Assalam Aleykum Warahmatullahy Wabarakatuhu!
Hey guys! :)
Sometimes,I sit down and think about who I am and who I want
to be.Living as a Muslim in today’s society is certainly not easy.When so many
things have become the norm.Things like mixing with the opposite gender,listening
to music and a whole bunch of other things that you already know about because
we all actively engage in one or the other.
Obviously,no one wants to do the wrong thing.I think
ultimately people are just searching for happiness.So we choose to engage in
things that we believe will make us happy.Personally,I like to have fun.I love
the feeling of being happy and experiencing life.I mean who doesn’t right?But I
also hate the guilt that comes with doing the wrong thing.I know,no one’s
perfect.We all sin and will continue to do so because that’s how Allah SW
created us.But life just seems so difficult sometimes.I guess in all this
hullabaloo we end up losing our focus and even ourselves.
You know when something happens to you so many times,you
start to think that’s how things are always going to be.You start to forget
that things could be different.I guess constantly being on the wrong has got me
doubting if I could ever be good.
They say that experience is the best teacher and I completely
agree.It’s just that there are some things you never think you’ll ever go
through or experience until they actually happen to you and then you end up
having that “Oh wow I never saw that coming” moment.
But one thing I’ve learnt is that you cannot afford to give
up.Just because you’ve made a lot of mistakes,committed a lot of sins,doesn’t
mean your chances of becoming better have died along with the mistakes you’ve
made.I do believe that Allah SW is in control and nothing happens without Him SW
willing it.So yes,everything does happen for a reason.Whether we understand
those reasons or not.
No matter how bad things get,better days are coming.Keep
trying to be better,to excel in every aspect of your life whether
physically,religiously or socially.Don’t let your mistakes blind you from
seeing the lessons behind them.And so what if you mess up?That’s the funny
thing about life,that’s how we learn.So keep your head up.Keep praying,keep learning
and keep messing up.It’s definitely not going to be easy,but it will be worth it
in the end, in shaa allah.
