Did you remember?

The times when you have trouble and you believe that your future is hopeless.
The times when you felt so stressed because of the examinations and all you see is a dark road lying in front of you.
The times when you felt so down because you feel that other people are better than you and get something better than what you have.
The times when you felt so inferior to everyone else in the room .
The times when you sat down and stares to the sky and said to yourself , "what happened to me? "
The times when you cried cause' you feel that the world is being harsh to you?




And yet, here you are today. Still intact.

And because all of the things that you faced before, you are stronger than ever, you know how to deal with the situations aforementioned, and you are very confident that you can go through any obstacles that might come in your way.

But , why hesitate now?

Along our not-so-long life, we stumbled upon many life-changing events, situations which we thought that we can never break through. We face choices, in which the decision we take will determine who we are tomorrow.

This is how He is preparing us.It's all part of a bigger plan.
Don't know where did I get this from, but it's worth sharing. In different phases of life, we'll face different kind of issues.

10-12 yrs old : Having to cope with friends and social acceptance

13-17 yrs old : Again , peer pressure, social life, sexuality, crushh. (-.-)

18-25 yrs old : Life choices, path, marriage desire (for some.lol),Life partners,Love .

26-40 yrs old : I don't know.

It had been carefully and perfectly arranged by The Planner.

Sometimes we are sad because we did'nt get something  that we want, only to be grateful that we are saved from the bad repercussions caused by it.

Sometimes we are sad because life does not turn out to be what we want it to be, only to be thankful that He had replaced it with something wayy better for us.

Sometimes we break down as we believe that the test given by Him was so hard, only to to say praises to Him as it had thought us precious lessons.

Sometimes we faced choices which was really hard to decide and we sat down and think "why it becomes like this", only to realise that the road we took was the best that He gave to us.

It's all part of the tarbiyah. He's giving us a crash course to mould us into a better person. From the day we are born, He had arranged everything in place so that we can improve by every tribulations that we face. after all He's the rabb right - rabb -tarbiyyah. Makes perfect sense.

And what's the end point, what the tests,tribulations and obstacles are for?
It came back to our purpose of living in this world. You know it.



SO WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO?
- Just let it pass.It's all part of a bigger plan.
- If you have to make choices, don't forget to include Him in your decision-making.Istikharah is the best way.Ask Him to give the best for you.
- Remember that no sadness is eternal in this world. Tears and Laughters are 2 things which alternates each other.
- Keep focused to your priority, as a student, His slave, His khalifah and His daie'.


A Gift for You:

Allah knows what’s best for us

So why should we complain

We always want the sunshine

But He knows there must be rain

We always want the laughter

And the merriment of cheer

But our hearts will lose their tenderness

If we never shed a tear.

Allah tests us often

With suffering and with sorrow

He tests us not to punish us

But to help us meet tomorrow

For growing trees are strengthened

If they withstand the storm

And the sharp cut of the chisel

Gave the marble grace and form

Allah tests us often

And for every pain He gives to us

Provided we’re patient

Is followed by rich again

So whenever we feel that everything is going wrong

It is just Allah’s way

To make our spirit’s strong.

and lastly ,

Sometimes, Allah breaks our spirit to save our soul. He breaks our heart to make us whole. He sends us pain so we can be stronger. He sends us failure to make us humbler. He sends us illness so him we remember. Sometimes, God takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything He's given us
