Build your dream brick by brick.

You might not see any immediate results, that’s natural, if you want to build a house, you will not see in front of your eyes a house just after laying the first brick. You have to be patient, persistent, keep your goal in mind and never lift your eyes off of it. The Quran says that humans were created weak (Surat An-Nisā’, 28) and impatient (Surat Al-‘Isra‘, 11) It is human’s nature to be in a hurry and expect immediate results. Therefore be positive, approach your goal little by little.

Once The Emam Ali pbuh, was on his way to the mosque on top of his horse. When he reached the mosque he told a man standing outside the mosque to watch over his horse while the Emam goes inside to pray. The man got greedy and stole the Emam’s saddle from the horse’s back and hurried to the marketplace to sell it.

While the Emam finished his prayer, he found that the man was gone and the saddle was missing, so he decided to go to the market to buy another saddle so that he can ride his horse.

Upon reaching the market, he was shocked to find his saddle displayed for sale. He asked the seller, how much will you sell this saddle? The seller replied, 10 Dirhams, the Emam asked him, how much did you buy it for? He replied, 5 Dirhams.

The Emam said; glory to God, I was planning to pay the thief 5 Dirhams for watching over my horse while I was praying, but he didn’t have any patience.

Success will come to you, leave it in the hands of god, So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. (The Bible, Luke, Chapter 11 Verse 9)

Have patience.
