Words are More Magical than Magic

We experience a range of emotions—happiness, excitement, surprise, anxiety, sadness, and depression—all through the power of words.

I once told a friend during a badminton game, "I don’t ever sweat no matter how much I play, just like a pig. I hate my body." I stopped her and said, "Don’t ever degrade yourself, no matter how bad you feel. Your mind will accept it and make you feel that way. If we don’t see ourselves as good and powerful, who else will? Compare yourself with the best things you’ve seen and felt, not the worst." My words had an instant effect on her. She realized and said, "Yes, I will never compare myself with bad things and will think positively about myself." It was powerful, and we both knew it.

Whenever I get worried, stressed, or anxious, I just want to see my husband and hear him say that he is there for me and will take care of me. Every time I feel stuck and anxious, he hugs me and says the word "RELAX." I feel that word, and I can sense my brain easing. I can breathe easier and believe in the moment.

Everyone speaks, talks, and says a lot of things, but only a few words leave a strong impact on us. I believe that whatever reaches us are the right words. There was a time when I felt lost and unsure of my path, but I found strength in Allah SWT’s words in the Quran. His words guided me through tough times and helped me grow stronger. I believe that every word we say will either hit us or heal us. Negative words tear us apart, but positive words build us back stronger. Not only I, but every reader of this article can see themselves becoming weaker, better, and stronger with time, people, and situations. I believe that words said at the right time, place, and situation are more powerful than any force. They can start or stop wars. Deciding the right words to speak is a major part of our communication. As Prophet Muhammad (SWT) said, "The best among you are those who have the best manners and character." This emphasizes the importance of speaking positively and kindly. He also said, "A good word is charity" (Sahih Muslim). These words can be a source of immense strength and comfort, helping us navigate through life's trials with grace and positivity.

Whenever I face difficult times, I remind myself of Allah's (SWT) wisdom that life is a series of tests and that everything in this world is temporary. This understanding empowers me to stay resilient and embrace life's challenges with strength and faith. Positive words, spoken at the right time, can uplift our spirits and provide the encouragement we need to persevere.

Every positive word I have heard from people who want me to grow and be happy fills me with gratitude for having them in my life. Their encouragement and kindness are blessings that uplift my spirit. To those who have tried to break me and make me weak, know that I possess an inner strength beyond measure. This strength comes from my unwavering faith in my Lord's words, the Quran, the unwavering support of my husband, and my trust in myself. These sources of strength empower me to rise above challenges and continue to grow with resilience and positivity.

I firmly believe that the power of words can surpass even the greatest physical strength. Through my words, I aspire to make the world a better place. Surrounding ourselves with positive words fosters peace and harmony, while negative words can disrupt and destroy it. Words hold an incredible power that can shape our emotions, thoughts, and actions. They can uplift us, provide comfort, and inspire us to be better. By choosing to speak positively and kindly, we can create a ripple effect of goodness in the world. Let us all strive to use our words wisely, to build each other up, and to foster a world filled with peace and harmony. Remember, the right words at the right time can make all the difference.

The Path to Inner Peace

  Peace is something we all crave. We wish, pray, and seek a peaceful and happy life, but often, we find ourselves overwhelmed by stress and anxiety in this pursuit. We tend to overthink and create scenarios in our minds that are far from reality. I, too, crave peace, but instead of doing things that bring me peace, I often do the opposite. I worry about things beyond my control, and most of these worries never come to pass. I realized that my constant chain of thoughts was causing me stress and tension, preventing me from finding peace. Identifying the real problem was the first step toward my journey to peace. I began focusing on activities that bring me tranquility and calm my mind. Instead of dwelling on things I cannot control, I started concentrating on what I can control. I began journaling my thoughts, planning my day, praying, taking care of my eating habits, spending quality time with myself, and reducing unnecessary screen time. I have been practicing these habits ...

The Journey of Detachment

When you're away from home, you miss it deeply. It's not just the house you miss, but every moment spent there with the people you love and care about. For me, being with family at home brings peace. Sharing a cup of chai with biscuits and engaging in ongoing gossip with my mother, sister, and brother is a blessing. I miss my home, my dream home, built with so many dreams and so much love. Every inch of it was planned and thought out by us. We had to sell it due to circumstances that tested us. We built it with a lot of emotions and love, and I miss every inch of it that gave me countless memories and moments. But it was God's plan to teach me that not everything in this world is permanent. We come across many things to which we get attached, but they are just material possessions. As Muslims, we believe that we are travelers in this world. We come empty-handed and leave empty-handed, collecting only deeds based on our actions. When we sold the house, I was sad and depr...

AVIGATING THE STORM: MY JOURNEY WITH STRESS AND ANXIETY

I want to talk about something very important and serious that we all deal with: stress and anxiety. I'm one of its chosen ones, and it never leaves me alone. It's not a simple thing; it affects every part of my day until my thoughts are resolved. I constantly stress about situations and get anxious. I've been surviving with this overthinking, always stuck on the same point, unable to think about anything else, trying to fix things in my mind that I cannot control. I often stress over questions like "What if?", "How can it happen?", "What can I do?", and "How to resolve it?". These are very serious words to me. Once, I even fainted due to an anxiety attack. When we're anxious or stressed, we can sense it. It becomes hard to breathe, our chest tightens, and we're filled with agony. I even miss my monthly period cycle due to this issue. I used to take counseling and therapy to make myself better, but this is not easy stuff. ...
