Assalamualaikum wbt...
Exam daze is in the air right now. Sometimes its choking to think that the examination is coming in less than a week. But hey, if dont you realise, that exam is going on everyday? Verily, this life IS the examination. Allah evaluate us. Every minutes, every second.Ho! Every action, every thought, every feelings in your heart. And every intention.....
Now its time for another counsel from Imam Al-Ghazali.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sixth Counsel
Intention
Dear beloved son,
How many nights have you remained awake seeking knowledge and reading books, forbidding yourself the pleasure of sleep? I do not know for what purpose [you did this]. If it was for attaining worldly benefits and securing its vanities, its status and position and asserting your superiorities over your peers and brothers, then woe to you and again woe; but if your purpose is to revive the Shariah of the Prophet s.a.w and to train your character,and break the nafs al-ammara [the soul commanding to evil], then blessed are you and again blessed.
The poet spoke truly when he said:
"To spend the night awake and weeping for other than Allah is a foolish waste."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So dear brothers and sisters in Islam, why do you stay up tonight??? Think about it.
Allahumma Najihna fi'l Imtihan, fi'd Dunya wa'l Akhirah.
Bi't Taufiq wa'n Najah! InsyaAllah...
