"Don't give up - a Islamic story..
In a small village lived a girl named Mehreen. Mehreen had a very tender heart and a very sharp mind, but there was a great difficulty in her life. Her parents were poor, and had no money to send their daughter to a good school. Mehreen's greatest wish was to get an education and support her parents, but lack of resources was a major obstacle.
Mehreen's heart was very troubled, but she had some passion in her that she wanted to do something big in her life. She often told her mother, "Mom, I want something to change in my life." His mother always gave him prayers and words of encouragement. One day his mother said, "Son, put your trust in Allah. Your hard work will never be wasted."
Mehreen took her mother's words to heart and resolved that she would not give up on her hard work under any circumstances. She thought she would do whatever she could. She started reading whatever books were available to read in her small village. Mehreen also felt many times that she had few resources and people often made fun of her education, but she never gave up.
One day an academic competition was going to be held in the village. Mehreen decided that she would enter the competition. There was a fear in her heart, she was afraid that people would make fun of her if she lost, but she surrendered her fear to the pleasure of Allah and started preparing for the competition. She had no tutors or good resources, but Mehreen worked hard. She used to study all night and was busy with her work all day.
On the day of the competition, Mehreen was very nervous, but she said in her heart, "Oh God, make my hard work successful." When the competition began, Mehreen trusted in God's help and tried to perform to the best of what she had learned. Answered questions one by one and kept his spirits high.
Finally, when the results of the competition were announced, Mehreen's name was at the top. She had won! Mehreen's success made the villagers surprisingly happy. His hard work and determination led him to success.
That day Mehreen learned that no matter how difficult life may be, if a person trusts in Allah and does not slack off in his efforts, success is not impossible. His story not only became a lesson for the villagers, but also showed his parents that with hard work and determination, life can change.
Mehreen's secret to success lay in her constant hard work, faith in God, and determination to never give up. His story is still told today to convey the message that "Don't lose heart, Allah's help is always there."
"Allah always helps those who put their trust in him and work hard."
