Obstacles are an inevitable part of achieving meaningful goals and success. Instead of seeing difficulties as the end of dreams, they should be viewed as challenges that are part of the journey. Refusing to be stopped by obstacles and keeping focus on goals will help one get to their destination faster. When facing tough times, it is important to remember that overcoming obstacles builds strength, wisdom and perseverance, and frustrations will transform into motivations leading to quicker success.

dreams, see them as part of the journey. View
obstacles as challenges, which, once overcome,

snags build wisdom, perseverance and strength.

5. The prophet (saws) said:
"Be mindful of Allah, [for] you will find Him before you.
Get to know Allah in prosperity, and He will know you
in adversity. Know that what has passed you by was
not going to befall you, and that what has befallen you
was not going to pass you by. And know that victory
comes with patience, relief with affliction, and ease with
hardship."
(Tirmidhi)
