"And so you can sit in the Mosque all day long; it doesn’t make any difference, because if you will not work the Will of Allah (God), you have denied His Will. Therefore, you are sitting in the Mosque in a state of Self-Negation, not Self-Denial. You have a ruined soul. “Seek refuge in Allah from cowardice.” And what is cowardice, but a lack of courage to face danger, difficulty and opposition? He never promised you a rose garden. He never said the road would be easy. But if you do not have the courage to face the opposition, to face the difficulty, then you will suffer grief, fear, loss, anxiety, stress and strokes and death --- because you have negated your right to exist."
~The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan
