Lesson # 1 Stay Away from Jealousy
Jealousy is something which is highly condemned in the Qur’an. Ayah 128 of Surah
Nisa says;
“…But people are prone to selfish greed. If you do good and have faith, Allah is
aware of what you do.
Moreover, another Ayah of Surah An-Nisa also states;
“And do not crave what Allah has given some of you over others. Men will be
rewarded according to their deeds and women ‘equally’ according to theirs. Rather,
ask Allah for His bounties. Surely Allah has ‘perfect’ knowledge of all things. [4:32]
Lesson # 2 Focus on Yourself and Be Productive

It is believed that most of the religions usually encourage conformity of thought but
in reality, majority of the religions usually encourage the human reason and help to
incite what humans really believe. Allah tells every Muslim to focus on being
abounding and emphasize on being a productive Muslim.
Qur’an says;
“Verily! The worst of (moving) living creatures with Allah are the deaf and dumb,
those who understand not (i.e., the disbelievers).
Lesson # 3 Avoid Anger and Exasperation:

Ayah 134 of Surah Al’Imran reads: “Those who spend [in Allah’s Cause—deeds of
charity, alms, etc.] in prosperity and in adversity, who repress anger, and who pardon
men; verily, Allah loves the good-doers.” [3:134]
This verse clarifies that you can use your anger for constructiveness as well as
destructiveness. We can convert our anger into something productive by using it to
help someone or comfort others in need.

Allah has given us numerous examples in the Qur’an regarding the Prophets who
chose kindness over anger.
“Prophet Ibrahim’s (PBUH) father said to him: “I will surely stone you, so avoid me
a prolonged time.” [Surat Maryam: 46) He (PBUH) responded: “Peace be upon
you.” [Surat Maryam: 47].
This clarifies that responding to anger with kindness should be one’s priority.
Lesson # 4 Be Kind and Promote Justice:

There are two options whenever someone hurts you. Either take revenge, do
whatever they did and gossip or stay positive and show civility and kindness.
According to Qur’an Muslims are told to choose kindness and be kind to everyone
not a specific group of people. The Qur’an says;
“Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents DO GOOD, and to
relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away, the
companion at your side, the traveler, AND THOSE WHOM YOUR RIGHT
HANDS POSSESS. Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and
boastful.” [4:36]
Lesson # 5 Avoid Idle Talk and Gossips:

Gossip is an ultimate raiser of division and majority of the people make themselves
feel better by exploiting and portraying others as bad people to make themselves
seem good. However, Allah and His Prophet (SAW) greatly discouraged idle talk
and gossip.
The Qur’an is pretty clear on this;
“Don’t sow division, but instead, say what is good and true. That is the path to a
good life.”

Lesson # 6 Always be Grateful:
Ayah 7of Surah Ibrahim guides the Muslim Ummah to be grateful and thankful in
every situation. Gratitude and being grateful is the essence of Islam and is also the
main aspect for the attraction of affluence, tranquility, abundance and success in
one’s life.
Allah tells us to be grateful in Ayah 145of Surah Al’Imran as well;
…“And whoever desires the reward of this world We will give him thereof, and –
whoever desires the reward of the Hereafter – We will give him thereof. And We
will reward the grateful” [3:145]
Lesson # 7 Ten Quranic Commandments:

According to the Quranic Ayah 4:5 every Muslim is told to “Speak in a civilized
manner in a language that is recognized by the society and is commonly used”.
The ten Quranic Commandments teaches us the mannerism and ways to

communicate with fellow beings. The best way is to speak politely and keep your
voice low [31:19], avoid deceitful and ostentatious words [22:30] and talk straight
without any ambiguity or deception [33:70].

Lesson # 8 Always Speak the Truth:
The Ayah 6:152 from Surah An’am, “La Nu-kalifu nafsan illah wus-a-ha”,
translates, “When you speak, be just, even though it concerns a near of kin” clearly
states that Qur’an guides Muslims to speak the truth in every circumstance for the
betterment of worldly life and life after death.
Moreover, Allah says; “Guarantee for me six things and I will guarantee Paradise
for you: tell the truth when you speak, fulfill your promises, be faithful when you
are trusted, safeguard your private parts, lower your gaze, and withhold your hands
(from harming others).”
LESSON # 9 How to recruit people?

