Advice & Action

Come to me with your advice when I am alone

And do not advise me in the crowd

Because advice amongst the people is a scolding

And I do not like to hear it aloud

Then if you disobey me and do not heed my words

Do no feel sad when you are not followed

Imam Ash-Shafi’ (rh)

Verily the heart has moments of yearning and responsiveness. And moments of indifference and refusal. So snatch it at the time of yearning and response. And leave it at the time of indifference and refusal

-‘ibn Masud (ra)

Don’t convey the truth in a challenging manner

-Imam Ghazali (rh)

Do not be affected by worry or anger when people show a negative response to advice

If you’re tired after walking for 10 miles but someone is tired after walking only 2 miles.

It doesn’t mean that they are not allowed to be tired. It doesn’t mean they are not allowed to feel any pain just because you’ve had it worse.

Don’t compare others to your capabilities.

The list and goals don’t need to be related to assignment submissions, revising for tests but it can also be replying to emails, cleaning your inbox, saying hi to someone you haven’t spoken to for a while, making time for friends/family, finish reading a book, maybe even tidying up the bedroom!
