A very honest and precise view of Imran Qureshi: “What is it that you have done other than just… well nothing? That’s precisely it u keep talking about stuff but u haven’t done anything. You won’t get anywhere on even ‘doing’ anything because ur projects never go anywhere other than this chatbox and wherever else u discuss them or dream about them. But im sure discoverwho taught you some skills that no one else knew which is making you do so much. I got my discoverwho lesson in 15 minutes from my millionaire mamu… one word… focus! that was all.”

I can’t claim to be one; leaders are nothing but concentrated and focused. Our own greatest hero was focused on a single task. And how do you stop a man like that? They offered him wealth, he refused; they offered him status, he refused; they offered him women, he refused; they offered him dominion, and he refused. No type of boycott, sanctions, torture – physical or otherwise, could stop him. Even if you were to go back and put sun on one of his hands and the moon on the other, he would not have stopped. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was absolutely focused on making sure deen of Allah comes to us. So how do you stop him? You don’t, there is absolutely no way to stop him.

Its not only about concentration, but also discrimination. If concentration is how to focus, discrimination is where to focus. What are the most important things? Imagine what would have happened to the khilafa, if Umar (radhiAllahuanha) decided to be a general fighting the Persians instead of being the ameer ul-momineen. He was desiring the death of a martyr, and he acheived it by permission of Allah even though he was in Medina; but he knew what was important, and he knew where to focus.
