Thanks mj and ad for the support, you have no idea how much you have calm me down.

May you find the true success in this worl and hereafter.

The whole Quran has this unbelievable way of amazing me. Its beautifully poetic verses and breath taking words just settle in my heart and mind so warmly. Though the whole Quran has the power to make me feel like everything will be okay, there is one verse that absolutely wins my heart. That verse is "On no soul doth Allah place a burden greater than it can bear" 2:286. (This verse is also repeated in 6:152, 7:42 and 65:7).

I can not think of any other verse in the Quran that empowers me as much as this one does.

On NO soul does Allah place a burden GREATER than it can bear.

yeah drsaima, our Holy Book has all that we need....when we are down, we can recite Surah Rehman and there we have:::::: an amazing feel that takes us out of the sadness..and Surah Yaseen to gives us the confidence that there is SomeOne, so Strong and Powerful, and He will take us to the shore when we are drowning!

I strongly believe that if we work hard, really work hard.........and ask Almighty for His Blessings......the best will be ours!

Best of luck buddy!

Yesterday I did just half lec of patho... I thought could have done, one chap physio and one lect goljan... but... 1. I wasted time, 2. I had to go 6-7 times outside, for pick and drop kids, as it was raining, but the main thing is I wasted time.

Today, my home is so messy right now... i just want to get up and clean it, BUT... I wont do that... I will do first study and later after 12.00 cleaning and cooking. I can do it inshaAllah, I can ... Ican grin

I am learning to be positive abt myself... this guilt always lead to hopelessness. So , I will just repent, and start InshaAllah

In Ramdhan I can study 5 hrs monday to thurs only, and I just have to study at least one hour on Sat , Sun. Friday Off!

O Allah help me.. with your help everything is possible.

@ Dowjunk: thanks for the comments, You are so right ... if we have Quran... we can get all the strength from it.... and this month is so special... I should be the most energized in it.

@mjbapana : You are my hero nod we should meet sometime grin

@ AD : How is your studies goingf? I will check in your home journal. please remember me in your prayers.

So todays task:

One lecture of Goljan, and physio 1chapter. Qbank 10 qs.

If its not done... I WILL NOT BEAT MYSELF... I will just try everyday. I will reward myself if I will complete my task, by ... hmmm by what...

You suggest grin

saima
ur doing good.........dont worry ull do it
have faith in u

  #136

Wow!!Saima. u r doing absolutely great!! take it one step at a time. Dont feel guilty, above all start where u left off dont go back to the begining yet there is time enough for that.work towards finishing what u have started.

my opinion about q bank - q book: it depends on how much time u have for the exam. for the exam and to learn concepts UW is better so u want to spend more time with UW. if u r able to give enough time to finish q bank and the uw world excellent if u cant then i think Q book would be a better option. do q' book along with u r prep and then once u finish the 1 st reading along with q book u can do UW.

but thats just my opinion. u should look at every body's advice and do what suits u r purpose best.

praying for u always.

Hmmm.. just heared half of glojan 2nd lecture yesterday, wasted a lot of time, not good ....I am ashamed, but I should recover, I will inshaAllah... no frustration... just move on ( I should join moveon.orgwink), So todays task,. goljan remaing 2nd lecture and 3rd lecture today, plus physio remaining 1st chapter and 2nd chapter.

All my guests are gone now... home is very empty.... and kind a sad... everyone is missing them. But now we have to move on..... I have to get back to study, kids, their home work, ramdhan, have to fix every ones closet, cook, have to join PTA. etc...and study study study.

@ Dr123, thx for the support... I need it badly smiling face

@drusha, how are you? I needed that.

@mj; I have been thinking abt your leg, how is it? You know... I tried to read both qbank and qbook, right every thing is flying 2 feet above my head.. i am jsut reading for the sake of getting use to the style... cant understand questions now.... so may be one day I will be able to solve some.I will sure use uw after my first read.thx yaar for being my buddy.cool


  #138

Saima, u r doing good, i didnt touch questions until i was done 2 time reading, and i am like, i dont retain anything in one or 2 reading. but its better to start questions earlier i guess, it help u think, because when u read, u dont think much, and if u are not asked, or challenged by a question, u dont know what u have learned. u will get there friend! keep going!nod
