Change

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. The Quran says:


"For each one are successive [angels] before and behind him who protect him by the decree of Allah. Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when Allah intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides Him any patron."

"Bagi tiap-tiap seorang ada malaikat penjaganya silih berganti dari hadapannya dan dari belakangnya, yang mengawas dan menjaganya (dari sesuatu bahaya) dengan perintah Allah. Sesungguhnya Allah tidak mengubah apa yang ada pada sesuatu kaum sehingga mereka mengubah apa yang ada pada diri mereka sendiri. Dan apabila Allah menghendaki untuk menimpakan kepada sesuatu kaum bala bencana (disebabkan kesalahan mereka sendiri), maka tiada sesiapapun yang dapat menolak atau menahan apa yang ditetapkanNya itu, dan tidak ada sesiapapun yang dapat menolong dan melindungi mereka selain daripadaNya." (QS 13:11)

When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves. You cannot change the circumstances, You cannot change what you see, and You cannot change what you hear, but you can change yourself. Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.
