Personal Development

Of all of God's attributes, the one we call upon throughout each day is his Mercy.  Waking, eating, praying or beginning a task we invoke the phrase "Bismillah Al Rahman Al Raheem,"

"Were you to put your complete trust and reliance on Allah, He would provide for you as He provides for the birds. They issue forth hungry in the morning and return filled in the evening."- Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him (Tirmidhi).

Islam advises us to look at those below us and feel content at what Allah has provided us. Here are some practical suggestions on achieving this contentment and repelling the greed of want of more.
