Get Motivated! Get Inspired! This video has some of the greatest motivation and inspiration from one of the best speakers of our time, Eric Thomas.

True and praiseworthy fear is that which comes between its possessor and what Allah Most High has prohibited. If it transcends beyond this, it could become hopelessness and despair. Praiseworthy hope is when a person performs acts of obedience through a light from Allah and anticipates His reward, or when one commits a sin and then repents to Allah hoping for forgiveness.

The problem comes in when we make the world become the goal and not the means to the ultimate goal. The world is a place where we are for a time, and all that is in this world should be used for or avoided with the ultimate goal of pleasing Allah in mind. Our goal is not to be as rich, or as powerful, or as comfortable as we possibly can in this life. This life is just a means to the hereafter where what we do in this world will determine our position with Allah.

In this video, advice is given on how we shouldn’t be sad, when life gets tough and there’s no body for us, no one to listen to us, no one to make us happy, that there is someone who will always love us and that is Allah [S] and he tells us in the Qur’an, that after every hardship there is going to be ease, and he repeats the verse again to emphasis that through hardship there is always ease.

And one of the most remarkable stories of a woman from Egypt, she said: that I came from a very poor family and my husband was absent and my daughter became very ill on one particular evening, she began to fever like never before, and I couldn’t do nothing for her, see what happened next.
