When you’re not patient, you start complaining. And the fact that you’re complaining is a sign that you’re not grateful.

If you prayed as much as you complain and quarrel, you’d have a lot less to argue about and much more peace of mind.

The moment you start complaining, you are already not taking into consideration all the good things Allah [God] has given you.

Never complain. Never explain.

Don’t moan, don’t whine, don’t blame. Just get on with it.
