Abdullah Hakim Quick – What This Generation Needs to Know

This is a generation where people want things fast. They want everything in front of them. They want their food cooked immediately.

They want their clothes immediately. They want everything in life to pop in front of us. That's not what life is about. Life is a process. And that process requires patience.

It is the distance between a short distance runner and a long distance runner.

The short distance runner has a burst of energy burst out and gives everything and then expects a result. But the long distance runner, gauges his strength

and starts off strong, maintains his strength and then continues along gauging his body at some point slowing down at some points getting stronger until he reaches the finish line and then comes with a burst.

We are in a long distance marathon.

And what is challenging about this marathon is that we don't know when it will end. And so we need to depend upon Allah. To have Tawakkol Allah Allah, we depend upon the creator in Allah ballyhoo Amity, Allah will reach his purpose. He has made a limit for all things
