Assalamu alaikum, o my brothers and sisters.
I'm speaking to you from the city of Bradford in the northern
part of England. And I have a message that I
would like to share with you today.
It's connected to something that is very, very important, many
people are unhappy, not because Allah has not blessed them with
something, but because they started comparing what Allah
gave them to, what Allah has given someone else, and
therefore, they become unhappy. P.
They become unhappy because they're looking at the lives of
others and thinking to themselves.
That's what I need. And for that reason they forget
what Allah has given them. And yet Allah has tailor-made.
The gifts that he chose to bestow you with, for you.
And he made it for them, whatever else he wanted to give
them. Sometimes you're in a situation,
whether it's marriage, whether it's Business Financial, the
financial levels were on your health and everything else.
We sometimes Do not appreciate what we have, not because we
don't have, but because we want to look at others and this is
why to compare your marriage with someone else's your
relationships with someone else's the biggest downfall,
it's one of the biggest ways of people losing their marriages or
losing their spouses, should I say the same applies to being
ungrateful when it comes to your business?
When it comes to your job when it comes to your health when it
comes to your situation? Some people are very happy when
they Witness their friends. Go out on holiday, they start
putting pressure on their spouse or whoever else we need to go
out on a holiday, not everyone needs to go overseas on
holidays, sometimes in the country you live in, there may
be places, right near your house that you've never discovered
that would make a better holiday than some of those who've
traveled to Hawaii, you know. So remember do not compare if
you want to break your life, then you start comparing and you
start thinking to yourself, you know what, I don't have when
Allah has really given you. What has triggered this
actually, what triggered it is. I dealt with a few cases today
of people who have sound marriages something good and
they start thinking to themselves, you know what, I'm
really not happy in this because they watch what's happening to
their neighbor or someone else. And then they don't realize the
wife or the husband is actually trying so hard to make things
work and you're just not happy and nothing makes you happy.
The reason why nothing makes you happy is not.
Because people are not trying to make you happy but because your
eyes are fixed on something else.
Completely not realizing that a lot of what we see and witness
is cosmetic. When people show you what they
have online, they're showing you a photoshopped version, a beauty
face version of what is the reality.
So you're busy thinking that these people have more than what
I have. And I'm never going to get there
or I'm not happy because my situation is never going to be
that that is our down for some time.
You have a relationship like, say, you know, when you get
married, you realize that the way you've been brought up,
might be different from the way. Your spouse was brought up their
relationship. With their family, may be
different. Some people have a very cozy
relationship, very beautiful. So they get along very well with
their brothers and sisters and parents and so on, whereas a
spouse may not be as close to his or her parents as you are
and vice versa. So for you to think that, you
know what this particular family is perhaps or my spouse is doing
too much for their parents, or her parents, or his parents,
just because you didn't have that type of relationship in
your home is unfair. It's unfair.
So start thinking to yourself that, you know what, I need to
live my life and appreciate what the almighty has bestowed upon
me. I need to make whatever I have
work for me and I need Make the most of what Allah has bestowed
upon me because life is too short.
We will continue complaining until the day we die if we're
not careful now. Anyway, that was a quick message
that I thought I'd share with you.
I'm sitting here in this beautiful place Bradford, they
told me it was freezing. There was a lot of snow and
there was I, when I came here, now today mashallah, it's quite
warm. You notice no jackets mashallah
and at the same time, there is no snow in sight at all.
And I was actually looking forward to it.
I came all the way I don't handle, I came to meet a friend
of mine, Allah subhanahu, wa'ta'ala bless us all Allah
subhanahu wa'ta'ala Grant assault.
He's lovely chatting with you today.
I'm not going to get a chance to go through your comments, but I
pray that Allah grant me the ability to improve myself and I
also pray that Allah grant us all the ability to improve
ourselves, so that we become the best of people inshallah.
