Is it Exam

[Living Soul]

:salam2: brothers and sisters

All praise is due to Allah SWt who is ever Mercifull and the most Just and in Whose hand is my soul .

I just received my examination result yesterday and found out that I could not pass my two modules.I did say Alhamdolillah because Allah SWT passed me in other modules at least. But on the otherside I felt so much embarassed as I dont enjoy study anymore. I was just planning to finish it as soon as possible and then do something worthwhile for Islam. I am engaged in spreading the truth in my little circle with the limited abilities that I am blessed with Alhamdolillah. I feel thousand times more strong when I study Islam and understand it. I try to do Da'wa by conduct and sometimes by words of mouth Alhamdolillah. But now this failure in study really makes me feel depressed and weak. My father is spending alot on me and I am not been able to fulfill his desire successfully. I feel ashamed and weak. The reason why I say that I am no more interested in my college study is that I dont feel its giving me any benefit. The knowledge that I get out of it is purely worldly and materialistic. It does not attract me at all. Once I get the degree I dont think that I will be able to utilize it in a way that is meant for it.

I am more interested in studying Islam and increase my knowledge in it. I dont want to waste my time in studying those things which are not going to benefit me in the hereafter. Because life is so short and we spend much of our life in studying those things which actually distract us from true path.

I am looking forward for your comments. Am I thinking right or should I change my mind. My current situation is such that my soul needs more nourishment by Ibada and I do not enjoy any other thing at all. Make dua for me plz.

Salaam, I feel the same way sometimes. Sometimes I don't want to do any thing but read hadith and Quran and listen to different imams from around the world speak of Allah. This interferes with my daily life at times like cooking and chores. My career is different though. If you are studying something that is not beneficial to the human race you will not feel satisfied. I'm a nurse and love to help people feel good on a daily basis. It makes me put the things I learn in the Quran into action. This is still not enough for me. I would love to write about Islam in my view and perspective. I would like my job and my studies to be about Islam. I just don't want to lead anyone on a wrong path with that because I have not studied Islam at a university. Even if I did I still do not feel qualified for that. My view and feelings are human and the only books and literature best for a Muslim is hadith and Quran. So I feel stuck in my seat because Allah keeps me there amazed at his glory. Secret sometimes I'm up late at night reading and on this site and I'm sooooo tired the next day at work and all I can think about is getting home to see if I can find out more beautiful things about AllahSWT. I know this doesn't help solve your problem but at least your not alone in being uninterested in things other than Allah. Nothing makes me happier

:salam2: sisters...

hope ramadan is going well with both of you...i am not a scholar but just wanted to share my openion with the help of ALLAH (swt)...

it is well known that ALLAH (swt) created us (men and jinn) to worship HIM alone...HE (swt) has sent shaitans among both men and jinn...Iblees has LOTS and LOTS of experience in this dunya...we dont have any choice other than obeying our Lord...

as per studies, we are commanded to study ALL the types of ilm other than those prohibited...let me explain by using an example...
if all the people of the ummah study Ulumul Hadith or Tafsir al-Quran and none study other ilms, who will operate us when we have a backbone problem?...who will operate the power plants and factories of our ummah?...who will design and built our infrastructure?...

prophet (saw) advised us to study all the types of ilms that is important for our ummah whether it is IT, Bussiness Management, Aircraft Operations, Language.....etc, etc

rasoolullah (saw) advised us even to go China for studies...here, we clearly know that in the time of prophet, no one will go China for studies of Islamic Shariah, Quran or Hadith...because the people of Islamic Knowledge was in the area prophet (saw) was lived...so that concludes we have to study all the ilms...

a major reason for us to study those ilms is to defend our religion from the attacks of our enemies and make our ummah stronger and more powerful than our enemies...

hope this helps my sisters...

may ALLAH (swt) make our ummah strong and grant us Jannathul Firdaus...amiin...

wassalam

Jazakallaho Khyrn for your replies. Now InshAllah I would take my subjects as my way of worshipping Allah SWT. Plz Pray for me so that I develop my interest in it and complete it successfully. And another thing I can realize is that no matter I put my degree into practice or not , at least people would consider me as a qualified girl and would listen to me more carefully and I would be able to do Da'wa easilly having more effect on people. InshAllah
Plz pray for me.

Allah created us in this world with mission or if not we'll never been born. each individual has his/her responsibilities to perform to run this world. only with KNOWLEDGE whether 'doonyawi/ooghrawi' or both can bring us to every corners of the world inshaAllah.

:salam2:

maybe this is a test from Allaah, and he wants you to give Dawah in your college?

Do you have an Islamic society? Start one up and give Dawah.

In Islam there are amny roles to fulfil, Scholars, Da'iees, Doctors, Nurses etc,
just make your intention sincerely for Allaah and to aid islam and you will insha-Allaah be rewared for it.

Just remember there is good in everything and you are in this situation because this is qadar, the more you strugge for Allaah the more reward you shall get.

:salam2:

Jazakallaho Khyrn for all your replies. Alhamdolillah I feel as if Allah SWT is testing me and at the same time He is strengthening me as well by allowing me to understand Islam more deeply. The more I understand the more I love Islam and the more I want to devout myself for Islam especially in worshipping Allah SWT in four walls of the room. Thats why I dont enjoy any other thing. I just want Allah SWT to be talked about, thought about and cared about. When I see people messed up in jobs irrespective of its being halal or haram and in useless gossipping then I become more fed up of my surrounding. I become quite and feel myself a kind of inactive.

I am doing a part time job in a Shopping Centre where I interect with men and women alike. I have got male colleagues ofcourse but I do Hijab and offer prayer Alhamdolillah. But I see the non-muslims coming for shopping and you can well imagine what kind of clothes they buy in UK. I feel disinterested in such environment. My manager complains of me being slow but nobody knows how I feel inside. I find my mind immersed in Allah SWT's Dhikr and I make mistakes in job.

The same is the case with studies. However I will complete the studies InshAllah. I have left everything to Allah . My subject is Business and Commercial Law.

Salaam,

Sister you are strong. Now, the job bit...work hard. We are to excell in everything we do. The energy will come from Allah subhana talla. I have had my share of menial jobs..and I worked hard. It buids character. Do not allow your manager to point fingers. Do more..that is in the nature of Muslims.

As for your studies. Hey, the second go round will be easier. There is no shame in failing. Think about what you did learn. Now, go back and tackle the course work with all your heart.

When you get to be my age and reflect back you will see that there is a beautiful pattern. All that you did is like a tapestry. And like a tapestry sometimes you work on a little patch here..sometime a little patch over there...but it is preperation for the big picture.

We need to know the rules of business and commerce. We need to be armed with knowledge. Enjoy your learning and eventually you will discover it all makes sense...

Do not give up..each step you take is helping another Muslim...
