So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief. Be aware after the dark night always comes the dawn and the darkest hour is just before the dawn.”
 
He added: "Dear young men, take care of your life because it is a great bounty from Allah and do not set yourself on fire as it is the tyrants who should burn. Be patient, endure and be steadfast. Tomorrow will come soon enough."