Prophet Moses (A.S) escapes from ruthless kingdom of Pharaoh and reaches
Madyan where he happens to meet another Prophet Shoaib (A.S) after helping his
daughter who were being deprived of saturating their animals by big guns of the
town. While Moses (A.S) was living with Shoaib (A.S), the eldest daughter
recommends to her father to appoint Prophet Moses (A.S) Head Shepherd for their
cattle.
َْ
ُ ‫ٱْلم‬ َ ْ َ َ َ ْ َ ْ َ َّ ُ َ ْ َ َ ٰٓ َ ُ ٰ َ ْ ْ َ َ
‫ي‬ ْ ِ ‫قالت ِإحدىه َما ي ٰـأب ِت ٱست ْٔـ ِج ْره ۖ ِإن خ ْ َي م ِن ٱست ْٔـج ْرت ٱلق ِوى‬
One of the women said, “O my father, hire him. Indeed, the best one you can hire is
the strong and the trustworthy.” Quran [28/26]
Prophet Shoaib (A.S) was bit surprised and asked his daughter as to why he was
being recommended for that job. She cites two qualities of Moses (A.S) for
recruitment: 1) He is strong. 2) He has integrity (Qavi-ul-Amin). He was technically
sound and was man of character. The Holy Quran documented this important
recruitment principal for eternity. So, according to the book recruiters should look
for two traits in new employees, that is skill-set and integrity/honesty.

Lesson # 10 Conflict Resolution
ْ َّ َ َ ِّ ْ َّ َ ْ َ ُ ْ َ
‫اس ِبٱل َحق َوَل تت ِب ِع ٱل َه َو ٰى‬
ِ ‫فٱحكم ب ْي ٱلن‬
“So, judge between the people in truth and do not follow [your own] desire”
Quran [38/26]
Conflicts are the part and parcel of daily corporate life. The only place without
conflicts is graveyard. Conflicts are in a way a healthy thing provided people are
fighting for the bottom line of the company. Personalized conflicts paralyze the
company and dissipate creative energies in aimless and useless fights. The things
have to be controlled when you see corporate warlords entrenched in their bunkers
and shooting missiles loaded with personal agendas. Here the role of boss is critical,
crucial and pivotal. He has to liberate the organization from personal agendas of
vested interests. He/she has to quickly resolve the conflict according to established
SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) of the company. The entire process of
conflict resolution has to be mechanical, detached from personal biases and emotions
and feelings. The following verse guides clearly that personal desire should not
interfere the conflict resolution process.
Lesson # 11 Benefits of Networking

Quran categorically rejects life of monasteries and living in silos. It advises its
followers to come out of their homes and spread in the universe and see the signs of
Allah. It encourages building community centers and meeting people so that they
help each other’s and lay the foundations of peaceful and stable societies.
‫فَ ۡاد ُخ ِل ۡى فِ ۡى ِع ٰبدِى َو ۡاد ُخ ِل ۡى َجنَّ ِتى‬
So, enter among My (righteous) servants and enter My Paradise. ]Quran89/29,30 ”
In verses 29 & 30 of Surah 89, Allah clearly orders the followers to socialize and
network with His pious people if you have to enjoy the fruits of prosperity, peace

and abundance. Networking is one of the surest ways of climbing the corporate
ladders and getting businesses that results in prosperity and abundance.
Modern day management gurus say that your network equals your net-worth. If your
network is small, your net-worth is also small. How it all works? The successful
people in your network give you inspiration and motivation to stretch yourself and
smash the comfort traps of mediocrity. You are an average of your network. Stronger
the network, bigger the average. Simple. It is the power of my online network that
helped me raise more than Rs. 200,000 for needy people with just two simple
Facebook status updates in last 3 weeks. Except one, I have never met any of the
donors in life.
Lesson # 12 Consider Problem an Opportunity:

