and those who suppress anger and pardon the offences of the people. Allah loves such doers of good to others.” (Quran Al I Imran, 3:134)
Your Attitude is Everything
It is probably one of the truest cliches in Life
How important is your attitude at every moment of your lives
It is so paramount to live in obedience to Allah
It is the attitude you carry along with all of your actions
It only takes a second to affect a person in a bad or good way
This may very well depend not on your actions or deeds
But simply upon the attitude you have
It is simply your attitudes that can influence someone or inspire someone to seek Islam
You need to be aware of your attitude
If you are not carrying a positive attitude
Thus you will not be doing as good of a task for the sake of Allah
Why would you want to spread negative attitude?
Think about everything you do in the day
As Muslims, you have the added responsibility to show a positive attitude even in bad times
If you are not self-aware of the effect your attitude has on people and on your influence as a Muslim, “BEWARE”
BUT the power of your attitude behind all you do will determine in the end the true effect of your actions
Having a good attitude shows your concern for those around you before yourself
It shows your reverence for Allah and the strength of your character to hold a smile even when it may not be your day
Attitude directly affects your ability to serve Allah, among other very significant issues
The Quran further elaborates on attitude through specifics
To maintain a positive attitude in your life no matter what may be going on in good or bad situation
As Muslims, we should make gratitude our attitude
You should reflect on your attitude
Guard it in your heart to remember to have positive attitude for the sake of Allah
