Blaming it on secularism - Part One of Many

                             بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْم

Salam Zulkaedah, 

My mistakes in this posting is of my own. 

Allah SWT is Perfection.

I only have the best of intentions. The opinion put forth here is personal. 

All that are beneficial comes only from Allah SWT. 


SubhanAllah Walhamdulillah. 


One of the concepts which is a product of secularism is the 'misguided' concept of being realistic. 

it's my humble opinion. 

Why is that so? 

Isn't being realistic a good thing? Some may say, "sure. it's like being grounded to reality"

then one might question, "what reality?"

is "reality" is something perceivable and within our reach? within our control?

i guess so. but are we sure that everything is within our control? 

how about Allah SWT? isn't God the Ultimate Reality?

have we factored Allah SWT in the scheme of things?

if we have, that covers everything then. our effort with guidance and sustenance from God.  

that's the reality. 

therefore, being realistic is having the belief that we shall do the best possible under the current circumstances and trusting God to guide us. 

Someone may tell me that it's easy for me to say all that because i have reached a certain experience and a certain comfort zone. that's true. it's Allah SWT's will that i didn't have to go through what young graduates are going through now searching for a good start in their career - when i was starting out being in a career, which Alhamdulillah have been in this profession for 27 years already. 

they way i look at it is this - pursue your studies in the field that you're inclined to, eventhough it is Engineering.

it's true that the consultancy practice, which pay is sourced from the professional fees the Practice get from Client - may not be as attractive as say, Oil & Gas (when times are good though). 

don't think too much about the remuneration. think about what you're doing as an ibadah and ask from Allah SWT for guidance and sustenance. 

inshaAllah. 

From Surah Al-Baqarah : 153 - "O YOU who have attained to faith! Seek aid in steadfast patience and prayer: for, behold, God is with those who are patient in adversity."

From Surah Al-Baqarah : 286 - "God does not burden any human being with more than he well able to bear."

From Surah As-Sharh : 5 to 6 - "And, behold, with every hardship comes ease: verily, with every hardship comes ease!"

SubhanAllah. Walhamdulillah.

Wassalam,

 In the name of Allah SWT The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace. The Beneficient, The Merciful  (read on the concept of ar-Rahman with respect to the womb of a mother and apply the word 'most' next to it. If we think that the concept of the womb is to protect the child (please think of it as a child and not some embryonic stage which sounds cool in Science but no self-respecting mom would call 'embryo, zygot, etc etc etc'. A mom would say, he or she is 'my baby'.)).  i capitalized S in Science because of the awe i have for His Wisdom endowed upon the human being, past, present and future until the Last Day.  His Wisdom He allowed the human being to have. Whatever we as human beings know right now based on experience, empirical of Laws of nature (Allah SWT's Decree and the concept of "Be... and it is"..and interestingly enough, what is the relationship between "Be...and it is" with "The Six Aeons"is something I will be guided...