Quranic Ayah 2:155 of Surah Baqarah states “Verily, We shall put you to test with
some fear, and hunger, and with some loss of wealth, lives, and offspring. And
convey good tidings to those who are patient, who say, when inflicted by hardship,
‘Verily we are of God and verily to Him shall we return;’ upon them is the blessings
of Allah and His mercy.”
This Ayah reminds us of the trial we face which provides us an opportunity to grow.
Every human being faces a trial in life at one point or the other, therefore Allah told
us to pray, stay patient and wait for the right time to come.
َ‫ص ٰـ ِب ِرين‬ ِ ‫ص ِمنَ ْٱْل َ ْم ٰ َو ِل َو ْٱْلَنفُ ِس َوٱلث َّ َم ٰ َر‬

َّ ‫ت ۗ َوبَش ِِر ٱل‬ ٍۢ ‫ف َو ْٱل ُجوعِ َونَ ْق‬
ِ ‫ى ٍۢء ِمنَ ْٱلخ َْو‬ َ ِ‫َولَنَ ْبلُ َونَّكُم ب‬
ْ ‫ش‬
“And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth
and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient,” Quran [2/155]

Lesson # 13 Seek Help through Patience and Prayer:
Ayah 2:45 of the initial Surahs, Surah Baqarah, in the Holy Qur’an states; “And
seek help through patience and prayer and indeed, it is difficult except for the
humbly submissive [to Allah].”
Whenever Allah tests his people, he washes off the sins. Allah clearly states that
Muslims should seek help through patience and prayer and Allah will eventually
relieve the hardships. Qur’an tells us to stay calm during the difficult times and
train ourselves to stay patient instead of breaking down and losing temper.
Lesson # 14 THE FUNDAMENTAL ARTICLES OF IMAN (FAITH)

To believe in:
1. Allah
2. His Angels
3. His revealed Books
4. His Messengers
5. The Day of Resurrection
6. AI-Qadr; Whatever Allah has ordained must come to
pass (In other words, fate and destiny).
Lesson # 15 SLAUGHTERING FOR OTHER THAN ALLAH

Allah the Exalted said: "Say: Verily my prayer. my sacrifice, my living, and my
dying are for Allah, the Lord of the worlds. He has no partner. And of this I have
been commanded, and I am the first of the Muslim." (Ch.6: V162-163)
"Therefore, turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only)". (Ch.108:V2)

Ali bin Abi Talib said "Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) informed me about
four Judgments (of Allah):
1. Allah's curse is upon the one who slaughters (devoting his sacrifice)
anything other than to Allah;
2. Allah's curse is upon the one who curses his own parents;
3. Allah's curse is upon the one who shelters heretic (who has brought a Bid'ah
in religion);
4. Allah's curse is upon the one who alters the landmarks (who changes
boundary lines)."
Lesson # 16 TO VOW OTHER THAN ALLAH IS AN ACT OF SHIRK

Allah the Most Exalted said: ''They (are those who) fulfill (their) vows, and they
fear a Day whose evil will be Widespread."(Ch.76: V7)
"And whatever you spend for Charity (for Allah1s cause) or whatever vow you
make, be sure Allah knows it aiL" (Ch.2: V270)
Narrated 'Aisha (La.) that Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) said: "Whoever
vows that he will be obedient to Allah, he should be obedient to Him, and whoever
made a vow that he will disobey Allah, he should not disobey Him." (AI-Bukhari)
Lesson # 17 TO SEEK REFUGE FROM OTHER THAN ALLAH IS APART

OF SHIRK
Allah the Most Exalted said: llAnd verily, there were men among mankind who
took shelter with the male Jinns, but they (Jinns) increased them (mankind) in sin
and disbelief." (Ch.72: V.6)
Khawlah bint Hakim (Ra) said. I heard Allah's Messenger (pbuh) say: "Whoever
goes into a dwelling and says (while entering it): 'I seek refuge in Allah's perfect
10

words from the evil (of those creatures) which He created', no harm shall befall
him until he departs from that place.!! (Reported by Muslim)
Lesson # 18 Importance of knowledge & application:

