Taking advice from our elders helps us become better people...we sometimes feel that we are right and we have all the, but our elders always make us see each action thorough wisdom and knowledge. I always consult my teacher whenever I embark on any new project...but this time I hadn't made my mind up and wasn't very sure if I was going to Uni. So I left it too late for any advice and the next thing I know Ramadhan has started....during this month when things were finalised...I had a dream of my teacher and she seemed 'unhappy' that I hadn't rang her in a while....but when I eventually got round to it she has left to go for Umrah.....(lucky her) and so i never got to speak to her.
Anyway just this week I spoke to her and told her about Uni...she advise me never to forget 'who you are'...always a Muslim first....She told me not to change and that I shouldn't ever have to compromise my faith for my studies...I told her that University was a challenge and that to observe Hijab is the greatest task...She advised me that I mustn't get wrapped up in the modern thinking of University and let this cloud my judgement regarding matters of my Faith. STEADFAST....was the key word....and looking back form the conversation we had it's all very true.
When I walk on campus I can feel the awkwardness at times...but I check my intention and have hope that Allah will grant me the strength to see each day through.
