life is just a task

This life will never be easy to every one. The life is nothing more than a task given by Allah for u to deal with so that u could learn from each of the problems that came along the way. Today a man came to me and asked me am i muslim out of nowhere. From the way he speaks he really has a lot of knowledge in Islam. But from lookwise he looks like a german. Some people who have islamophobic might looked at him with fear but i saw his peaceful face and it showed signs of faith in him.
Back to the topic i'm writing bout, This came to me today and i had some thinking bout it. Allah has asked us to be thankful to Him for what He has given us. Some people might forget when they have problems that some other people are dealing with more problems than they do. Sometimes we might forget during tough times that we could always turn to Him and he'll help us just like a lecturer in class but in a different way. He'll give us hints but we are the ones who should make the thinking. Some problems might even be solved with miracle when there is faith.
A man might have been living with just enough food to eat and just enough clothes to keep them warm, but he wont have to think more than that as usually Allah won't test him as much as a man with a lot of money and living in comfort zone but has to deal with a more complicated matters.
Being a student, i do find studying as a boring thing to do, but learning doesn't stop at school. Life itself can be counted as school.the task in life is actually more interesting. Sometimes the answer wont come so easy. When this happens, this is when the time we started to curse and blame Allah for what we have been given without thinking that it's just the same for other people as they are also being tested with hard times.
Being in comfort zone is also actually a test for uus This test is actually the hardest as we sometimes tend to forget that being there is harder than dealing with tough times. Being there will make us forget to say Alhamdulillah as he has given blessings to us.
Sometimes we tend to say Alhamdulillah even more when we are in trouble rather than having it all.
I am neither religious nor clever in these matters. But I do think that I tend to forget many times that Allah has helped me in many occasions. Instead of saying Alhamdulillah, I still do things he forbids me. I do hope this could help me remind myself that I should try and keep checking my track so that i wont be going the wrong path.
Sometimes the problem I'm facing is just what i created. It's just because I take things lightly after I got through one test.
Like now I'm studying sumwhere the people dont talk english and I'm having difficulties to get used to it. This is because it's been only 3 years since i started to learn this alien language. At the early stage was the time really hard and It went by so slowly as I was suffering and nearly broke down. With faith I still tried and He helped me giving me strenght. Now the pressure is less but still has the same pressure, but with His guidance it shouldn't be a problem if I work my sox off and strive to make things easier for me.
That was my problem, that is could not speak the language of the country I'm studying at, but a fren of mine is having bigger problem as he could not speak English properly because he grew up here where not much English is spoken. I could imagine how hard it is for him to deal with it. As seeing other people talking fluently is actually a bitter pill for u to swallow but it is also the medicine as it could motivates u to learn more and be better.
So if u are in trouble or need to deal with problems, dun take it as a burden instead take it as a blessing as u will actually someday realise it will helps u in the future and makes u stronger if u learn from it... sorry for the long essay.. it's been a while since I blogged or wrote essay. Kind of missing my own writing though...hehe ...loser gila
