Life: Overwhelmed

Assalamualaikum everyone...


Ever felt that sometimes, things get so overwhelming in life? They just started to spin around you, in one chaotic manner, piling up stress on your tired mind, more and more? Making you want to break down, as if your mind is in need of re-wiring.

Neurons... in need of re-wiring

Well... al-Quran is indeed the best balm for those moments. The best loveletter of all time. Here are a few nice verses to remember when you're feeling down:

• Surely in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest. ( 13:28)

• O mankind, there has come to you a protection from your Lord and a healing for what is in your hearts, and for those who believe, a guidance and a mercy. (10:57)

• Allah is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light. (2:257)

• When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way. (2:186)

• "Say: Praise be to Allah, and Peace on His servants whom He has chosen (for his Message). (Who) is better?― Allah or the false gods they associate with Him? (59) Or who has created the heaven and the earth, and who sends you down rain from the sky? Yea, with it We cause to grow well-planted orchards full of beauty and delight: it is not in your power to cause the growth of the trees in them. (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Nay they are a people who swerve from justice.(60) Or, who has made the earth firm to live in; made rivers in its midst; set thereon mountains immovable; and made a separating bar between the two bodies of flowing water? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Nay most of them know not. (61) Or, who listens to the (soul) distressed when it calls on Him, and who relieves its suffering, and makes you (mankind) inheritors of the earth? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Little it is that ye heed! (62) Or, who guides you through the depths of darkness on land and sea, and who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His mercy? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? High is Allah above what they associate with Him! (63) Or who originates Creation, then repeats it, and who gives you sustenance from heaven and earth? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Say "Bring forth your argument, if ye are telling the truth!" (64) Say: None in the heavens or on earth, except Allah, knows what is hidden: nor can they perceive when they shall be raised up (for Judgment).(65)" (an-Naml: 59-63)

Need to keep moving forward. Need to keep going. Because tougher things are, the stronger you'll be, at the end of it all. Maintain pace, increase them, if possible.


Yeah, final year is tiring. But insyaAllah, there'll be rewards for them. Besides.. Jannah ain't cheap at all. And if you consider studying to be a Jihad, then struggle forward, no matter how tough things may be. Life's matters are also tough. So much to think of, so much to settle. So many people to please and consider. Yet that's life. The older you are, the more responsibilities you will have. The more you have to consider. But insyaAllah, Allah will make you be ready for them when the time comes. Ya Allah... please make me strong. Make me strong, in facing everything, in dealing with every matter, the way You please.

I know I'm waiting
Waiting for something
Something to happen to me
But this waiting comes with
Trials and challenges
Nothing in life is free

I wish that somehow
You'd tell me out aloud
That on that day I'll be ok
But we'll never know cause
That's not the way it works
Help me find my way

My Lord show me right from wrong
Give me light make me strong
I know the road is long
Make me strong

Sometimes it just gets too much
I feel that I've lost touch
I know the road is long
Make me strong

I know I'm waiting
Yearning for something
Something known only to me
This waiting comes with
Trials and challenges

Life is one mystery

I wish that somehow
You'd tell me out aloud
That on that day you'll forgive me
But we'll never know cause
That's not the way it works

I beg for your mercy
My Lord show me right from wrong
Give me light make me strong
I know the road is long
Make me strong

Sometimes it just gets too much
I feel that I've lost touch
I know the road is long
Make me strong
