MOTTO

(6) Verily, with the hardship, there is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two

reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs). (7) So when you have
finished (from your occupation), then stand up for Allah worship (i.e. stand up for
prayer). (8) And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your intentions and hopes and)
your invocation.
(QS. Al-Insyirãh, 6-8)

To reach the top of the mountain is always started with little step by step.