The Qur’an (first juz) starts with a dua – a refuge from being in a category of َ‫الضَّالِین‬
(those who are lost and astray) or maghdoobi alaeehim ‫علَ ْی ِه ْم‬ َ ‫ب‬ ُ ‫( ْال َم ْغ‬those who
ِ ‫ضو‬
have evoked Allaah’s anger which is even worse) but rather seeking to join the –
َ َ‫ أ َ ْن َعمْت‬ranks of (those upon whom Allah bestowed favor an’amta alaeehim). –
‫علَ ْی ِه ْم‬
Those who were blessed by Allaah because of their knowledge of deen and
application of that knowledge in life
Lesson # 19 Believing the unseen:

O Allah! Though I can’t see You yet I believe in You as if I can look at You with
eyes of my heart! When everything (including myself) feels absolutely cold, I feel
the warmth of Your mercy. I find You alert whenever I find myself drifting off the
track. I believe in Your creation that’s hidden from my sight and Your books I never
read, Your prophets I never met and the day of recompense that is yet to come…
I long to see and reside in the abode that You created for us with all the love. I long
for Your single glimpse with my eyes wide open when in shaa Allaah I’ll get the
chance to meet my prophet and You in Jannah.
Lesson # 20 How to unlock a sealed heart

By doing more good deeds and making lots of dua, one can shed off the darkness
that engulfed the heart as this hadith describes the process of how a heart is sealed
gradually…
Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬said:
“When the believer commits sin, a black spot appears on his heart. If he repents and
gives up that sin and seeks forgiveness, his heart will be polished. But if (the sin)
increases, (the black spot) increases. That is the Ran that Allah mentions in His
11

Book: “Nay! But on their hearts is the Ran (covering of sins and evil deeds) which
they used to earn.” [Ibn Majah]
Lesson # 21 Self-progression
By efforts of removing hypocrisy from our lifestyle and not confirming to double
standards. In short, acting upon what we preach/teach – either to kids or to adults.
Lesson # 22 Sweetness of eemaan

In this lesson, we explored the story of a famous poet – Tufail bin Amr (RA) who
tasted the sweetness of eemaan after opening his heart for truth and being confident
of what he achieved after realizing his mistake of believing the propaganda of
Quraish. It shows how we have perfect abilities to recognize the truth and benefit
from the reminders.
Lesson # 23 Guidance is for the seeker

The words of Creator have been the same all along, but the effects on creation have
been entirely individual. What makes some see so much beauty in what others see
ugliness? I think the answer lies in our hearts. A pure heart breathes pure life. Pure
words. It sees the blooming rose instead of thorns. It highlights a growing flower
beside a volcano. It wants to see beauty and hence it is visible. Beauty of guidance
is truly for the seeker.
Lesson # 24 Purpose of brain

Allah could’ve given us brains like that of animals – who can function in the world
normally too. They survive fine by eating, sleeping and playing. But we were created
with a higher purpose hence higher strengths. And eventually, a higher number of
tests. Previously, we saw how a change of heart can yield different results in different
individuals. Same goes with the brain, soul, body, time, free will…we all have all of
these but how we use it makes a huge difference.
12

Lesson # 25 Applying what we preach
َ ُ‫س ْونَ أَنف‬
‫سكُ ْم‬ َ َّ‫– أَت َأ ْ ُم ُرونَ الن‬
َ ‫اس ِب ْالبِ ِر َوتَ ْن‬
Do you order righteousness of the people and forget yourselves…? – We as parents
and sometimes as elders who have more knowledge, command kids/younger siblings
etc. over righteousness and yet, fail to apply it in our daily lives.
The most common example being – LIES!
“NEVER LIE” we order. “BE NICE to your little ones”. “No screen time”. “DON’T
CONSUME cold drinks and junk etc.” The list of double standards stacks up in no
time. So, ordering righteousness is not simply limited to something praying/fasting-
related only. It has a wider meaning – teaching with your actions as well and not just
empty words.
Lesson # 26 Intercession is ONLY with the permission of Allah

