“Purify your intentions, keep only His satisfaction in your mind, seek help through the Waseela of AhlulBayt Al-Twahireen (AS), continue your hard work and stay steadfast, spreading the pure and divine message taught by the AhlulBayt (‘A). There will be many challenges in this way but this would increase in your reward and you will see the actual result of all your efforts in the hereafter.”
