Try as much as you can to do these things

✓ Remember that you can never have too many friends, but you can have few quality friends that help you fulfill the purpose of your creation (i.e. live for Allah).

✓ When you’re happy, try to share your happiness with others. Thank Allah for that, and pray its continuation.

✓ When something bad or embarrassing happens to you, just think that it could always be worse, remember the reward of patience,and thank Allah that it’s not worse than it is.

✓ Do something extra of goodness once in a while, like feeding a poor person, or caressing an orphan’s head.

✓ Never stop believing that you can win Allah’s love and thus work For it. Then you can win the love of Allah’s slaves.

✓ Spend  some time thinking of Allah’s amazing creation.

✓ Find the righteous ways to express yourself, and if you think that what you are about to say shall cause no benefit, maintain silence (this is tough!!).

✓ When people criticize your actions and effort, revise your actions and see if they please Allah or no. If they do; then ignore and remember how the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam) and the Sahaba were criticized, made fun of and even physically harmed, so have patience.

✓ Read the Quran daily and try to understand the meaning of the verses and have a schedule for completing it as much as you could. As you open the Quran daily, read with observing not just passing your eyes through the words.

✓ Don’t let popularity go to your head, for it never lasts and you may lose from it more than gain.
