Exam Stress...

salaam brothers and sisters :) :)

It's that time of year
When I'm full of fear
Scared and unable to sleep
I keep these thoughts near
Afraid to share
Or show my fears

Revising hard
Like it's a bigger Fard
Than following Islam
Which keeps me calm

My final exams are nigh
End of an era
But my mind is full of terror
Grade eleven
Final year
Have to do well
A few A*'s and maybe
A couple of A's
That is If I'm lucky
If not how do I tell my family
That I failed miserably?

My mum crying
My dad staring
Into space
With an empty face
Sombre dark frame of mind
Takes hold like somebody died

I let down the family
What will people say?
Relatives boasting
Their kids done outstanding
Whilst my parents hide their shame
In isolation
Holding me for the blame


My life ain't worth living
And I think about myself deeply
I think about suicide
Ending this pain and worry
With escape to break free

Expectations so high
My older siblings are flying
In their careers
Doctors and engineers

I'm expected
To go higher
Maintain the tradition
To succeed in education

Qualifications
Job applications
Working hard
Lots of money
Fame and success
Is everything

Getting married
Having kids
Retirement
And that's the end!

That's the plan my parents got
But I find my mind
Thinking and asking
Is their more to life than this?
Following the society
or following my Creator?

Where does happiness and success lie?
This life or the next?
You decide.

Exams can be retaken
But if I waste my life
Will I get the chance to come back and re-take?

wassalam :)

There is no stress for us

The biggest carrier is the carrier of Akhirat which is easy to achieve but difficult to understand.

Whether you would be doctor or engineer, at the end you will get only those things that has been alloted for you by the Almighty ALLAH.

Dont be worry about yourselves. Rememer one Hadith (Bukhari)

'' Everything that happens to a believer (man/woman) there is good in it"

If you get success then Allah is pleased with you. Thanks Allah and He (SAW) will give you more.

If you are failed/pain/uncussessful then ALLAH will recompensate you in the hereafter by reducing your punishment in the HELL (MAY ALLAH PROTECT YOU FROM THIS) or increasing your rank in the HEAVEN.

So be patient, and ask help/refuge from ALLAH, ALLAH will give a way to out from your stress, Inshallah.


Don't think too much about the past. All is predistined.