It doesn’t work like this – Do as you like, disobey Allah, and then ask those who are
closest to Him to make du’a, expecting to get all the wishes fulfilled on behalf of
someone else’s good deeds. None can save you except Allah and your own good
deeds simply make your path to salvation easy.
Lesson # 27 Following the commandments as they are – ‫فافعلوا ما تؤمرون‬

The Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬delivered a Khutbah and said, “…when I order you to
do something, do it as far as you can; and when I forbid you from doing anything,
eschew it.” [Muslim]
Lesson # 28 Ihsaan is Ahsan (Ihsaan is better)

Allah demands Ihsan from us, especifically for our parents, close relatives, orphans
and the needy. Then everyone in general – “…And speak to people good …” –
ِ َّ‫َوقُولُواْ ِللن‬
‫اس ُحسْنا‬
Ihsan comprises of four main components:
1: Sincerity (Ikhlas – for the sake of Allah).
2: Completeness (doing things complete).
3: Tastefulness (doing things in the best manner possible – the best way you can do
it).
13

4: Correctness (doing things the right way – according to Quran and sunnah).
Lesson # 29 Importance of gratitude

When you see someone and feel that your life is not enough, find a tiny little thing
to be grateful for. Find positivity amidst negativity and you will see abundance in
your life. If you need to make gratitude an informed daily choice in your life, you
can start by keeping a gratitude journal/Alhamdulillah journal.
Lesson # 30 Belief in destiny

“…Strive for that which will benefit you, seek the help of Allah, and do not feel
helpless. If anything befalls you, do not say, “if only I had done such and such”
َّ ‫ – قَد ََّر‬Allah has decreed
rather say “Qaddara Allahu wa ma sha’a fa’ala (‫َّللاُ َو َما شَا َء فَ َع َل‬
and whatever he wills, He does).” For (saying) ‘If’ opens (the door) to the deeds of
Satan.” [Ibn Majah]
“…Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. Recognize and
acknowledge Allah in times of ease and prosperity, and He will remember you in
times of adversity. And know that what has passed you by was not going to befall
you, and what has befallen you was not going to pass you by. And know that victory
comes with patience, relief with affliction, and hardship with ease…” [Tirmidhi]
Lesson # 31 Complete submission to Allah

ِ ‫ – ِإذ قا َل لَهُ َربُّهُ أَس ِلم ۖ قا َل أَسلَمتُ ِل َر‬No commandment or trial was hard enough to
َ‫ب العالَمین‬
weaken Ibrahim (AS)’s faith in Allah. He obeyed his Rabb without questioning or
complaining, due to which he was given the title of ‫( خلیل هللا‬Friend of Allah).
Lesson # 32 Manifestation of religion inside out

“The sibghah of Allah” – Ibn ‘Abbaas said in the narration of al-Kalbi, as did
Qataadah and al-Hasan: the deen (religion) of Allah, and it is only called sibghah
because the effects of the religion manifestly appear on one who adheres to the
religion just as the effects of the dyes manifestly appear on the clothing.
Lesson # 33 Regular repentance

Set a rule to make Astaghfaar your habit… Allah loves a consistent deed – be it
small.
14

Lesson # 34 Remembrance of Tawhid (the Oneness of God)
“There is no group that remembers Allah, except that the angels encompass them,
mercy covers them, and tranquility descends upon them: and Allah remembers
(mentions) them before those who are with Him.”
Jami at-Tirmidhi: Vol. 6, Book 45, Hadith 3378
The remembrance of God, or Tawhid (the Oneness of God), is arguably one of the
most central aspects of being Muslim. By understanding the true Oneness of God,
one will find that every aspect of living a fulfilling and engaging Islamic life will
come naturally and easily. The Prophet Mohammad taught us that to remember
Allah is both rewarding and necessary, and is one of the most beautiful acts of being
Muslim.
Lesson # 35 Actively engaging with the Holy Quran

“When matters become obscure for you like the darkness of the night, then turn to
the Quran, for it is the mediating intercessor and the trustworthy deviser. Whoever
puts it in front of them, it will lead them to Heaven, and whoever puts it behind them,
it may take him to Hell.”
Kenzul Ummal: Hadith 4027
The Holy Quran remains our main and undisputable source of truth and knowledge
in Islam. The Prophet Mohammad reminds us that the Quran will always be the light
of truth in our many disputes and that by remembering and actively engaging with
the Quran we will ultimately be rightly guided.
Lesson # 36 Remaining humble

