"Every bit much every bit you tin, keep dunya (worldly life) in your hand--not in your heart. That ways when someone insults you, keep it out of your heart so it doesn't brand you bitter or defensive. When someone praises you, also go on it out of your heart, so it doesn't make you arrogant and cocky-deluded. When you face hardship and stress, don't absorb it in your middle, so you don't become hopeless and overwhelmed. Instead proceed information technology in your hands and realize that everything passes. When you lot're given a gift past God, don't concur it in your heart. Agree it in your hand so that you don't begin to love the gift more than the giver. And so that when it is taken away you can truly respond with 'inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon': 'indeed we belong to God, and to God we return'."

"It'southward like shooting fish in a barrel to minimize a person'south hurt without understanding the nature of pain. People ofttimes like to categorize how much a person should or shouldn't hurt well-nigh things. For case, when someone is upset about something, they say, "At least you're not paralyzed, or starving in Africa." While it'due south imperative to be grateful for what nosotros accept, I think people often mistaken the nature of pain, when they 'categorize' in this manner. The criteria for how much something hurts is not dependent on the matter itself. It is dependent on 2 things:
1. The force of the attachment.
two. The level of Divine help.
Therefore to minimize the devastation of pain:
ane. Don't be fastened to (dependent on) temporary things.
2. Seek Divine aid.
And don't assign sentence for people'due south hurting."

"We must also realize that nothing happens without a purpose. Zero. Not fifty-fifty cleaved hearts. Not even pain. That broken heart and that pain are lessons and signs for united states of america. They are warnings that something is wrong. They are warnings that nosotros demand to brand a alter. Just like the pain of being burned is what warns united states of america to remove our mitt from the fire, emotional pain warns u.s.a. that we need to brand an internal modify. We need to detach. Hurting is a form of forced detachment. Like the loved one who hurts you once more and again and once more, the more than dunya hurts u.s.a., the more we inevitably detach from it. The more we inevitably stop loving it."
