Answer

May Allah bless you with piety (Taqwa) and purity, strong Imaan, forgiveness of sins, have mercy on you, elevate your status, and bless you with knowledge of Deen and generosity. Ameen!

Every tear of a believer is precious in the court of Allah. Allah looks at the sincerity of our hearts and our actions. People cannot give respect or honor -- only Allah can grant peace, love, contentment of heart, a blessed life in this world and in Jannah for true believers. Allah loves us more than seventy mothers do. Difficulties and trials can become a means of raising our status and earn countless reward. Even our blessed Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and his family and daughters went through hardships and trials.

The entire creation is helpless. No one has power to do good to you or to harm you. Only Allah knows what is good and what is bad for you.

Look up to Allah, Who looks after you. Keep facing Allah, Who is in front of you. Love Allah, Who loves you. Obey Allah, Who invites you. Give your hand to Allah, Who saves you from a fall'Loving hearts, spiritual contentment, forgiveness and mercy, are all from Allah.

He is Eternal, All Powerful, Absolutely Just, Totally Merciful, All Loving, All Compassionate, All Gracious and All Forgiving.

This life is all about controlling desires and protecting from the traps of innerself and the Devil. This is a temporary life where desires and feeling may not be fulfilled completely. For a Muslim, the place for enjoyment and desires is Paradise ' with rivers of
milk and honey, palaces of gold and silver, delicious food and fruits, beautiful spouse, always happy, always young, always healthy ' a great kingdom for ever and ever for an unending enjoyment and bliss.

This life is a one-time opportunity to achieve everlasting happiness in the life hereafter. Allah Almighty is showering countless blessings upon us every day. Every moment has a great potential to achieve high-ranks in the court of our Creator. Every minute is like a gold coin. The heart and tongue are gifts from Allah to earn millions of rewards for the life Hereafter.
