I Have A Blog, How Odd.

Okay so a lot of people are sitting for their exams at the moment & this age old question has been bugging me for a while.

Everything that happens, happens for a reason right? If it's written in your takdir, nothing you do can change it, right?

Well then, that means that no matter how hard we work & try to prepare for our exams, we will only get the results which we're meant to get...right or not?

Imagine this...

Mom: *screams* Hardi!!! *blood boiling* 5 U's!!!

Me: It was my destiny, my takdir. Qadha & qadar Allah swt. No revision or coursework can change that, mummy.

Mom: Phew...and there i thought it was your fault.

Me: Of course not! Had it been in my hands...straight A's for you, mom.

Mom: Awww...

Me: *blush*

Well, it's quite simple actually. You gotta put in the effort to prepare for your exams & 9 times out of 10 the results you get will be a direct reflection of your prep.

Unless there are other outside factors that may make you forget some of the material that you learn such as lack of sleep, improper nutrition or too much nervousness.

Allah has complete knowledge of what results you will get but it's up to you to put in the effort.

You gotta make tonnes of doa & take what Allah has given you with a smile & if that's a ''U" that you got then erm...try explaining "qadha & qadar" to your parents.

But then Allah swt is Most Just in His Qadar.

So if you are not going to put in an effort & pray to Allah swt to help you get straight As then you prolly need a course in "mental well being & procrastination"

If Allah wants one to succeed even though one slacks off, He is able to do so. But we have to bear in mind that the right way is to work for what we want & pray to Allah.

But we can never say if we don't work for what we want, Allah will not give it to us.

If after you have tried your best & you still mess up then you can pass it down to Qadha & qadar. It would be great to use that excuse, we could get away with almost anything. Lol!

But if you want something in life you have to go out there & get it.

Allah swt is not just going to hand it to you, you have the choice to take it & if you want it then you have to work & strive for it...unless you have a photographic memory that is.

And Allah Knows best.

Kudos.
