*LIFE IS A GOD'S GIFT.....DO WE REALLY KNOW THAT...MUST READ.....

STORY OF

EVERY ONE OF US....*

From young I was told I had to be the best

I must learn to score for my exams and tests

I studied hard to be the top in class

So that my friends will respect me with all the fuss

I wanted to be adored, praised and be popular

Success to me is to be top scholar

I wanted to shower myself in fame

I also hoped to earn a big name

I studied hard and topped my school high

I believe that to make friends, success is a tool

I wonder if they still like me if my wealth ends?

If I become poor and old, will my friendships be stale?

I work hard, but who am I trying to impress?

The fear of losing my reputation is causing me stress

I want friends to respect me forever and ever

But alas! My business failed me terribly

I was down with illness and suffered painfully Left me

because my status has no stands

I'm left alone and wonder whether it is true?

To make good friends, wealth matters too?

I looked at the side of my bed and saw the Qur'an

Guilt enveloped me because the Qur'an I have read none

I explored the Qur'an to know about Allah the Lord

True Muslims friends start to befriend me

It doesn't matter whoever I'll be

They accept me and love me despite my flaws

I met a man who is unfortunately blind.

He then advised me with words so kind.

He said, 'Love yourself and be grateful for what you are?

After the blind man left, my mind started working.

I was still surprised and truth starts coming.

I kept wondering, what is success to me?

Is it about having friends, or earning a good degree?

I had all these and yet I was not satisfied.

Could it be because that Allah was not on my side?

Then I realize that I have been foolish.

My INSECURITY is the one that was my leash.

Why was I ungrateful to Allah Most Great?

Oh! I'm ashamed for being so proud.

When my success was actually a passing cloud!.

Now I realize my great big mistake.

So I do more good deeds now with sincerity and no fake.

Remember true success is not about having lots of friends.

In fact, it is about passing Allah's tests.

Happiness is not about showing off your generous part.

In fact, it's about the ATTITUDE of your heart

Say: 'I like who I am and I'm glad to be me

I love being a Muslim and Allah sets my heart free!

I can feel in my mind and in my little heart bone

I confess - with Allah around, I know I'm never alone'

If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for your mistakes

They will teach you valuable lessons.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles.
