</span>Be it of this world or of religion, nothing can be accomplished without courage.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>You take courage, be mindful of the majesty of Allah Most High and always remember death.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>You consider this world to be an inn for travelers and your heart will turn away from this world and will turn to Almighty Allah.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>Salaat and remembrance of Allah (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Dhikr</i>) will be going on.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana">Son!<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>Is there a thing that humans cannot accomplish?<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>However, some courage is required for this which leads one to conquer even unreachable forts.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>With the same courage, eventually, the fort of the heart will also be conquered.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana">Son!<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>You might have seen insects whose aim seems to be to climb walls.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>They take courage and start climbing.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>They climb a bit and fall back.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>Then they again take courage and climb.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>They barely climb some distance that they are again back to square one.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>This goes on happening, but congratulations be to their courage that they don&rsquo;t lose courage and then a time comes when they scale the wall and accomplish their objective.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana">Son!<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>Human beings are the cream of all creation (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Ashraf Ul Makhlooqaat</i>).<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>Even if one falls dozens of times, one shouldn&rsquo;t lose courage and eventually one day, the objective will be accomplished.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>You take courage and Almighty Allah Himself will help you and this is what leads to steadfastness.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana">Every work is accomplished with a firm resolve.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>Make a resolve, then see how Almighty Allah helps you.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana">Laziness and carelessness is not suitable for the lovers of Almighty Allah.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>The main reason is that you haven&rsquo;t used your courage.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>There is nothing in the world which is impossible.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>Get up!<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>Gird your loins!<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>Then you will not miss your daily <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Dhikr</i> ever again.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana">Hadhrat Yousuf Asbaat (May Allah shower His mercy on him) says:<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>The value of a man is as per his courage.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>If his courage is only for worldly affairs, then he has no value and if his courage is for the affairs of the hereafter, then it is not at all possible to estimate the value of such a person.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana">Hadhrat Pirane Pir Ghouse Azam Dastagir (May Allah shower His mercy on him) says:<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>Courage is that one removes the love of the world from the heart and the hereafter from the soul and through the heart annihilates one&rsquo;s wish before the wish of Allah and removes laziness from one&rsquo;s inner self (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Batin</i>).</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana">Hadhrat Noori (May Allah shower His mercy on him) says:<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp;

</span>O man!<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>You are so old and weak.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>It is surprising as to how you could be patient.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>He said:<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>Son!<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>Misfortunes are bore with courage not with the body.<br /> <br /> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: right;">[Excerpted from Mawaaiz-e-Hasana, Vol 1, Pg.
