Graduating high school

Grad pictures are coming up and I need a Grad quote so if anyone has any good quotes make sure u leave it cuz rite now I think I am going to go with “there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is his last and final messenger.” But I don’t know if that is going to be good for Da wah, it just might confuse ppl. I want a quote that will get people thinking about life and changing their perspective on it. Maybe I am aiming to high with a simple quote.

Grad I didn’t want to take the pics or even go to commencement but peer pressure prevailed actually it was a few people who I love dearly which wanted to see me graduate and it would mean a lot to them. So I said it wont hurt and I would make a couple ppl happy why not.

Why am I not hype for grad, I guess cuz I don’t feel like I accomplish anything. WOWS applaud me, I did a couple of courses and I got over 50% so I get some certificate. I don’t see a big achievement, maybe when I graduate from some university it would be tremendously more exciting, But rite now big deal that I am graduating high school.

A day that frightens me but also gives me a purpose. That’s the day I want to graduate with flying colors. That’s the day where I will be excited for graduating. When I don’t get a certificate but I receive the book in my right hand. That will be the day I am jumping with joy and I will be saying “HERE!! Read my record! Surely, I did believe that I shall meet my Account!” (Surah Al-Haqqah)

Patience I am going to have to wait for that day but in the mean time I should be ranking in marks so I am successful in that day of judgment and a good step to that goal is coming up with a amazing quote that could have the potential of changing someone’s life. Therefore leave a quote in the comment section or email me any good quotes that u know of.

Poem

By: Faiza Kaleem
Islam is peace Islam is ease,
Islam's not danger or disease
Islam is love and prosperity
Islam's not hatred or adversity
Islam is salvation through repentance
Islam has love for all in abundance
Islam means no harm or affliction
Islam implores you with affection
Islam is neither maze nor craze
Islam is giving Allah all praise
Islam is acing through the race
Islam will be on everyone's face
Islam is worshipping only the Creator
Islam's not mere numbers on a calculator
Islam gives you power when you surrender
Islam's not a terrorist or for a pretender
Islam is patience and perseverance
Islam eases your vengeance through tolerance.
Islam is life for all eternity
Islam gives you respect, moreover dignity
Islam is winning hearts through honesty
Islam is giving openly in charity
Islam makes you wholesome and trustworthy
Islam is in wealth as well as in poverty
Islam is your shield against all evil
Islam is for your soul's retrieval
Islam not fundamentalism or fanaticism
Islam's not nationalism or racism
Wake up, people, Islam is here
Islam is here, so have no fear

Revealing All

Today was an odd day. It started out so perfect, I was working on my Arabic and talking to a person, we had an amazing convo about speeches and other stuff. We haven’t talk like that for a while. Then I go to English we had a double so I got all my French homework done. It was lunch at first I was so hyped about lunch because we had our Breaking Borders meeting and today the head of the committees were going to update us. Everything was going well, until a few brothers started insulting the meeting and saying how boring it is. I worked so hard for Allah sake to have the name of Islam fly with pride. That people well say, “WOW what is this breaking border club, they organize so many great events”. That people well realize that it was a Muslim initiative and that Islam is not about blowing urself up but it is about working together with other religions and cultures to make a peaceful society. It hurts, I convince a few brothers to come and the others went to the library. I expect so much from these brothers and today it felt like they stabbed me from behind. The other brothers who came and who always come are my true brothers and brothers I know I can always relay on. Khair inshallah I was down but I went to the meeting and we got some updates. Then it came time for us to present, we have been working on a script to present to culture fest. It got cut up and I know those who were criticizing it did not mean any harm but it really hurt from the inside, They totally missed the message. Whatever than I went to my Calm class and we started watching the Wedding singer we only finished 40 mins and I hated that 40 mins. It reminded of so many things that happened and my life. It was sad I could relate to the main character of the movie. After that I was down I just felt sick, felt depressed I went and prayed and my heart felt way better but I don’t know I was just down. I could not even smile. Something I love to do. That was my day at Harry Ainly School

These things were so little yet it had such a huge effect on my heart, brain and body. Why, I started to wonder why it had such a tremendous effect on me. It is because there been so many things that have been happening in my life for like the last 6 months that it just keeps on piling on that I snapped today that all my patience just ran out. SO rite now I have this aching pain in my heart, I am angry sad, upset, I feel betrayed, I feel like a failed everyone including myself, I feel rejected, and I feel alone. I feel frustration. I don’t know are these signs of depression. Am I depressed? My eyes are dry. My brain is dead, my heart is aching and my body is exhausted. I am not writing this for sympathy but for a wake up call for myself. I always give advice to people and tell them any tribulations Allah gives u a test and that we have to be prepare to ace that test. Well I guess for me is Exam week then and I have to GET up and wake myself up and ACE all the exams that Allah has given me and last 6 months. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH stop with my complaining life is amazing, I have so many thins that no one else has. WAKE up and get prepared for Allah’s test. I am going have to face all my problems head on I have been kind of ignoring all my problems and thinking it will solve itself but instead it hasn’t is just has piled up on me. So my first step is to go read the Quran and get my soul some rest and ease and some peace. Then I am going to identify all my problems and go and handle them. OH ALLAH THANK YO U FOR EVERYHTING U HAVE GIVEN ME AND ALLAH GIVE ME THE STRINGH TO OVERCOME ALL THE OBSTACLE S IN LIFE U HAVE SET FOR ME.

I feel so much better just writing down all my feelings my heart feels so much lighter.

P.s someone taught me today that when u ran away from ur problems it never gets solve but instead ur problems get more complicated and causes even more problems, so if u have a problem go and handle it before it gets too late.
