- I forgot the verse ولتسئلن يوميذ عن النعيم during my tasmi’
I was taught to aim for full marks. So, obviously I didn’t take it well when I stuttered during my examination.
I just started my full time job and there was like this training and that training and I still have my tuitions and then this course. I reached home at 10pm+ almost everyday and was still working on weekends. And somehow I thought my mind is not going to stall with that kind of schedule.
So apparently, it was ‘Isyak and it happened that when I was being super upset (while crying, hahah) at the situation, I stepped into the musolla when the imam was reading
“….كان سعيكم مشكورا”
It was like: “It does not matter if you didn’t score well. It is the intention and effort that counts.”
And after much contemplation, it hit me:
On the verse that I forgot ولتسئلن يوميذ عن النعيم:
I almost did not join the course because of my situation at that point of time. I wasn’t sure if I can mentally cope. And lo and behold, I completed it and I didn’t skip any classes. Alhamdulillah. (God knows the tough days of me crying in the toilet. Haha!)
Basically, I was reminded of the fact that I should be thankful of the fact that I can even crawl out of the house and was brave enough to join. And the case wasn’t really true if this was a few years back. It was as if I wasn’t thankful for the situation I was in (able to go to class) and now I am complaining about the fact that I did not scored well for the exam.
Anndd I just registered for the diploma course! Bismillah!
