There is an exam far more important than any college exam, and that is the exam of life itself. Allah Almighty says in Surah Al Mulk,
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَٱلْحَيَوٰةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفُورُ
He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving (2)
Let's never lose track of this ultimate exam in which there is no pass or fail that is based on a grade. This is the exam that will determine our eternal life. Our examiner is our Creator, the Exalted in Might, the Most Forgiving. He is more merciful than our own mother. The syllabus of our life exam is nothing other than the Quran. The Quran is our guide and what a beautiful guide. This is a book anybody can pick up and learn and benefit from it.
May Allah grant us humility, patience and gratitude, and save us from the trial and tribulations of this life and the next. Aameen.
