direction & potential

From the sincerity of our teachers:

Everybody has a different wijhah or direction: some people take to worshipping constantly, others in the service of others (khidma), some take to studying, others just read; the pathways to Allah are multiple, so long as you strive in goodness. (Sh H)

When you don't know what to do:

You do very well to follow your heart and search for your niche. Ask Allah Most High to enlighten you in your choice, choose what you do best and consult for a better decision. Imam Nawawi for example studies anatomy for a while or medicine, then left it as he knew if was not for him. Similarly Imam Suyuti said he never quite took to logic or maths but shone in language, tafsir, hadith and law. (Sh GFH)

May Allah (most gracious) illuminate our hearts, and enlighten our decisions!
