MOTTO
N ever put off what you can do today until tomorrow.
I f we buy the cow definitely also get the rope,
but if we buy a rope we are not necessarily or probably not even
going to get a cow.
Don t be afraid because w e are not alone, as long as w e are always
loyal andobedient to Allah,so Allah also will never leaveus.
N o matter how busy we are, to worship Allah is number one
Allah s plans are much better.
W hatever we do must be intended only for Allah.
Sometimeswehad tobe very clever tochoosefriends, becausethe
religious friendswouldprovide a good influenceand vice versa.
W e livetodie, anddeath comesat any time, arewe ready?
Don t procrastinategoodness, because one minute that will come
