In a crowded city filled with noise, dreams, and endless struggles, lived a young man named Rahim. He was known among his friends as someone who never gave up. He had big dreams—dreams of success, respect, and a better life for his family.
Rahim worked day and night. He studied hard, applied for jobs, and kept pushing forward despite all the rejections. But no matter how much effort he put in, things never seemed to go his way.
Every interview ended the same.
"We're sorry… you're not selected."
At first, Rahim stayed strong.
"It's okay," he would tell himself. "Maybe something better is coming."
But as time passed, his confidence slowly began to fade.
One evening, after another rejection, Rahim sat alone in a small park. The sky was turning dark, and the streetlights were beginning to glow.
He looked around and saw people laughing, talking, enjoying their lives.
And for the first time, he felt completely lost.
"Why me, Allah?" he whispered.
"I try so hard… but nothing works."
Tears filled his eyes.
That night, Rahim didn't sleep. He kept thinking about his failures, his struggles, and the pressure he felt from everyone around him.
The next morning, something unexpected happened.
Rahim received a call.
It was from a company he had applied to months ago.
"Hello, is this Rahim? We'd like you to come for an interview."
Rahim's heart raced.
He couldn't believe it.
The interview day came.
Rahim wore his best clothes, prepared himself well, and walked into the office with hope in his heart.
But this time, something felt different.
Instead of being nervous, he felt calm.
He answered every question with honesty and confidence.
A few days later, he got the news—
He got the job.
Rahim couldn't hold back his tears.
After so many rejections, after so much pain—finally, something worked.
But the story didn't end there.
A few months later, Rahim discovered something shocking.
That same company he had always dreamed of working for—the one that rejected him multiple times—suddenly shut down due to financial problems.
Rahim sat in silence, realizing something deep.
"If I had gotten that job… I would have lost everything today."
At that moment, everything made sense
