Top 10 New Year Resolutions for Students

1 – Learning New Stuff:  

As a student, learning should be your top priority. While you gain more and more knowledge through your academic activities, this is not what this new year resolution is intended for here. You need to think about additional learning such as robotics, self driving cars, programming languages, reading a new book, learning to blog, launching a new website and so on. Remember the fact that gaining more and more knowledge increases your wisdom level because knowledge provides you insightful information about your field of your interest.

2 – Sustaining Health and Fitness: 

With the invention of new luxuries and online gaming, the average duration of staying active has largely deteriorated. That means students of current age are becoming lazier and lazier. The poor health stats of current youth portray confirm the same which has raised the bar for health related concerns. What adds fuel to the fire is our increased liking for fast foods and dining out more frequently and in unhealthy restaurants. This year, make a commitment to yourself to minimize eating fast foods and shift to vegetables and fruits. Further, joining a gym or any games/fitness club will also be a good idea.

3 – Reducing the clutters: 

Most of you will have tens of T-shirts, jeans, pairs of shoes, socks, bed sheets and several other fashion stuff. Also you will agree that many of these items have been there in the closet for months and have not been in use. While some of them were your favorite ones, but not anymore now. This clutter has filled in your wardrobes, drawers and store rooms etc. This year, develop the habit of 6 months rule that states: “If something has not been used for the last 6 months, there is a most likely chance that it will not be used in the next 6 months so better to give this to poor people & family around me”. Hence it is sort of imperative to get your space cleaned up by handing over such stuff to any charity organization or any poor ones near you.  

4 – Simplify Your Life Style

As a student, it is natural to shop for new shoes and garments to impress your classmates which itself is not a great personality trait, this habit increases the amount of junk in our closets. Basically what happens is that over the course of time we keep purchasing things because of our instant buying habit mixed with our intention to show-off and then eventually we dump these things in the closets or home store. As a student you may not understand it thoroughly, however the fact is that people who live simple life have a higher happiness index. Hence, in line with Resolution # 3, controlling the urge to buy more and staying simple should also be in your new year resolution list.

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : «أَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَى اللهِ أَنْفَعُهُمْ لِلنَّاسِ ، وَأَحَبُّ الأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللهِ سُرُورٌ تُدْخِلُهُ عَلَى مُسْلِمٍ أَوْ تَكْشِفُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً أَوْ تَقْضِي عَنْهُ دِينًا أَوْ تَطْرُدُ عَنْهُ جُوعًا ، وَلَأَنْ أَمْشِيَ مَعَ أَخٍ لِي فِي حَاجَةٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَعْتَكِفَ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ يَعْنِي مَسْجِدَ الْمَدِينَةِ شَهْرًا ، وَمَنْ كَفَّ غَضَبَهُ سَتَرَ اللهُ عَوْرَتَهُ ، وَمَنْ كَظَمَ غَيْظَهُ وَلَوْ شَاءَ أَنْ يُمْضِيَهُ أَمْضَاهُ مَلأَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَلْبَهُ أَمْنًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، وَمَنْ مَشَى مَعَ أَخِيهِ فِي حَاجَةٍ حَتَّى أَثْبَتَهَا لَهُ أَثْبَتَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدَمَهُ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ يَوْمَ تَزِلُّ فِيهِ الأَقْدَامُ» .

Ibn Umarؓ reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to people. The most beloved deed to Allah is to make a Muslim happy, or remove one of his troubles, or forgive his debt, or feed his hunger. That I walk with a brother regarding a need is more beloved to me than that I seclude myself (in i'itkiaf) in this mosque in Madina for a month. Whoever swallows his anger, then Allah will conceal his faults. Whoever suppresses his rage, even though he could fulfill his anger if he wished, then Allah will secure his heart on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever walks with his brother regarding a need until he secures it for him, then Allah Almighty will make his footing firm across the siraat (bridge) on the day when the footings are shaken.”

حضرت عبداللہ بن عمر‌ رضی اللہ عنہما سے مروی ہے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا: "لوگوں میں سب سے زیادہ محبوب اللہ کے ہاں وہ شخص ہے جو لوگوں کو سب سے زیادہ نفع دینے والا ہے۔ اور اللہ کو سب سے زیادہ پسندیدہ عمل وہ خوشی ہے جو مسلمان کسی دوسرے مسلمان کو دے، یا اس سے مصیبت دور کرے ،یا اس کا قرض ادا کرے یا اس کی بھوک ختم کرے۔ اور اگر میں کسی بھائی کے ساتھ اس کی ضرورت پوری کرنے کے لئے چلوں تو یہ مجھے اس مسجد (یعنی مسجد نبوی) میں ایک ماہ اعتکاف میں بیٹھنے سے زیادہ محبوب ہے۔ جس شخص نے اپنا غصہ روکا اللہ تعالیٰ اس کے عیوب پر پردہ ڈال دے گا۔ جو شخص اپنے غصے کے مطابق عمل کرنے کی طاقت کے باوجود اپنے غصے کو پی گیا، اللہ تعالیٰ قیامت کے دن اس کے دل کو امید سے بھر دے گا۔ اور جو شخص اپنے بھائی کے ساتھ اس کی ضرورت پوری ہونے تک اس کے ساتھ چلا تو اللہ تعالیٰ اسے اس دن (پُل) صراط پر ثابت قدم رکھیں گے جس دن قدم ڈگمگا رہے ہوں گے۔"

_*(ہم میں سے کون ہے جسے مسجد نبوی میں پورا ماہ اعتکاف پسند نہ ہو؟ مگر آپ ﷺ نے بھائی کی مدد کی کوشش کو اس سے زیادہ پسند فرمایا۔ آپ ﷺ کی ان تعلیمات پر عمل کی ذریعے سے ہی ایک مثالی معاشرہ وجود میں آیا جس نے صحابہ پر دنیا اور آخرت دونوں کی کامیابی کے دروازے کھول دیئے۔ اللہ سبحانہ وتعالٰی ہمیں اپنے محبوب ﷺ کی ان تعلیمات کو اپنے خاندان اور اپنے معاشرے میں دوبارہ نافذ کرنے کی توفیق عطا فرمائے۔ آمین)
