nothing is easy, but..

sedang tunggu turn nak exam skill lab. lagi kira-kira 10 minit mereka harus masuk ke ruangan skill lab sebelum lonceng untuk 3 minit terakhir berbunyi. kelihatan dia duduk sambil mulutnya terkumat-kamit perlahan; masih menghafal.  seorang teman tumpang duduk di sebelahnya. lengan teman ditarik, 

"nervous la.."

"nervous jugak.. emm, jom baca doa ni. best." senyum meyakinkan.

"nak nak, ajarkan.." terlihat rekahan senyum dalam gelisah.

"Allahumma la sahla illa ma ja’altahu sahla, wa ‘anta taj-alul hazna idha shi’ta sahla.." satu per satu dituturkan perlahan.

dia mengikut lafaz doa tersebut.

"maksudnya kan, ya Allah.. tiada yang mudah melainkan apa yang Engkau mudahkan. Engkau yang  menjadikan kesedihan itu lenyap bila Engkau mudahkan. best kan maksud dia." 

"owh..doa ni. sebelum ni selalu baca yang BM punya je. yang makna dia tu."

"xpe.. boleh je. Allah tahu apa yang kita nak kan." 

mereka tersenyum tenang.

it was narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 

اللهُمَّ لا سَهْلَ إلا مَا جَعَلتَهُ سَهْلا وَ أنتَ تَجْعَلُ الحزْنَ إذا شِئْتَ سَهْلا 

“O Allah , nothing is easy but that which You make easy and You can make hardship easy if You will.”

[narrated by Ibn Hibbaan, 3/255; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 2886]

a very beautiful supplication for those whose affairs become difficult. not only for exam, it is applicable in any situation of difficulties in our lives. may Allah make our lives easy and take away all the calamities. :)

soul_diagnosis: "Never lose hope. Stay close to Allah and when you mess up, go back to Him. Never, ever stop going back to Him. Repent often. Cry to Allah. And hold on tight—with your life—to His remembrance and to prayer. If you do this, you may get wet, but insha Allah never drown in this ocean of dunya."-yasmin mogahed. :') 

#1 soul-amelioration: go back to Him, stay close.
