To persist in resistance until Allah makes a way for you is a path fraught with sacrifices.

Some may not comprehend the magnitude of these sacrifices until they themselves endure them. Perhaps the best way to make them understand is to leave them behind and move forward, although it's not an act of cowardice.

No one will hold you accountable if you withdraw your hand from those who sit idly, offering unsolicited advice without an inkling of knowledge. They have not learned the art of leadership. If you were to put them in a boat on a river – not a sea – they would drown themselves!

What about navigating a large ship in a stormy sea, with days that cast down the mightiest? The workers of Allah on earth do not inherit wealth, but they receive it from the hands of fate with dignity and grace.

They do not inherit status; rather, it's a garment bestowed upon them by Allah, the dignified. Do not underestimate them as ignorant of what is going on around them. They simply caress patience, sipping silence, with the motto: when someone comes to us with a request, we accept it graciously, seeking no reward or gratitude from them. We walk towards Allah with them, expecting neither reward nor thanks.

You haven't boarded the boat, climbed the ladder of rescue, carried the wounded, yelled at the tyrants, pushed the ship, raised the sturdy foundations, or spent sleepless nights in despondency. Your neck is burdened with the sick, hungry, and needy, and your heart manages their affairs before your hands.

Finally, I don't have many success stories from battles I won, but I have what might astonish you: the sheer number of battles I fought broken yet undefeated.

To remain steadfast, standing on your feet after heavy days, is the essence of success. It's not about achieving the goal; it's about remaining steadfast. Some know how to start but not how to finish. The true hero is the one who knows how to start, how to persevere, and how to finish.
