A Muslim student is a diffrent student

Every hard-working student has a lot of positive motives that strengthen his or her performance and give them the patience to continue along the tiring path of learning.

But when it comes to a Muslim student, it differs a lot and here are some examples.

Being a Muslim student, I keep in mind while studying that Allah SWT opens a path to Paradise for those who step on the path of acquisition of knowledge.

So, I will study because as a Muslim, I do love science and knowledge by nature, they both will lead me to wisdom and development on all levels of my life.

*I will study because I know Allah has created me smart, with developed mind and I don’t want to lose -by being lazy- anything I have the ability to get indeed only with some little effort.

*I will study because I need to be someone good and to turn my current reality into the best.

*I will study because I always wanted to be a good example for an open minded Muslim Arab female, by being so I could be a reason to change the world's negative points of view about us.

This is a kind of inspiration from that period of time I'm passing through now, The final exams..

I pray for all students to get the best of what they study and to get the results they are looking forward to...

May Allah help us all...

Between Safa and Marwa

Oh my mother Hagar!
The wife of Ibrahim
Running and searching to fed your dying babe
In distress
Running out of breathe
Feeling helpless
And feeling weak

Taking your faith to every mountain
In search of water for your boy
Your dying boy
Oh how the angel took pity on you
Striking the ground and causing water to flow

Fed your babe
All alone in the desert
Wasting away

But it was not the wish of your husband
To cause you such cruelty
He could not even turn back to you
As you pleaded for a reason
His heart was soft
But their was someone he loved more then you
For Allah?, you asked
And he said yes

For Ibrahim loved unconditionally
More then anyone in the world
The one who created the heavens and earth

When Allah spoke to him, he listened
He tested repeatedly his most faithful servant
And in turn Ibrahim is a friend to Allah

And now my mother
We run like you run
Retracing your steps
Not with a babe in our arms
But with our hearts filled

Asking for mercy
Praying that a mere ritual
Will grant us a place in paradise

But for you Hagar, my sweet mother
My faithful mother
I pray for you, a place beside your husband
Where you'll wear gold and never be cold
And never have to run again

Reward of Patience in Worries and Sufferings of Life.

In the chaptor 2 of the Holy Quran our Creator informed us the following :

O you who believe ! Seek help in Patience and As-Salat (the prayer) Truly ! Allah is with the Patient.
And say not of those who are killed in the way of Allah, "They are dead" Nay,they are living, but you percieve (it) not.
And certainly, We shall test you
with something of fear,
hunger,
loss of wealth,
lives and fruits,
but give glad tidings to the Patient.
Who when affilicted with calamity, say:

"Truly ! To Allah we belong and truly,to Him we shall return".

They are those on whom are the Salawat (i-e who are blessed and will be forgiven) from their Lord, and (they are those who) recieve His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided ones.

Man on this planet is like an examinee in an examination hall. Therefore, we should be ready to go through different type of tests, as we can see in the Holy Quran it has been made clear that everyone of us is surely going to be tested in different ways.
Whether he is in difficulties and worries or he is enjoying blessings given by his Creator a true believer takes benefit in both type of situations, in difficuties because he is patient he gets reward from his Lord and when he is blessed with luxuries of life, although now he is enjoying life he says thanks to Allah (by acting upon His commands) and remembers Him.
Thus a true believer is in profit in all type of situations.

So, be a true believer and enjoy a successful life.

I have published this post in response to a mail from one of my closer ones. Who was worried yesterday so much and was unable to sleep the whole night because of worries of life.

May Allah help us in all type of situations.

Ameen !
