Among the greatest means of steadfastness are: performing the obligatory duties and increasing in supererogatory acts, attending gatherings of remembrance (dhikr) and knowledge, seeking a trustworthy shaykh, memorizing the Quran with understanding its meanings, accompanying the righteous, and striving in supplication.
