I feel like a loser

[Tempest Desh]

@BurningLight: You're way off track from the topic of this discussion. I'd hope that the OP would take some of my advice to heart (as I was actually trying to help him with his issues, as opposed to telling him to give up on his studies, etc...not meaningt to offend anyone). As a Muslim who converted to the faith after exploring many other paths and having been brought up as a Christian, I have to say that your statements only make sense in an historical narrative. Since we, as Muslims, believe that all the Prophets and Messengers were sent by the same God, who is not bound by time and space, the message is the same. No one messenger or prophet said thus and such thing first, in that sense, as the Word of God which they all brought piecemeal and which was completed with the revelation of the Q'uran, is, was, will forever be uncreated (i.e. it existed even before the World was created), whether it took one form or another, dependent on where and when it was revealed. The essence is the same (though the accomplishments of the Prophet Muhammad in revealing and guiding the people of his time (and through them and their descendants other peoples of later times) is something to marvel at. Through Islam, the Mongol hordes were civilized and three great empires (who contributed much to human civilization) were founded...on top of the other groups of Muslims who (guided by God through their faith) contributed much to the advancement of the faith. All in all, while all the Scriptures contain the divine light of God, it would instructive to contemplate the proposition that they all come from the same source and thus, all this bickering about who said what first, etc. is kind of irrelevant. Follow the Scripture that speaks to your heart and hopefully you'll be in the straight path and not fall into the pitfalls along the way to God (I believe that Islam, properly understood and practiced, has no pitfalls, except where the individual in their ignorance or weakness, attempts to introduce such things). Anywho, hope the OP was able to clear things up and straighten out his situation. If more advice is needed, as to pursuing actual academic success, I'll be ready and willing to help.

Dear brother,

I am always sad to see a post like this, but at least you are not keeping it to yourself. As one of the people who did not do particularly well in school, I can assure you that having good grades is not the only thing that matters. Your teachers and parents might sometime make you feel like it is the thing that matters the most, but - while making sure you do not disobey your parents - you should realize that education is not all about formal qualifications.

You should focus on religious education too, that will help you in understanding that not all is about grades. Real knowledge cannot be graded.

And of course it is worth for you to keep living - Allah (swt) gave you life, be thankful.

everyone goes thro a phase like that some come out quickly some come out very late , but if u really dont want to waste your important time Allah has given u come out fast . if u can tell which country and which class u belong help can be more specific . but general rule is get previous question bank of long questions , mcq books with max questions , plan your own study strategies , change strategies , by trial and error youll know the best way . very carefully take study tips from a senior but this can be lethal if u ask the wrong guy like a stupid arrogant or misleading or jeering or people who try to fool others people who lack a concience even if they r muslims . or appear religious . and then start studying little bro
the faster u realise the better no one is helpful and even if they look accomplished they dont have the capacity to think or help or be helpful to others . this specially applies to family and friends . so take stock of your own life and if u ever happen to meet a pious person better than u in studies seek help only from him .

Look brother, every person is unique in his capabilities, so you should not under estimate your self for this, if you do then it means you dont trust Allah. You should belief on him... he will surely help you out. Maybe you have something extra ordinary which you have never realize? try to search out the skills inside you....

Generally speaking, what most people think is:

good grades = good job = more money = happy life

However, a better way can be:

you do what Allah loves = Allah would do what you love = happy life

In Shaa Allah, the second way would keep you happy and motivated, with very high chances of having successful life in dunya and in Akhira. Please re check your motivations and intentions. If you make Allah the ultimate goal of your life, and based on it, do every single action with an intention of pleasing Allah, then believe me, wonders would happen.

Make dua to Allah, try your best, and then leave everything in the hands of Allah. In Shaa Allah whatever happens would, sooner or later, turn out to be for your best.

May Allah bless you with His mercy, favours and guidance. Ameen.
