I saw this term (Personal Calling) in the introduction to Paolo Coelho's book 'The Alchemist' and remembered this verse...
wa li kullin wij-hatun huwa muwalleehaa...
"To each is a goal to which Allah turns him..." (2:148)
... which I read in Shaykh Yusuf al-Qardhaawi's book 'Islamic Awakening Between Rejection and Extremism' a couple days earlier.
ps. There is an alternative understanding of this verse - alternative not conflicting.
pps. Recommended Listening...
