**Source:**Muslim Teens… Today’s Worry, Tomorrow’s Hope
Good grades aren’t everything
Neither are looks
If people don’t like you, hey, Allah loves you
If you feel like you’re worth nothing,
You’re wrong
You are a Muslim
And that’s a reason enough to live
Not just live but live proud
Do you think the pretty are happy?
Do you think the popular are happy?
Do you thikn the intelligent are happy?
They don’t know the meaning of life
They feel a constant void, a gap, an emptiness.
They will eventually search madl to find an answer
An answer that you were born knowing
Life changes, people change, you think it’s not fair
And you’re right, it’s not
But life is not fair, it’s a test
Tests don’t always come in form of enormous
Moral dilemmas, catastrophes that you watch on the news
Quite often, they’re so small you overlook them
Or silently wonder why they happened to you
A bad mark is a test
A bad techer is a test
Having no friends is a test
Complaining won’t solve anything
Praying will
You are a Muslim
Your ultimate goal is to worship Allah (SWT)
Serve Allah, Please Allah
Not to please your friends, your teachers, your society
Will they defend you in the hereafter?
Will they even know your name in the hereafter?
Will they even know your name in 10 years?
Let’s keep our goal in mind
Stay focused and work towards it.
“I put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord! There is not a moving creature, but He has a grasp of its forelock. Verily, my Lord is on the straight path. (The truth)”
(11:55-56)
