The Sunnah and Barakah

One wonderful concept I learned from Shaykh Hussain Abdul Sattar regards attracting barakah from Allah.

If you follow the Sunnah of the Beloved of Allah (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam), you will attract Allah's barakah, inshaAllah.

Planning

Rehan Jalali, my teacher in diet and fitness, taught me this very useful idea:

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

He said this in relation to planning your meals when following his diet plan. Obviously, it is general, and can apply to much more.

May Allah protect him.

Here is an article that summarizes a lot of his stuff:
