Sister in Islam, don’t be afraid to change!

“Teacher… if I finish my high school I don’t want to continue my school anymore …., “said one of my students.
“Why?” I asked.
“I am afraid I can’t to do it , the lesson must be harder,” said my student.
“What do you want to be?,” I asked
“I want to be a doctor ….. teacher,”
“If you want to be a doctor, you should continue your study after high school ….,”  I gave her explanation about the ideals, dreams and hopes.

 

 

Verily Allah will not change people if they do not want to change their own destiny

Children may never understand, and even confuse of the idealism process. Education is a process that must be passed in order to be successful. Children are formed by their neighborhood/ environment, and  the ideal children must also be fully supported by the environment in which they were raised.

What if the condition does not fully support?  For instance parents who have not completed their primary school? They even do not realize the ideal of good environment for their children!

It is our duty as parents, not just teachers, to talk with our children and give them a good environment. Maybe parents are not able to educate their children but the good environment may affect our children to be more successful, insha Allah.

Most of children who study at my house are children whose parents work as unskilled labor, but they want their kids to be success more than them, subhanallah. Nobody wants their children to work like them anymore. Their goal is only one…. they want to make their children to be successful in the future.

Sister in Islam, as educator, teacher, or parent do not miss our very valuable time to speak with our children. Make them as our friends if they are grown up, make them comfortable and willing to discuss anything. We do not want our children to escape and talk their problems with somebody else right? We want to be the first listener!

Luck may be one factor for success, but should be along with strong effort and perseverance. All parents want their children to be better than their profession. The happiness of parents is when their children are successful when they grow up, parents want their children to be someone who could make proud of their family.

The promise of God will be granted if people are willing to change their own fate, with effort, prayer and ihtiar.

God never sleeps, and the wheels always go round and round , sometimes at the bottom may be next time going up, but the effort, perseverance and prayer are very important roles in order to make these expectations come true.  In all things is not enough just to pray only, but should be along with perseverance and effort. Hopefully, we belong to this kind of people. People  that is always willing to change and not people that would not change for the better. So, don’t be afraid to change!
