A New Start

Assalamualaikum guys.. For the past few days, my club at the university (VicMuslims Club) had opened a booth where we promote Islam; having multiple activities like 'Try-a-Hijab', writing names in Arabic calligraphy, distributing free Quran translations, and etc.  One thing that stands out the most during the event was when we had one-to-one discussions with non-Muslims regarding religion, particularly Islam. What I had learned was that while Islam is perfect the way it is, people’s depiction of how religion should be and somehow thinking that they need to change certain things has resulted in what was initially already perfect to become lesser than what it actually was, i.e. the Sharia Law.  A guy came to VicMuslim’s booth and told us how he, who was initially a religious Christian, has decided that he’d be  well off being atheist due to the fact that the world today seems to be in war because of religion.

Assalamualaikum everyone.. This video illustrates a beautiful way of looking at 'musibah', the problems you are facing in life.

Assalamualaikum gaiss.. As a student who is about to enter 'the real world', which is adulthood, it's not uncommon to say that we seem to gain more and more responsibilities (and problems) as we age. But then, as Allah has said; لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا “Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear…” (Qur’an, 2:286). As a human being, being sad is fine. Being depressed is fine. Being disappointed is also fine. But then, Allah reminds us that everything will pass. The problem you're having right now is not going to be there forever. Allah wants us to move on, making sure that every single day is better than the previous one.  Even if it's not better, maintaining it is good enough, because at least, you've done something today, right?
