How can we differentiate whether a sign from God indicates stopping or trying harder? After failing an exam despite studying and praying, should I persist or see it as a sign to stop? How can one discern whether it is a hint to work harder or to halt?
Failing an exam does not mean a sign to stop trying. We need to put more efforts to reach to our lawful aims as much as we can. There is no question of haunting our efforts to achieve more as far as the aim is practicality possible and good for us and others.
‘Failure should encourage us to work harder avoiding the reasons of the failure.
‘Supplication and seeking from Allah (SWT) is our weapon as the Hadeeth states: Supplication is the weapon of the believer الدعاء سلاح الؤمن
We need to seek help from Allah to achieve our noble aims.
Wassalam.
