Surah Baqarah Verse 195

And spend in the way of Allāh and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction [by refraining]. And do good; indeed, Allāh loves the doers of good.

We are hasty. We are quick to complain, and when we see something or enter a place, it's easier for us to notice the deficiencies instead of thinking to ourselves: "How can I help, even in the smallest way? Even if JUST for today?" Be proactive, and offer your services, ask whoever is in charge: "How can I help you today or in the long-run?" We should NEVER think that our effort (even if very small, like picking up a piece of garbage from the street), goes to waste, no, it makes a difference. Wherever you are, be helpful - don't always be a consumer or "participant", if you go to an event, or the Masjid, or to someone's place, smile and ask the person who you see is doing most of the work, "how can I help?".

Gem: Use your time, efforts, talents and skills for the sake of Allah - find what you are good at, and use that skill or talent feesabillaah
