The destruction of ambition.

We live in a world where Senior citizens have more ambition than people in their 30s and 40s.

It’s really sad.

The beauty of Islam is that it has intrinsic methods that help us be ambitious.

Competing for doing good, striving for the akhirah, having optimism as the default perspective on life.

What was the Prophet ﷺ except ambitious in his purpose, sending letters to different rulers to spread the message of Islam?

What was the Prophet ﷺ except resilient in his purpose, never giving up and making sure Islam was spread far and wide, long after he was gone?

What was the Prophet ﷺ except optimistic in his purpose, telling the people that the lands of Syria and Persia will be conquered by the Muslims, even though they were still a small group in Madinah?

Resilience and ambition are a core component of being a Muslim, and we need to make sure our children are told to live a life of ambition, purpose, and fulfillment that leads us closer to Allah.

The modern conglomerate of sedating addictions is the enemy, be it literal or digital drugs, paralyzing ambition and purpose.
