Feeling of doing little in dawah work

“When we do dawah work, it gives immense pleasure to us. We feel we are doing the job which God has asked us to do. We are acting as part of the divine scheme. But simultaneously a thought comes to the mind that the task is so big but we are doing very little. Please advise.”Asked by Sajid Anwar, Roorkee

? please advise." nahi nahi, depression ki baat hi nahi hai. depression ki baat hai ke aap dua kijiye ke Allah taala aur tofeeq de aap ko. bhai, jitna aap kar saken us ke siwa agar baqi karna hai to aap dua kijiye. dua jo hai sab se bada zariya hai apne aap ko depression se bachane ka. jahan aap ki had ruk rahi ho wahan Allah ki had shuru ho jati hai. aap dua kijiye. koi sawal nahi hai depression ka, tension ka, despair ka, mayoosi ka, kuch bhi nahi. dua jo hai master formula hai. master formula in sab cheezon ka.

dua ka matlab hota hai Allah taala mazeed tofeeq de, Allah taala mazeed raaste khole, Allah taala mazeed mauqe de, Allah mazeed humein saathi de. to yeh yeh kaam kijiye. maulana, yeh sawal Delhi se hai Mr. Anas ka. unhon ne likha hai: "aam taur par logon ka mizaj yeh hai ke un ke bare mein jab koi aisi baat batai jaye jo qabil-e-islaah ho to woh asal baat par focus karne ke bajaye us baat par focus karne lagte hain ke yeh baat kis ne aap ko batai.
