"I'm scared. I'm scared. I'm scared."

Allah said: stop. Don't be scared.

قَالَ لَا تَخَافَآ ۖ إِنَّنِى مَعَكُمَآ أَسْمَعُ وَأَرَىٰ

"I am with you. Why would you be scared?"

You see this path of living a life of purpose? It's scary. It's not easy. There are so many distractions that we would love to immerse ourselves in. But there is a solution.

The Command: Go Forth and Remember

Allah says:

ٱذْهَبْ أَنتَ وَأَخُوكَ بِـَٔايَٰتِى وَلَا تَنِيَا فِى ذِكْرِى

"Go on this mission and do not stop remembering Me."

The Secret to Steadfastness

The secret to continuing and staying on the life of purpose — and reaching your goal, and solving the real problems on this earth — so you can stand in front of Allah and say: "O Allah, You gave me these years, and this is what I did with it."

The secret to steadfastness, and continuity, and longevity is the continuous remembrance of Allah.
