To live a life is not how far you are from your goal but how far you have gone towards your goal...

Perseverance and submit everything in His hand are two principles a true Muslim must have in their souls... 

These are the principles that i had tried to achieve for all my life,

i may be patient but i am not a persevered person. To be patient with less grumbles and comments is still not in my blood yet. However, i want to be in that state. 

Actually, perseverance and the submission to Allah SWT share synonymous meaning. You don't complain; you keep moving on and rely on Him for your next fate are to name some of the acts that persevered person can have.

I want to relate both principles in my life right now.. This is my story....

I received my timetable today and i noticed i am one of the pupils that are 'not-so-good' in class. Last time, i would cry and blame Allah and myself to be in such 'miserable' condition but now i don't.. At present, I don't want to compare myself with other people around me because i am different from them in many ways.. Allah made everyone special in many ways.. (read the Quran, you'll find that verse somewhere, insyallah). 

Here i want to share a tafsir of a Surah that is called The Relief (Ash - Sharh).

1) Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?

2) And We removed from you your burden

3)Which had weighed upon your back

4)And raised high for you your repute.

5)For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.

6)Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.

7)So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].

8)And to your Lord direct [your] longing.

I can only explain the meanings in my point of view but this is just how i see the verses relate to me. 

We MUST NOT GIVE UP

Every tears lingers today are for the smile of tomorrow

We keep on walking after we achieve what we want

Keep on believing to in Allah Almighty and submitting ourselves to Him, the One who knows what are the best for us.

Remember, life is like a dream while akhirat is when someone wakes you up from your dream..
