Our relationship with God and people
ضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الذِّلَّةُ أَيْنَ مَا ثُقِفُوا إِلَّا بِحَبْلٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَحَبْلٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ

Challenge yourself to speak up, and avoid gossip
Not many people dare to speak up. Is it because of culture, the way of our upbringing? You need four things to avoid watercooler conversations or passive-aggressive texting.
- confidence
- intent
- delivery
- strive to seek a solution
The result will be a happier and more productive workplace that values openness and honesty.

Hadith about Gossip
Backbiting is more grievous than adultery, and god will not forgive the backbiter until the one wronged has forgiven him
Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H)
I have to think twice, thrice before gossip.
Quote about gossip
If you didn’t see it with your own eyes or
hear it with your own ears,
don’t invent it with your small mind &
share it with your big mouth
Take care of one’s health is an obligation in Islam
Muslims are requested to take care of their health. As mentioned in the Ql-Quran and followed by hadith, health is important because without good health one will not be able to carry out his or her duties, for example, perform prayers, observe fasting in Ramadhan and make a pilgrimage or Hajj to Mecca.
Quran (2:195)
And make not your own hands contribute to (your) own destruction (harm).
The Prophet (PBUH) said: “There are two blessings which many people do not appreciate: Health and leisure.”
Go for work-life balance. Don’t exert yourself and moderation in whatever you do is necessity.
