run away or face it??

My mom often said to me when i'm having a problem or having to make a choice or decission. "solve the problem, don't fight the problem". Fighting the problem won't solve it, but you're just beating about the bushes.

"i'm not good in add maths, i don't want take the exam!"
but why not, "i'm not good in add maths, i need to find somebody that can help me"

You see, fighting versus solving. To solve is to face the problem, not running away from it.

And I always believe that the only way to overcome your fear is by facing it.Running away, avoiding, keeping yourself at safe distance from it, these are what most people do.

In our lives, we will always come to many points where we have to make decisions, and it'll always start with 2 choice. face it or run away from it. But, from the way I see it, choosing either one will stiil lead to one point, which is to FACE it.







Running away will only create postponement, and later on, you will still have to face it. So, we don't really have much of choice, do we?

These are Allah's test for us, and we can't run away from the test. They are parts of our lives that we cannot evade. This is what life is all about, to be tested if we are doing a good job or not as His slave. Each and every and one of our decission will be questioned in the Day of Judgement. We don't have to woory whether we suceed or failed. What matters is the decision we chose, and how we work for it. For His pleasure, or other than that.

Same goes to da'wah. Some people may wanted to fend off such responsibility, thinking that they are not fit for such pose or to carry that burden. But let me affirm you that Allah has promised that Islam will rise again and wiil be victorious someday.When that time comes, where would you like to be? Among those who are fighting for the victory, those who simply share the victory, or the ones who take side against Islam and defeated? This, I leave you to ponder on..
