It’s important to keep our end goal in mind. Ustadh Michael Wolfender presents Allah's perfect example how focusing on Jannah lifts the spirit of the believer through tough times. The answer is in working for the best reward.

Swallowing anger, forgiving mistakes and seeking Allah’s forgiveness is just part of the solution Ustadh Michael details in this episode on how to achieve Allah’s promise.

We’re now on the 4th juz and Surah Ali ‘Imran (Family of Imran) which teaches keeping the end goal in mind. This surah was revealed after the battle of Uhud, where Muslims faced hardship when soldiers did not obey, resulting in 70 from their army killed. Brother Michael refers to Ayat 132 - 136 when Allah recognized the Muslims’ hardship and sadness. The lesson: obey Allah and His Messenger peace be upon him and Allah will shower His Mercy on you. Rush towards forgiveness from your Master and Paradise is as wide as the universe. Don’t let the ups and downs of daily routines bog you down. Focus on earning Allah’s forgiveness and earning Paradise. Spend on others, swallow anger and overlook mistakes. Forgive others and let go of anger. Ask Allah for forgiveness when you make a mistake and rush for Paradise, focusing on the Hereafter. For this, Allah offers descriptions of rivers flowing for eternal enjoyment.