“Blessed be he who humbles himself before Allah without having any deficiency,
and who humiliates himself without poverty.”
Tanbih al-Khawatir: Vol. 2, pg. 66
The Holy Prophet was the pinnacle of humbleness and humility, and the number of
stories about his conduct with not only his family and companions but his enemies
as well remains an important lesson to us all. Teaching us the beauty of humbleness
15

and the importance of humility, the Prophet Mohammad’s lessons on humbleness
help guide us back to the true essence of Islam.
Lesson # 37 Giving charity

“Give charity without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity.”
Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 589
The giving of charity, whether it be through the giving of food and material goods
or through by being kind to others, is one of the most important lessons from the
Holy Prophet. The act of selflessness, and the act of giving to others in whatever
capacity available to you, is a key aspect of being a practicing Muslim, something
we can all learn from the personal actions of the Holy Prophet himself.
Lesson # 38 The importance of being just

“There is a Sadaqa to be given for every joint of the human body, and for every day
on which the sun rises there is a reward of a Sadaqa (charitable gift) for the one who
establishes justice among people.”
Sahih Bukhari: Vol. 3, Book 49, Hadith 870
Not only should we be kind and thoughtful to those around us, but we need to also
be just and fair to everyone we come across in life. The Holy Prophet taught us that
no matter who you come across, whether they be friend or foe, you must treat them
as you would want them to treat you. This, according to the Prophet, is a powerful
act of charity.
Lesson # 39 Not having anger in your heart

“When one of you becomes angry while standing, he should sit down. If the anger
leaves him, well and good; otherwise, he should lie down.”
Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 42, Hadith 4765
16

The Holy Prophet remains the pinnacle of the best of human traits and qualities, and
of those traits was his control over his temper. Removing anger from oneself is one
of the most important aspects of being a practicing Muslim. By learning how to deal
with any problem through Islamic values, one can help remove unhealthy anger and
the consequences that stem from angry reactions.
Lesson # 40 Remaining healthy both physically and mentally

“Don’t indulge in over-eating because it would quench the light of faith within your
hearts.”
Al-Mustadrak, volume 3, p81
If we indulge ourselves too much in the physical and mental distractions of this
world, we create less time to connect to Allah. The Holy Prophet reminded his
followers to cut back on over-eating and over-indulging oneself simply for pleasure
and to instead focus on bettering our physical and mental health to help give our full
potential to Allah.
Lesson # 41 Learning to think carefully before you speak

“Whenever he wishes to speak, he contemplates: if what he wants to say is good, he
says it and benefits as a result, and if it is bad, then he keeps quiet and remains safe
as a result. When a temptation arises before him, he holds fast to Allah and guards
his hand and his tongue: if he sees virtue in it, he seizes it, neither losing his modesty
thereat nor displaying any greed.”
Tuhaf Al-Uqool: pg. 28
Following in the footsteps of the Holy Prophet, by learning how to think before
speaking one can control their emotions better, and become more aware of how to
properly react and deal with day-to-day situations. The Holy Prophet teaches us that
17

while there is an importance to speaking out against injustices, in many cases there
can also be a time for remaining silent in order to make a point.
Lesson # 42 Actively learning and engaging with knowledge

“One hour of contemplation is superior to an entire year’s worship.”
Tadhkerah al-Haqaiq, Page 29
The Holy Prophet emphasized the importance of thinking and believing, and not
only blinding following the mechanics or physical aspects of the religion. To simply
think and believe is an act of worship, and through contemplation, we may bring
ourselves closer to Allah as well.
Lesson # 43 Sexual Harassment at Work Place

