00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Men may say that only women
compare themselves to others men
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:06
			do that as well. There's doing
different things maybe, you know,
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:09
			some may do it in beauty or
attractiveness clothing, some will
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:14
			do it in wealth. Some will do in
other things. It just there's
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			always something that we're going
to combat that that's why he's
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:21
			saying the knifes is actually by
its nature. It's predisposed to do
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			this, either by looking at
somebody else's knowledge. Okay,
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			I've got more knowledge than him.
I don't need to study enough,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			right? Look, look how much they
have. They have nothing. Oh,
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			Amazon, Oh, * no. If you do
this for sugar that Alhamdulillah
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:36
			at least you know, we've got a bit
and then that spurs you to look
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			further than hamdulillah that's a
good thing. There's nothing wrong
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			in recognizing some good that
Allah has given us absolutely
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			nothing wrong with that. It's only
if it makes us complacent. That's
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			exactly what he's saying. As
opposed to if you were to be a
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:52
			companion of somebody superior to
you with better exon with better
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:56
			beautification, more
beautification of the faith, then
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			you will actually start seeing the
shortcoming in yourself.
