A Goal in the 90th Minute (Ministry Between Burden and prudence)* _Captain Mohamed Hassan Al-Tahir

 

_Date: August 24, 2025_

 

In today’s world, where responsibilities intersect with ambitions and burdens wrestle with promises, the ministry emerges as a unique human condition—swaying between the weight of duty and the hope of transformation. It is not merely a position, but a true test of intention, capability, awareness, and balance.

 

*🎁 good deed is Noble*not ignoble :

 

The English proverb says: _Great gift from great man_. This phrase transcends its surface to dive deep into its essence. The “great man” here is not necessarily one of status or wealth, but one who believes and does good deeds—whose giving becomes a blessing, whose gift becomes a message, and whose presence becomes a promise. When the ministry is in the hands of such individuals, it transforms from a burden into hope, from authority into service, and from prestige into example.

 

 

⚖️ The Law of Balance :

 

The story of the man who bought chickens to improve his livelihood, only to lose his peace, then sold them to regain his calm, encapsulates the philosophy of balance. Not every increase in responsibility brings more good, and not every effort is praiseworthy unless its impact is understood. Likewise, the ministry—if not wisely managed—can shift from glad tidings to burden, from blessing to affliction. Wisdom lies not in the quantity of tasks, but in their thoughtful distribution and the ability to lighten the load when it becomes too heavy.

 

🥅 A Goal in the 90th Min :

 

In football, as in life, outcomes are often decided in the final moments. A goalkeeper may score an own goal, the ball may bounce off the crossbar, and fate may carry it toward an unexpected goal. The ministry is no different—it may begin with high expectations, stumble, recover, and finally score in the 90th minute when all believe the match is over. What matters is that the bearer of responsibility does not lose resolve and remembers that destiny is shaped only through sincerity and action.

 

🧵 The Role Model :

In an age of display, the true role model is one who spends less, conceals his condition, and lives simply. The minister who ties two stones to his stomach, as our great exemplar the Messenger of allah did—while the companion tied only one out of hunger—is the one worthy of respect. Ministry is not about appearances, but essence; not about privileges, but sacrifices.

 

 

*🔥 An Era of Resolve, Not Excuses*

 

We live in a time that does not tolerate complacency or accept excuses. Whoever assumes responsibility today must possess a resolve that surpasses circumstances, tying two stones to his heart—of patience, sincerity, and justice. Ministry is not a reward, but a trial. Whoever passes it with honesty receives the glad tidings; whoever falters bears the burden.

 

In the end, ministry is not a goal scored at the beginning of the match, but a decisive moment settled in the 90th minute.

– Do we have the resolve to reach that moment?

– Can we master the balance between burden and promise?

 

That is the question every aspiring leader must face—not with words, but with deeds.
