.:... It's not that easy ...:.

Assalamualaikum wrt...

What would you say to someone who had just finished another exam and was ranting how hard it was? Fearing that they did bad? Thinking of the worst possible outcome? Will you say...

1. Been there, done that, and I survived. You will too. It's not that hard
Sure... everything seems easy after you've passed it.

2. There's loads who failed before. You're not the first. Don't worry
I don't wanna be amongst those who failed no matter how high the absolute risk is.

3. Auuuwwww... dun be sad, honey. You'll do fine.
I know how I did. If i say it's bad, then it's bad. I can judge it myself

4. I understand... It was hard for me too. U know, I got this Q and...
~sigh~ can you just listen for a while..?

5. You did your best. The rest is now in Allah's hands. Have faith
... I know... I know... but... it's easier said than done...

Irony. No wonder I don't know how to console others with all these possiblities in mind. It's easy to come up with a response. But to hold from responding and just listen, that takes practice.

Ya Allah... berikanlah aku kefahaman para nabi, ingatan para rasul, dan ilham para malaikat yg berada di sisi mu... Ya Allah Ya Rahman.. tenangkanlah perasaan hamba-Mu ini. Berkatilah ilmu yang Engkau berikan kepadaku. Kepada Engkaulah aku sembah, dan kepada Engkaulah aku memohon pertolongan. Dan jadikanlah aku dalam kalangan orang yang bersyukur dan sentiasa ingat kepada-Mu...
