Persevere in the cause of Allah

Nuh (AS) lived for 950 years, most of which he spent trying to persuade his people to accept faith and establish monotheism: 'And We certainly sent Nuh to his people, and he remained among them a thousand years less fifty…' (29:14) Hence, for hundreds of years, Nuh (AS) persisted in guiding his people, striving in the path of Allah, and facing people’s ridicule. In the same way, we must propagate the oneness of God, share His Word with others, spread goodness, and not feel dejected when others oppose our actions, because it is the effort ' more than the final result ' that counts in His sight.
