A Love gift for Amal Family

Shifa Ellah
3 min readOct 16, 2020

Once, I asked a question to my mother, ‘According to you, what is life?’. She answered, ‘Life is too tough and it’s difficult to live there nicely.’ Then I said, ‘No, I don’t agree with you because Zaroon says ZINDAGI GULZAR HAI (It is the famous dialogue from Pakistani Drama Serial and Zaroon was the hero in it)’. I answered it funnily. As time passed, I felt that my mother was right, life is hard. These are my reviews before joining the Amal Academy about life. Then, I joined it and the experience was incredible for me because it changed my thoughts. Amal’s family helped me to become a better person.

The journey of glory to gratitude.

In my first-week project work, there was work that was assigned to us to write Amal Values in your room and share a picture with them. To go for this task, I asked my father to buy some charts and colors for me. Then, I started to work on it. I was touching colors, glitters, and art objects after a long time. I remembered my childhood when I created cards for my friends and teachers. I have forgotten that colored life. Thanks a lot, Amal Academy for engaging me in colors. In the end, I designed some frames and wrote each Amal Value on them.

Amal Values

In the first two weeks, I did not have too much understanding of the fellowship. The reason behind that was that my university announced that they would take our online papers. I was not mentally prepared for it. Therefore, I did not focus on fellowship. Many fellows tried to engage me to speak in the online sessions. They texted me that if you need any kind of help then we are there to help you. Firstly, I managed my time. Our group cooperated with me and guided me. Secondly, I got a lot of appreciation from my group members. I learned that appreciation provides us energy and increases our work capacity. Lastly, I learned how to help others and how to answer them without being irritating.

My first group at Amal Academy.

I discovered that I am a passionate person about my future and have a lot of potentials to work. I understood that there are a lot of problems in everyone’s life. I acknowledge that how can I learn from my problems and convert into my success. I don’t know where I will stand in the next ten years, I just know that whatever I will achieve in my future because of Amal Academy

As the Quran says,

“So, Indeed along with hardship, there is ease (Ash-Sharh)”.
