Jazakum Allahu Khairun for this email. By Allah’s permission, I was able to read your wonderful words of inspiration (And) will Insh’Allah, benefit greatly from them.

Very impressive approach to life.

Very inspiring,masha Allah baarakallahu feekum

Jazakum Allahu khayran for this amazing blog. I’ve joined the toastmasters club and now I realised the amount of filers words we used. Each person has its own filer word eg..’like’ and ‘so’.
As you indicated the phrase of sentence we used to express our thoughts are very important as this has a different effect on the actions and results.
I still remember in your visionnaire duas course how you put emphasis on the words we use to ask a specific duas..how you use different words to ask for a specific duas and how the duas was manisfed through the change of words used.
Looking forward read more of blogs from you. Jazakum Allahu khayran .May Allahswt grant you and family good in this life and hereafter…ameen

MashaAllah sheikh I love your approach to life and the way you incorporate deen into everything! JazakAllah al Khair for your inspiring mails always!!

Hello sheyk Kazakallah hayra May Allah reward you for all those messeges and hopefully i expect you to visit our home country Uganda in Africa my contact is +256701346303

Some words make a great change… I’ll try to prove it.

Sometimes a wisewords can arise our feelings better than lectures or sermons.

I was reading before fajar and I love it , allhamdulilah. Now , I am thinking to teach my daughter who always strives to be the best and that takes lots of energy , it’s much better to ask Allah and to strive to be amongst the best inshallah . Jazska Allah kheyr , sheikh Mohammed Al shared. May Allah bless you.

aSA. Seeing as no questions have been asked yet, I will dive in!

Can you link to some of your fav online resources when it comes to this topic?
Can you give us examples of how language adaptation, directly changed areas of your life?

Ada. Can you give us examples of how language adaptation directly impacted areas of your own life?

Baraka Allah fik
Very empowering. Surely this is a very good method to adopt ti seek motivation when coming out from ine comfort zone

Simple powerful complete makeover words. Jazakallah khayran

Alhamdulillah, thank you for your inspirational post. I often do positive affirmations of myself but little i realize it’s implications on how i manuever my life. This post makes me want to rephrase my goals and make them all come true. May Allah bless you for your hard work.

Jazakakalahu khairah for the write up. This is the first time am seeing a muslim writing on how to motivate others. Please keep it up,more grease to ur elbow.

Simple words hustle someone or somebody more enterprising in making daily decisions .Good job Sheikh .may Allah bless you .wassalam

Jazakallah khaer shaykh. I enjoy reading your articles and learn so much from them mashaAllah. I’d appreciate if you can give some more examples please on how we can use words to empower us in general areas of life. For eg, someone struggling to offer five prayers regularly and read Quran and feeling awful after years of unsuccessful results. A mum of young kids trying to find balance with in all the roles Allah swt has blessed her with. Jazakilah khaer

Sounds easy but its not so easy to practice especially when you have been striving and all that you have done seem not to be working. When your motivation is at its lowest , its hard to be positive.

JazakAllah khayrn, I never thought language could have massive impact to the mindset.

Jazzakallahu khairan !

Thank you very much for the blog sir.. Inshallah it ll change my approach to challenges in life..

Salam alaykum ww, jazakallah khayran kazirah always. Quite inspiring n ever challenging articles from the stable of Bro Muhammad. May Allah continue to strengthen you, make Islam easy for us all to practice n grant us all success in dunniyyah n akhirah, ameen

What if something is blocking me which i can’t ignore. for example, i want to marry some one but mom doesn’t like her. should i wait for the next bus ? 🙂

Thanks
Yusuf

Salam alaikum.
That’s Great a Powerfull

Jazakallah sheikh.

These are inspirational words.
JazaakAllah Khair.

Jazakhallahu khair and jummat kareem

This is a brilliant article, very insightful and eye-opening. If you feel you are blocked in getting married due to your circumstances, how do you change your language to make marriage a possibility?

Maashallah. I have learnt alot today . Allah barik

Thank you Sheikh for this inspiring insight. I did not you had a master degree. In which field you did your master if I might ask?

Asslamu alaikum,

Background:
I have developed a detailed planner to live my life by. I have taken a year off work, from my profession – chartered accountant, to develop myself as a muslim in all spheres of my life. In this, I have dedicated 30 hours per week to islamic study (quran memorisation, tafseer, seerah, fiqh etc). (Previous to this i have attended a handful of al maghrib/ al kauthar courses and this is the extent of my learning. i have not memorised any quran, but have done 2 levels of tajweed).

Question:
I am struggling with how i should be apportioning my time in my study, especially with regards to the portion quran memorisation should have? Should it be 50% for e.g.?

Jazak Allah khair.

Just wanted to add to my above question….

I’m memorising the Quran with meaning, and also learning to write it. However tasfeer (using bayinnah tv) is very time consuming per surah.

My current approach is to memorise (in the method above) with allocated time for tafseer per week also – but this is lagging significantly behind memorisation. Do you think this approach is fine?

