Believers learn the balance between fear and hope. Ustadh Michael Wolfender outlines how motivation and pressure can push you to the ultimate reward. A balance of fear and hope keeps believers on the straight path. Life is a test to become a better person. This would not occur without challenges and pressure. Brother Michael refer to Surah Al-Humazah (104 The Traducer) which has many references to the hellfire as the other surahs around it do address paradise. We hear an anecdote of a student’s ability to connect to the Qur’an and a technique you can strive toward.
