We...

must remember that Allah is the One who grants sustenance (rezeki) to us and He is able to take it any time He wants from us.

Sometimes we forget that all of our rezeki belongs to Him and Him only.

As a student, I think the perfect example would be regarding to our examination results.

Try to think about the time when we get not-so-good or really (it can be just really or really really really) bad results.

We will, inevitably, question the reasons why we get such results.

And we will be finding it difficult to accept. At some point, we'll get sad or mad with Allah. Unconsciously or consciously.

But think about this whenever you feel the same way as I've described earlier.

1. To whom our rezeki belongs to?

2. Who grants us such results?

It is Allah.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

So if He decides to take a little bit of his rezeki from you, it's His rights.

Because all of the rezeki belongs to Him and Him only, so it is His rights (and may I add, it is natural too) for Him take something of His belongings back.

Don't you think so?

And remember that it is by His mercy that He grants us sustenance. If not...

We are, after all, Alllah's weak servants who depend unto Him to live in this dunya.

We should be ashamed with ourselves whenever we feel sad or mad or angry with Allah and try to rebel Him just because He wants to take His belongings back from us.

And do know this. Allah's decisions are the best for us.

If He suddenly decides to test us with our exam grades, there must be reasons behind it. Kan kan?

So don't be sad or mad with Allah when we get bad grades.

Rather, we should think of the hikmah behind it and every time we study, try to betulkan our intentions (niat).

That we do it as an ibadah to Him. And it is up to Him to decide of the rest.
