Verse (Arabic): إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ Translation (English): “Indeed, Allah loves those who rely upon Him.” (Surah Aal-e-Imran 3:159) Translation (Urdu): “بیشک اللہ ان لوگوں سے محبت کرتا ہے جو اس پر بھروسہ کرتے ہیں۔” (سورۃ آل عمران 3:159) Detailed Explanation / Lesson: This verse teaches us the importance of tawakkul (trust and reliance on Allah). True reliance means doing our best with effort and planning, but at the same time, keeping our heart attached to Allah and believing that the final outcome is only in His control. Relying on Allah doesn’t mean abandoning action. It means we act within our capacity, but we trust that whatever Allah decides for us is best. This balance between effort and trust is the essence of tawakkul, and Allah ﷻ loves those who live with this mindset.

The hidden psychology of Upwork proposals: Most freelancers focus on what they want to say. Few focus on how clients actually hire. Here's what nobody talks about: Clients don't hire the best freelancer. They hire the safest choice. Think about it: • They're spending real money • Their reputation is on the line • They have deadlines to meet This changes everything about how you should write proposals. Here are the psychological triggers that actually matter: 1. Risk Reversal Don't say: "I'll do a great job" Say: "If you're not happy with the first draft, I'll rewrite it completely" 2. Social Proof Don't say: "I'm experienced" Say: "Just finished a similar project for [Known Company], happy to share results" 3. Cognitive Ease Don't say: "I can handle all aspects of content strategy" Say: "I'll deliver 3 ready-to-publish articles every week" 4. Authority Positioning Don't say: "I know SEO" Say: "Your competitors are ranking for 'X' term - here's why you're not" 5. Instant Clarity Don't say: "Let's discuss your needs" Say: "I see you need [Specific Outcome] by [Specific Date]" The uncomfortable truth? Most proposals focus on capabilities. But clients hire based on comfort. They're not looking for the best writer, designer, or developer. They're looking for the safest path to their desired outcome.

Assalam u Alaikum Brothers and sisters, These are some productive notes that I've written as I was listening to a bunch of productive videos while I work as a replacement of MUSIC so I thought I'd share this in the community as well, MOST of them are quotes and based on realities that I personally relate so here you go: - Automate human/low-value tasks to free up time for higher productivity. - Don’t overschedule → leave wiggle room for flexibility. - Overscheduling creates a “fantasy world” that doesn’t match reality. - Double your initial time estimates for tasks (worst case it fits, best case you finish early and gain extra time). - Plan upfront → execute during the day (avoid mid-day re-planning). - Writing things down matters — if you’re not writing, you’re not achieving. - Write down: Your goal (make it specific and quantifiable) and Steps/incremental actions to progress. - Strategic goal + incremental plan → otherwise it’s just a cloud. - Writing creates motive → motive creates motivation. - Just because you write it down doesn’t mean anything unless you do it. - If you can’t win fully, at least win the championship (focus on a meaningful victory). - Pick your losses → choose sacrifices consciously instead of being forced to sacrifice everything. - It’s better to be in control of what is being sacrificed. - Focus on learning efficiency, not just effort. - Prioritize enjoyment → make your goal to have fun in conversations. - Procrastination is your enemy → recognize it and shut it down. - Tell yourself: DO IT NOW, DON’T HESITATE, EXECUTE. Waiting leads to negotiating with yourself. - Your brain doesn’t care about goals, it wants easy work → train it to follow through. - Own your negative transgressions and connect them to how they harm your strategic goals. - “Throw the baby out with the bathwater” → don’t discard good ideas/habits while rejecting the bad.
