Beloved Hafiz Qasim (Hafizakallah),
Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah.
Please help! I’m really tired of everything. School, studying, Madrasah. Especially with exams coming up. I can’t take this ‘routine’ anymore. I just want to throw in the towel and live a peaceful life. I’m so stressed and exhausted. Why does this have to be my life? I literally hate it right now!!! I’m just ‘gatvol’. I’ll be so much happier if I leave school and Madrasah all together, and chill at home. There’s nothing wrong with being at home at my age. I’m still young and this never-ending routine just isn’t it.
وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته
Respected Sister,
May Allah Ta’ala grant you all the success in whatever you choose.
I do realise that you have a resentment towards the “school routine” but I just want to remind you that life will demand that you do something for yourself. Don’t try to escape, but rather embrace the challenges. Again, do what you want to do. Don’t do anything that you are forced to, because by wrong choices, you will only become more miserable.
With regards to Madrassa, I really don’t think you should feel bad about a routine. Remember, a routine creates discipline and makes you a stronger person. Most importantly, commitment to Allah Ta‘ala is a lifelong affair. Always remember that!
