Its that time again.
It this what you call stress?
Gimme more headaches!
You may know someone who is studying for final exams these days. Final exams are always a nice time to focus on the true exam of life. 1. In school, you can often redo your exam if you fail. In the hereafter, if one fails there is no going back. 2. In school, you often do not know what questions will be asked. In the hereafter, there are only 3 questions: Who is your Lord? What is your Deen? And who is this man who was sent to you? But the answers are answers you live by. 3. In school, we stay up at night to cram for the exam the next day. So too in Allah's exam, we should be staying up in night prayers. 4. In school, we work and pray and hope for an outstanding mark. So too should be our attitude towards Allah's exam. 5. In school, when we get a great mark, we erupt with happiness. So too will the believers erupt in happiness when they get their books in their right hands. Work for it. 6. In school, when we get a bad mark, sadness can be seen on our faces, and we dislike to face others. So too in the hereafter. Protect yourself from that. 7. During a school exam, you cannot ask anyone for help. In the hereafter, you can prepare from now to get assistance from Allah's Messenger, the Quran, and other ways of intercession. 8. In school, when exam time draws near, we banish distractions to focus on what is really important. In Allah's exam, isn't death within 1 heart beat? Banish distractions and focus. 9. In school, until exam results come out, we worry about the result. In Allah's exam, we don't know what our result will be, so we spend our days in hope and worry until the results come out. What do you think? Do you have other reflections on exams?

De-ja-vu
We were given so many prizes We changed the desert into oasis We built buildings of different lengths and sizes And we felt so very satisfied
We bought and bought We couldn’t stop buying We gave charity to the poor ’cause We couldn’t stand their crying We thought we paid our dues But in fact To ourselves we’re just lying
Oh…I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place I’m walking with my head lowered from my race Yes it’s easy to blame everything on the west When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
We were told what to buy and we’d bought We went to London, Paris and Costa del Sol We made show we were seen in the most exlusive shops Yes we felt so very satisfied
We felt our money gave us infinite power We forgot to teach our children about history and honor We didn’t have any time to lose When we were.. (were) So busy feeling so satisfied
I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place I’m walking with my head lowered from my race Yes it’s easy to blame everything on the west When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
We became the visuals without a soul despite the heat Our homes felt so empty and cold To fill the emptiness We bought and bought Maybe all the fancy cars And bling will make us feel satisfied
My dear brother and sister It’s time to change inside Open your eyes Don’t throw away what’s right aside Before the day comes When there’s nowhere to run and hide Now ask yourself ’cause Allah’s watching you
Is He satisfied? Is Allah satisfied? Is Allah satisfied? Is Allah satisfied?
Oh..I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place I’m walking with my head lowered from my race Yes it’s easy to blame everything on the west When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
-----------------------------------------------
I am asking my self. Am I really satisfied? Is Allah satisfied?
You know the obvious answer for this.
