Take a moment to reflect

Things don’t have to be perfect—they never will be. That’s just life, and it’s important to accept this. Plans don’t always work out, and that’s okay.

It’s all about how you see things. While some may see challenges as obstacles, you have the power to see them as opportunities—to grow, to learn, to gain experience.

Remember, this world is temporary. Don’t cling to it as though you’ll live forever. We don’t even know what tomorrow holds. Yes, it’s wise to plan for the future, but don’t let it consume you. And the same goes for the past—don’t let it weigh you down. Holding onto it only causes pain.

Live in the present moment. Treasure every conversation with your loved ones. Savor that cup of tea—sip it as if it’s your first. Look around. Stare at the sky, the trees, the clouds. Feel the rain—can you smell it? Isn’t it incredible to see and feel all this?

Now imagine if you couldn’t see or smell it. How much more precious would it all seem? Stop rushing through life. Close your eyes for a moment and just feel. Let yourself notice the little things—those golden leaves falling from the trees. Winter is on its way. Did you even notice?

Being busy all the time is not a badge of honor. It’s okay to pause. In fact, you need to pause.

Worried about failing an exam? Let it go—those exams mean little compared to the one we’ll all face on the Day of Judgment.

Afraid of being fired from your job? Honestly, is it as terrifying as being “fired” on that day?

So take a breath. Spare some time for reflection. Whatever you’re going through, it will pass. Things will get better.

Take care of yourself—mind, body, and soul.

Rain smell - one of the best smells in the world. Alhamdulillah.

Be grateful for what you have

Sometimes, I overhear people complaining—on the bus, at University, or at work.

Let me remind you of something:

your problems might feel overwhelming, but they are nothing compared to what others are enduring.

• There are people living their last day without even knowing it.

• People drinking their last drop of water.

• People spending their last bit of money.

• People grieving the loss of a parent.

• People who just survived a car crash but lost their legs or arms.

And I could go on.

Now, think about the things we complain about—being stuck in traffic, not affording the latest clothes, or not getting the iPhone 16.

Do these really compare to the struggles I just mentioned?

Can you breathe?
Say, Alhamdulillah.

Can you see and read this post?
Say, Alhamdulillah.

Can you walk, talk, smile, smell, laugh, cry, touch?
Say, Alhamdulillah.

Your problems might feel big, but they’re often trivial in comparison to others’.

Take a moment to reflect. Think of solutions for your challenges, and move forward.

Allah has placed you in a situation that comes with a solution—if you seek it earnestly.

And above all, don’t forget to be grateful. May Allah bless you.

I've really missed 'Ramadan Vibes'. I believe this Ramadan will be different, InshaAllah.

How many days left until Ramadan anyway, guys?

Pray

When you’re happy, pray.
When you’re sad, pray.
When you want to achieve something, pray.
When you’ve failed, pray.
When you’re poor, pray.
When you’re rich, pray.

Prayer is the solution to all your problems. It builds a deep connection with Allah, helping you find relief from stress and depression.

Prayer heals your heart and mind. It brings you unimaginable peace in a chaotic world.

Don’t trade your prayers for worldly distractions. Don’t find excuses to miss them.

Make time for your five daily prayers—no matter how busy life gets. Plan your day around your prayers, not the other way around.

Invest in your deen. Strive to learn more about your religion and deepen your connection with Allah. Put effort into making your prayers longer, more focused, and more beautiful. Let your voice reflect your love and sincerity when reciting.

Pray with love and devotion. :)

On the bus (life story)

As I wrap up my lesson at 7:57 PM, there’s a sense of satisfaction seeing my students’ positive attitude. I leave my classroom with a big smile and catch sight of four colleagues chatting nearby. “Guys, I gotta go,” I say, only to have one of them playfully mimic me, hinting at my “married man” status. We all laugh, and I head downstairs.

Outside, a sharp cold hits me, bone-deep. Winter already? How did I lose track of time? Just yesterday, it felt like the leaves were still falling. And then—I notice it’s snowing. I reach for my phone, ready to tell my wife about the first snow of the season, only to see she’s already texted, just as excited.

There’s a different kind of happiness in this moment. This year, the first snow comes as a married man. I’ve always dreamed of sharing moments like these with my wife, and I quietly say, “Alhamdulillah.”

I approach the bus station just as Bus 69 appears. I start running, praying for steady footing on the icy sidewalk. Reaching the bus, I see the doors close just before me. Raising my hand, I gesture hopefully at the driver. Just as I start debating whether to wait for the next one or take a taxi, the doors open. A police officer waves me on with a warm smile, despite the bus being packed.

As I squeeze inside, I’m struck by the officer’s kindness. In my mind, I’d always seen police as stern or unapproachable figures, something instilled from childhood, perhaps by society itself. But here he was, making room and speaking kindly.

Finally on board, I start jotting down these moments, turning them into a story for my channel. Time flies, and soon I hear the driver calling out the station, snapping me back to the cold reality of my stop. Stepping off, I finish my last lines before sending the post, thinking that one day, when I finally own a car, I’ll remember these cold nights, racing for the bus and cherishing the journey.

It was a good day.

Sometimes, you need to slow down and take it easy for a while.

For the past two months, I’ve been juggling work and studies with almost no break. Now, I just want to relax for a few days and go with the flow.

The only motivation to go to University is that I can listen to Konsta’s songs and podcasts on the bus.
