Finding Motivation in Trust

Assalamualaikum,

It’s that time of the year again! Finals are just around the corner and you probably have to deal with a lot more than just studying and writing papers. You may have to prepare for an an emotional roller coaster if things get rough. But remember Allah through it all and you will succeed, inshAllah. Even for those of you who don’t have to worry about those lovely exams and papers, this is always a helpful reminder:

“And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if any one puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him.” -Quran 65:3

As a side note, before any particularly difficult test, a good way to boost your confidence is to repeat to yourself  “La Hawla Wa La Quwwata illa Billah” — There is no power and strength except with Allah. Oh, and don’t forget to start your papers by saying “Bismillah” ! 🙂

Just some helpful reminders for all of you and myself as well.

Peace.