Sexual harassment is a common problem at work places. The story of Prophet
Yusuf/Joseph (AS), is “the best of stories.
Yusuf has the potential to play bigger role in life and he shares his vision/dream with
his father. Brothers are jealous of his potential. They throw him in well. By divine
scheme, he is brought to city and gets a chance to serve at the king’s house. He is
charismatic; the wife of king has lusty thoughts towards him.
She persuades him to have relations with her and he seeks refuge of Allah and refuses
and runs away. She is running after him and the king sees both of them in this
situation.
The First Lady accuses him of rape attempt but Prophet of Allah says: “It was she
who sought to seduce me.” (12/26). Both of them are given chance to explain the
situation. Yusuf is successful to prove his innocence.
Sexual harassment always emanates from position of authority. It flows down from
stronger to weaker. Verse 23 of Surah 12 says: “And she, in whose house he was,
18

sought to seduce him”. The lady had power over the servant. She misused her power
and initiated the harassment. The stereotypical thinking is that men normally initiate
the harassment. It’s not true. It is the stronger position that initiates sexual
harassment; it can come from a man or a lady.
There are three lessons that I will derive from sexual harassment saga of Prophet and
the queen:
1) Always look what nuisance value the sexual harasser has over the victim to
investigate. Power to terminate? Power to blackmail? Power to hurt?
2) The victim must seek refuge of Allah immediately.
3) Victim must run away from privacy. This is the Prophetic way.
Lesson # 44 Every Problem is an Opportunity

In Quran 2: 155, we find this bit of wisdom: “Verily, We shall put you to test with
some fear, and hunger, and with some loss of wealth, lives, and offspring. And
convey good tidings to those who are patient, who say, when inflicted by hardship,
‘Verily we are of God and verily to Him shall we return;’ upon them is the blessings
of Allah and His mercy.”
These words remind us that our trials are opportunities to grow. Everyone
experiences a time of testing at some point in their lives—some more than others.
No one is exempt from this. But the answer to hardship doesn’t lie in wishful
thinking, in desiring a life of no difficulty. The answer lies in how we respond to
that difficulty when it arises.
When we respond to hardship with positivity and resilience, knowing that it is

temporary, we reap rewards later. Those rewards may come in the form of intangible
19

wisdom and life experience, or in tangible goods, but they always come to those who
are patient in adversity.
Lesson # 45 Don’t Give in to Gossip

Quran 17:53 says “Say to My servants that they should only say those things that are
best, for Satan does sow dissensions among them, for Satan is to man an avowed
enemy.”
Gossip is the ultimate Sower of division. Too often, we’re tempted to make ourselves
look better by putting others down. This might give us a temporary ego-boost, or a
small crowd of admirers, but these benefits are always short-lived.
Eventually, most gossipers find themselves alienated—after all, if someone talks

badly about one person, won’t they talk badly about another? With time, these
gossipers find themselves lonely, distrusted, and disliked.
Victims of gossip often feel hurt, misunderstood, and betrayed—is that really the
legacy you want to leave? Or would you rather use your words to unify and uplift?
The Quran is clear on this: don’t sow division, but instead, say what is good and true.
That is the path to a good life.
Lesson # 46 Be Kind to Others

Quran 16:91 reads “Indeed, Allah enjoins justice, and the doing of good to others;
and giving like kindred; and forbids indecency, and manifest evil, and wrongful
transgression. He admonished you that you may take heed.”
When someone hurts or annoys you, or when they’re simply not useful to you, you’re
presented with a choice. You can go negative, taking revenge, bullying, or ignoring
them, or you can go positive, showing kindness and civility.
According to the Quran, you should choose kindness.
20

This verse doesn’t say do good for a certain group—it says do good for others,
period.
There’s good reason for this. When you’re kind, you stop cycles of unkindness,
wherein you’re unkind to someone, and they treat you, or others, the same. And not
only this, but you multiply goodness—people are much more likely to pay forward
acts of kindness, despite the fact that those acts are rare.
The Quran contains much wisdom on how to live well, but this is some of the most
important of what it has to say. Avoid injustice and unkindness, and your life will
be changed for the better.
Lesson # 47 Choose Your Best Words When You Speak

