Thankful Much?

Some people in our world today
Can dream and wonder why

Some people in our world today
Can only wait to die

Empty my conscience for your love
A bouncing finger lets me know I’m alive
& its still rains outside my window

Rains outside my window
Still rains outside my window
Some got it bad, some got it worse

(Outlandish, After Every Rainfall Must Come A Rainbow)

I don't think I'm grateful to ALLAH just enough yet.

People in other parts of the world had it harder than me.

I mean, they are tested with so many things.

And here I am, still complaining with all the luxuries ALLAH has given me.

Islam, knowledge, parents, food. That's to name a few of what He has given to me.

Given the opportunities to watch " Bilal's Stand" yesterday makes me realize of how blessed am I to have the opportunity to learn and study.

Watching the whole scene of him struggling to just even get a proper a education further reinforces the idea that I should NOT complain or whine everytime I have trouble to solve homeworks, assignments or whatever.

Even Prophet Muhammad did not complain when he was facing adversities in his life.

In which should I remind you, were far greater than what most of us have faced.

Doesn't that makes you feel, "Rasa malunyaa kalau selalu komplen pasal assignments, quizzes and all."

Because it feels so insignificant, you know. To complain about all this.

And so, I am determined to not make a single complaint about this whole study stuff.

I MUST try to face it with optimism and faith that Allah's there to help me out. :)

"And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out. And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent. (65:2-3)
