Preparation for Exams

[Copy.&.Paste]

"Question
As-Salam `Alaykum. Sometimes, I face a difficulty in exams. At that time,
I feel that I am at a loss. I really don’t know what to do! Is there any
Qur’anic verse I can recite at that time?


Answer
Wa`alaykum As-Salamu Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

In The Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon
His Messenger.

Dear brother in Islam, thank you very much for having confidence in us,
and we implore Allah to grant you remarkable success and ease your
difficulty, Amen.

Generally speaking, you should implore Allah to help you make the best use
of your time during the school days in a beneficial way, and to enable you
to serve Him better. Always realize that success is from Allah Alone,
which means that you should seek His Guidance. Implore Him to make you
complete your studies quickly from school and to apply what you have
learned.

Also, ask Him to help you apply Islam while at school, by not missing
prayers and by coordinating your efforts with other Muslims for good
causes that are beneficial to the Muslim Ummah.

Seeking Allah’s Help not only reminds us of our Lord, but also puts
everything into its rightful place. It reminds us that we are so
completely dependent upon Allah, whilst He is free of any need.

Thus, whoever Allah is with, then that person is a troop, which is never
defeated, and a soldier who does not fall and a guide who does not
mislead.

Focusing more on your question in point, Sheikh Ja`far Ahmad At-Tahlawi,
the prominent Azharite scholar, states:

“If you face any difficulty during the exams or even if you want to
achieve remarkable success in gaining useful knowledge, you should implore
Allah from the depth of your heart to grant you that useful knowledge and
to make things easy for you. It is also better to implore Allah while
reciting the following verses:

“(Moses) said: My Lord! Relieve my mind. And ease my task for me; And
loose a knot from my tongue. That they may understand my saying.” (Taha:
25-28 )"

اللهم انفعني بما علمتني وعلمني ما ينفعني اللهم اني أسألك فهم النبيين وحفظ المرسلين المقربين اللهم اجعل لساني عاما بذكرك وقلبي بخشيتك انك على ما تشاء قدير وأنت حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل

"Allahumma infa'nii bimaa 'allamtanii wa'allimnii maa yanfa'uunii. Allahumma inii as'aluka fahmal-nabiyyen wa hifzal mursaleen al-muqarrabeen. Allahumma ijal leesanee 'aiman bi dhikrika wa qalbi bi khashyatika. Innaka 'ala ma-tasha'u qadeer wa anta hasbun-allahu wa na'mal wakeel."

"Oh Allah! Make useful for me what you have taught me and teach me knowledge that will be useful to me. Oh Allah! I ask you for the understanding of the prophets and the memory of the messengers, and those nearest to you. Oh Allah! Make my tongue full of your remembrance and my heart with consciousness of you. Oh Allah! You do whatever you wish, and you are my availer and protector and best of aid.