The same verses that cover gossip in Quran 17:53 also address a larger topic: when
you speak, you should take the time to choose the best words possible.
Most of us simply speak without thinking. We know what we want to convey, and
we come up with a few words to make it happen. Usually, we do this as quickly as
possible.
But when words can cost you your dream job during an interview, or your true love
during a date, they’re worth thinking deeply about. Words have impact. They can
persuade and uplift, or they can manipulate and destroy. And when you use what can
be such a powerful weapon without thought, you can wreak untold damage and lose
out on some valuable opportunities.
They can change the course of lives.
So don’t get caught in the habit of using words carelessly. As Quran 17:53 says, let
all of your words be your best words. If you do, you’ll find nearly every aspect of
your life transformed.
21

Lesson # 48 Use Your Anger to Create, Not Destroy
Quran 3:134 reads: “Those who spend [in Allah’s Cause—deeds of charity, alms,
etc.] in prosperity and in adversity, who repress anger, and who pardon men; verily,
Allah loves the good-doers.”
These verses remind us of a very important ability we humans have: when we’re
angry, we can use that anger for something constructive rather than for destructive
ends. We can transform our rage into creative energy, using it to become a source of
comfort and help to others.
Think about it. Anger is a motivating force that helps us respond to adverse
situations. When we feel this intense emotion, we know that something needs to
change.
It’s how we go about creating that change that makes a difference.
Rather than resorting to destructive behavior, such as violence, bullying, or insults,

why not go constructive, and use your anger to motivate you toward more benevolent
ends?
For example, if you’re angry about the current political situation, you can choose to
either unleash your anger in the form of insults toward those you disagree with, or
you can channel it into positive political activism in order to improve what you feel
is broken. The Quran reminds us that our anger has power if we take the time to
control it and direct it toward better ends.
Lesson # 49 Be Mindful of Time

Quran 103:1-3 reads “By time, surely man is in loss, save those who believe and do
good deeds, and enjoin on each other truth, and enjoin on each other patience.”
If you could read the Quran and take with you only one bit of wisdom when you put
it down, it would be this. The question of how to use our time in the best way possible
22

is the subject of countless self-help books, seminars, and speeches, but these verses
succinctly give us the answer.
Our best use of time lies in leaving the world a better place than we found it.
We should use our time to do good deeds, such as charity work. We should be
truthful with one another. We should be patient—slow to become angry, and quick
to forgive so that cycles of violence and abuse stop with us.
If you’ve ever wondered how, you should spend your time, you now have your
answer. Use it to love your fellow man.
Lesson # 50 Think For Yourself

Quran 8:22 highlights those who don’t think for themselves, saying, “Truly, the
worst of all creatures in the sight of Allah are the deaf, the dumb, those who do not
use their reason.”
This may come as a surprise to those who feel that religious texts encourage
conformity of thought, but in reality, many religions embrace human reason, pushing
their adherents to try to truly understand why they believe what they believe.
It was Socrates, the Ancient Greek philosopher, who famously echoed this thought
when he proclaimed that “The unexamined life is not worth living.” And it’s true—
a life without thought, intention, or reflection is wasted. Without taking the time to
self-reflect, we simply blow about on the breeze, not really living.
Instead, pause your busy life for a moment and think about why you do the things
you do. Are you intentionally going after the things that make you happy, as well as
things which improve the world around you?
If you’re not, think on these verses. It may just change your life.
23

Lesson # 51 Being kind to your neighbors
“Anyone who believes in God and the day of judgment should not harm his neighbor.
Anyone who believes in God and the day of judgment should entertain his guest
generously and should say what is good, or keep quiet.”
Sahih Bukhari: Vol. 8, book 73, no. 47
The Holy Prophet taught us that by being kind to your neighbors you are also helping
build a better Islamic community as well, and that kindness to those around you,
whether they be neighbors or strangers, will help build a better relationship between
you and Allah.
Lesson # 52 Holy Wisdom

The Quran is a fantastic source of life-changing wisdom that you don’t want to miss
out on, no matter what your beliefs might be. It touches on a wide variety of topics—
far more than we’ve mentioned here—and may contain just the knowledge you’ve
been looking for.
Give this holy text a try, and you might just be surprised at what you find.
