The wonders of Al-Quran

So I started this semester with hatred, negative spirit and I was really turning on my lazy mode. I knew what I felt and what I did were wrong but I just couldn't let it go. I was so frustrated with my studio result. After all the extended pressure, after so much money spent on printing, after so much dedication of never failing in attending crits, they were all seem..useless. I was positive that my grade will increase after all the addition of drawings during portfolio and such but turned out, no. My grade is still slightly better than those who failed to complete the submission. SO UNFAIR.

I lived with that feeling. I was so angry and frustrated that everytime anyone mentioning about studio result, I would dismiss myself from public, find a hidden space and began to cry. Yes I was so angry to that extend. Everything was mixed up.

My prof. hadn't done his job properly.
Favouritsm still exist.
People just see physical beauty bla bla.

The satan kept whispering all those bad thoughts.

When I realize this emotion cannot be prolonged, that was when I saw a poster saying:

Gembira? Bacalah Al-Quran.

Sedih? Bacalah Al-Quran.

Marah? Bacalah Al-Quran.

I have never been so dedicated in reciting Al-Quran before this but this time, I really need to force myself. Every solat, I ended with 2 pages of Al-Quran. I drove myself to the mosque and try to be in jemaah. I tried everything that I can so that the negative thought would fly away and leave a peaceful mind and kindness to forgive & accept my weaknesses. It was not easy but after consistently doing what Islam has always preach, I was gradually (almost in 2 weeks time) started to accept the fact. 

I really believe this is the power of Al-Quran. Why? Because another friend of mine who faced same situation like mine, still bearing grudge towards that prof.This was claimed by herself that she just couldnt keep the consistency of reciting Al-Quran everyday. Hopefully she'll find the peace soonest. And may we all do.
