The End is in Sight
Salaams,
So as you should know by now, i have been incredibly busy recently with work and exam prep. This, this and this amongst other things have been occupying me at work but alhamdulilla i am genuinely finding it all interesting so that's good.
Anyway on the exam front, the end is indeed in sight with the exam on this coming Saturday...as i think i mentioned, my workplace is pretty much making me do a course which will help me in my job...the problem is that most people do it as part of their course when at uni or when they're working part time...not when they're already doing a 60hr week...! Plus on top of that it's supposed to be a killer exam which requires 250hrs of study and ends up with only 35% of people sitting it passing...
I've tried to do as much as i can on it, and today i did a mock exam at the training centre and alh did OK, but this final week is gonna be make or break time. However, having spent all this time studying for this exam and spending all this time at work, i'm thinking more and more about the purpose of it all. What's the pont? essentially. If we Really do believe this life is a transitory phase, why are we willing to put soooo much effort for this finite world, but very little for the infinite hereafter...? It's not uncommon for people at uni to do 12 hr revision days for a good couple of weeks, but when do we think it needy to spend that amount of time preparing for the hereafter...? I mean how many hours per week to we purposely set aside for Deeni affairs? What % of hours from the week is this..? Of course there's nothing wrong in seeking comfort in this life; rabbana athina fidhunya hasana etc, but getting the balance and getting the priorities right is key, and this is something i think most, including foremost myself, need to re-evaluate...
Wow, got all a bit serious there...anyway, iA after my exams i should be going to New York for a week with work so quite looking forward to that. However, as ever, i've been told it will be quite busy so won't really get much time to check things out but iA i'm gonna fly a day early and meet up with a bro i met in Jordan so there should be Some time to chill out.
Anyway, the zzzzs are calling.
Salaam.
