Teach you, this New week, to show others manageable action steps, give them hope and be sure to follow up, that certainly will give you inner peace and uncountable success
Pray with me: O Allah! Thank you for another grace of seeing a new week. Give me the strength and wisdom to impact others positively and make my foothold firm in Faith. Grant all my heart desires and do not leave me within a twinkle of an eye, by Your Grace. Amin
Good morning and have a splendid week!
