Negativity to Positivity
There are certain things you can learn, you know. Instead of saying, “Well, you did not do well,” you can say, “I think you are doing good but you can do better,” or “I think you are going to do better the next time,” etc. Because positivity is a vibration, it is like an element. Negativity is the same thing. Whatever you produce, it goes on for some time. The other thing is you have to change negativity to positivity.
How can you be positive, and how can you turn negativity to positivity if you do not have any patience? So you need to have a lot of patience and a lot of intention. And then you need to know Qur’an well because every word in the Qur’an is talking to you, is being addressed to you. It is Allah’s intention that He talks to you positively.
Good and evil deeds are not the same. Give a positive, good response to an evil deed; then you will see that one who was once your enemy has become your close friend. (Fussilat:34)
dzan: assumption; thought (good dzan is to assume the best or to give the benefit of the doubt)
wa’ad: promise; resolve to take a positive action
