Messenger of Allah said: “The nations are about to call each other and set upon you, just as diners set upon food.” It was said: “Will it be because of our small number that day?” He said: “Rather, on that day you will be many, but you will be like foam, like the foam on the river. And Allah will remove the fear of you from the hearts of your enemies and will throw wahn (weakness) into your hearts.” Someone said: “O Messenger of Allah! What is wahn?” He said: “Love of the world and the hatred for death.”

Live, work and sacrifice not for the comforts of this world, but for Islam
He didn’t say living in the dunya, he said loving the dunya. You will live and you will flourish and you will enjoy the dunya there’s nothing wrong. The Prophet SAW said, it is my Sunnah to eat, to drink, to marry, to have children.
Be proactive, set the agenda and the trends
If you want to become a wave rather than the froth and the foam we need to start being proactive rather than reactive we cannot just answer to every single issue like a leaf in the wind. We have to have a solid anchor we cannot just be reactionary which is what we are doing for the last few decades we need to be brave enough to be Visionary. Thinking on the Visionary level who is becoming the wave breaking away from the flow who is setting the trends rather than responding only to the trends. Once upon a time we set the trends once upon a time we were the waves and the rest of the world was the froth and the foam, but today wherever the world goes we follow along with it whatever is politically correct or incorrect.
