From the lecture by 'Ali at-Tamimi, titled  'Intellection Confusion of the Muslim Youth' : "The fourth cause which leads to intellectual confusion amongst the youth is the lack of zeal to order, to guide the people. In other words, instead of being zealous for the guidance of people, often, the youth were zealous for judging the people, zealous for passing out judgements: 'Well, he's astray, and he's on the guidance, and he's, well, he's OK, but he's not quite there, and this one is 10%, and this one, OK, he's 13.2%,' and so forth, and so on. This is not the way of Allah's Prophet. This is not the way of the Prophet's Companions. Rather, they used to seek to guide the people, and Allah Said to the Prophet, in order to console him: { "...So, do not ruin yourself out of sadness for them..." } [ Fatir ; 8] See, the Prophet would be so sad when the people wouldn't accept the message, it used to affect him physically...

Al-Baqarah (The Cow) - Chapter 2: Verse 153 (partial) " O you who Believe, seek strength in Patience ( Sabr ) and Prayer ( Salah ). God is with those who are patient.

His hair was not short and curly, nor was it lank, but in between. His face was not narrow, nor was it fully round, but there was a roundness to it. His skin was white. His eyes were black. He had long eyelashes. He was big-boned and had wide shoulders. ... When he looked at someone, he looked at them in full face. Between his shoulders was the seal of prophecy, the sign that he was the last of the prophets. He was the most genero...