JazakALLAAHU Khyran

Salamualikum waramatulahi wabarakatu… Alliamdullillai for your motivational words. We learn so much from you. I will say, Jazakhalla khair

Assalamu alaikum 🙂
Jazak Allahu Khair, I really appreciate your book and courses, I have learned a lot and may Allah reward you both in this dunya and next ameen.

Barakallah ya Sheikh Muhammad, you are inspiring person. I love to read all your articles, very clear and enthusiastic.

Jazakumlah Khaeran. may Allah continue to increase you in iman and iqma. Amin

This is really true.. jazakallah khairan. Everytime i read your mail i feel you are really talking about me or things i ‘ve. Some bitter words i rememberd that made my life miserable. Words do have power to do good and bad.

ASA. Can you give us examples of how you have used this to directly impact changes in your life?

ماشاءالله يا شيخ محمد جزاكم آللة كل خير

Masha Allah, what a beautiful article. I am going to change the way I am thinking, but honestly I always and continuosly feeling down everyday. Especially when it comes to my personal life. I just married earlier this year (March 2015) with the man mom chose for me. I have to admit that I am not happy with this marriage and sometimes I regretted that I got married with the guy I did not love. I always think about getting a divorce. What should I do? I am unhappy with my marriage.

Inspiring words to live by. Alhamdulillah.

Thank you very much for the great inspiring words. I understand that you had finished studying Islamic Law. Do you mean “Shariah?” Would it be possible to make some consultations with you regarding some Islamic way of life issues? I would appreciate it very much if you could do it. Thank you very much.

Assalamualykum Alhamdullilah the emphasis of being the best has many draw backs. Your advice on being amongst the best is exactly what the sahaaba radialluhum ajmaieen strived for. This is the true spirit of Imaan and Ukhuwa. May Allah Ta’ala guide me and all Muslims to please Allah Ta’ala in all circumstances. Aameen

salam alikun. u are book.I love reading u. u are an institution .I love attending ur class. pls keep it up. may Allah S.W.T rwd u.

Salaamu alaikum Sheikh

JazakaAllahu khair, this is exactly what all people from all walks of life, need to read and know. You succeed to bring positivity to mankind maashaAllah. Allah used you and others to equip me with whatever islamic knowledge I know today. May Allah safeguard you, bless you and your family.

la hawlah wa la kuwwata illah billah…
jazakallahu khayra , very much needed…

Jazak Allah kheyr brother in islam
very educative

The believe and achieve image is so powerful

I’d add:

I will………… then when?

Well written article. It’s among the best articles I have read.
My question is: how do we expand our use of the language? .
And
How effective is writing our hurdles Down on a piece of paper ?

As salamu alaikum, I manage a community newspaper in Fort Myers, Florida. This newspaper covers the southwest Florida area and it’s not a Muslim publication, but I will have a dawah page in the newspaper, Insha Allah. I’m Asking your permission to be able to reprint some of your writings.

Assalamualaikum Syekh,
Alhamdulillah you’ve showed me a positive way to look at life situation.What’s important is I need to think first before O speak and have a niyat (attention) solely for Allah SWT.Jazakumullah al khair

Masha’Allah! Very empowering. Moved by your words, the poem made me cry. I have benefitted a lot from you and this article is just timely. Jazakallah khair brother continue with the work your doing you just have no clue how much it has helped me and I’m sure others are also inspired! May Allah reward you abundantly.

Alhamdulillah ;I am Reading this

Assalamu alaikum,

My question is amongst the best 2 questions : May I schedule a personal 1 on 1 meeting with you shaykh muhammad this week? I need some immediate advise on a business matter and your feedback would be amongst the best :).

Jazakallahu khayran katheran

A very inspiring and an empowering blog.
God Bless! Jazakallah khair.

Only Allah can reward you fully.

As Salam alaikum, jazakallahu khair for all your inspiring messages may Allah reward u abundantly

Nice reminders of the power of words to shape outcomes small and large. Shifting from an OR to an AND paradigm is a really empowering technique if you can implement it. I also like the aiming to be ‘Amongst the best’ way of thinking. Question: When are you making a public appearance in Ottawa next? It would be nice to catch up a bit and say salam in person! All the best 🙂

Jazak Allah Khair. Inspirational.

Interesting, indeed

Ma sha Allah Power of word is one of the favours of Allah being given to us that’s why he said to us in some verses of the Qur’an: Say. الله يجزيك عنا خيرا

masaallah

Salam Alaikum Muhammad!
I really, really liked this post about our choice of words we use on a daily basis and how we self-sabotage.
Could you kindly give more examples of how a shift in word usage can change our outlook for the better, please?
This is an area I am deeply concerned about and want to see change for the better in my life, Inshaallah.
We appreciate all that you do for the Ummah.

Thank you!
Aisha Ibrahim.

Very good article! Yes, the words we speak can determine our fate. Also, what we think about can too. I’m working on my mindset and speaking more positively.

Very well Sir!! keep it up 🙂

Thank you for the aspring words
May allah reward you and your family in abandance
Ameen

Assalemou alaykom..
I was wondering, isn’t a muslim supposed to be the best so he could be a great model for everyone..?? (Certainly without negative emotions and actions againt others..)
