A Blessing In Disguise: The failure in the past...

      Something good that isn't recognized at first. Yeah! That is what a blessing in disguise is. Early this year, I had failed my major paper in the final exam. Hit the books! The minute I knew that I am going to repeat for the  exam, that idea comes to my mind. Repeatedly I told myself to never give in. There must be something that Allah had planned for me.

       I took some time to reflect on my life. How I had lived in it for two decades now? I realised that there are many things I have to change. The way I think, the way I work and most of all, the way I present myself as the servant of Allah. I had been neglecting my responsibility and living a carefree life last year. Idle hands are the devil's tools. I have nothing to do this year instead of attending lectures and tutorials. It differs from the previous years when I was active in many activities on campus. The years I was involving with Student's Representative Council, my academic achievement shines more that it was in 2010. 

      As I came to realise this matter, I pray to Allah to forgive me for I had taking for granted the potential that He give as a gift to me. I will do my best to do better from now on.

ALLAH knows what is best for us
So why should we complain?
We always want the sunshine
But He knows there must be rain.

We always want laughter
and the merriment of cheer

but our heart will lose
their tenderness
If we never shed a tear.

ALLAH tests us often
with suffering and sorrow
He tests us not to punish us
but to help us meet tomorrow.

For growing trees are strenghtened
if they can withstand the storm

and the sharpness of the chisel
gave the marble its grace and form.

ALLAH tests us often
and for every pain
He gives us

provided we are patient
 
Is followed by rich gain
So whenever we feel that
everything is going wrong

It is just ALLAH'S way to make our   spirit strong.
