How can one achieve the pleasure of Allah and one's parents and work as a driver while adhering to the teachings of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama'ah, and overcome the obstacles that prevent assistance?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Whoever strives for a goal is not a failure, and the pleasure of Allah and your parents is a great goal. To attain the pleasure of Allah, adhere steadfastly to His religion by performing obligations and avoiding prohibitions, and increase in supererogatory acts. Seek beneficial knowledge, regularly recite a daily portion of the Quran, and safeguard your remembrance (dhikr). Associate with righteous youth who will aid you in obedience. To attain the pleasure of your parents, honor them and obey them in what is good, treat them kindly, and supplicate for them. Not finding employment is not a failure, for it is by the decree of Allah, so supplicate to Allah to expand your provision.
