Is this a divine decree and wisdom from Allah, or a shortcoming on the part of the questioner, or a punishment for sins, or a selection by Allah of His servants, along with his feeling of not offering anything to humanity and the Ummah, and his inability to work alone due to the absence of a unified will, material resources, and religious knowledge?
Work to serve the Ummah begins by identifying and utilizing energies and capabilities, and striving in the many doors of good, the greatest of which is the worship and unification of Allah, because this is the purpose for which jinn and humans were created. Serving this religion is an honor for every Muslim man and woman, and it is not limited to scholars and the wealthy. Whoever wishes to serve the Ummah must seek opportunities, seek help from Allah, search for helpers in good deeds, abandon sins, and repent to Allah. The lesson is not in the multitude of deeds, but in their perfection and sincerity to Allah. Allah grants victory to this Ummah through its weak ones, by their sincerity and supplication. It is important to learn sacred knowledge and teach it to others, for every person possesses the ability to benefit themselves and their Ummah, so do not belittle any good deed.
