I have watch the video from you tube by Mufti Ismail Menk about never give up. He said every people will face an examination in their life, and they will try very hard to success in the examinations. We have an examination in order to qualify ourselves to get to the next level and as we progress in life the examinations become more and more difficult and we know that without working hard we do not achieve the success.

Then, he mention about the common saying "mann jaddaa wa jada' Arabic proverb which mean whoever works very hard will definitely see the fruit of that particular working. So just like we have people who fail because they did not work hard. It same goes the issue with the deen, where as we progress in life we have more tests and they become more difficult until we meet with Allah.

In addition, the prophet ﷺ was told 'worship your rabb until death overtakes you!' Right up to the end keep on worshipping continues, do not stop, do not pause, .do not lose hope in fact progress and become stronger and stronger. To take it more serious, he persuade us to take a look at some of the other verses of Quran Allah subhanawaataa'ala makes mention in surah al-Insyirah verse 7 and 8 "So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship]”“And to your Lord direct [your] longing”.

Mufti Ismail tell about the difficulty that our Prophet ﷺ face to deliver the massage. The Prophet ﷺ faced so many challenges, but he still continued and persevered, 23 whole years of prophethood. Allah subhanawataa'al will grant each person achievement according to his will obviously but also connected to the effort that the particular person makes. If we were to give up suddenly, we would never be able to achieve even jannah.

After that, Mufti Ismail give an example about people who give up half way of their effort. They worshipping Allah for so many years and right the end they turn so they are...
