Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Why We Constantly Compare Ourselves to Others

Men may say that only women compare themselves to others men

do that as well. There's doing different things maybe, you know,

some may do it in beauty or attractiveness clothing, some will

do it in wealth. Some will do in other things. It just there's

always something that we're going to combat that that's why he's

saying the knifes is actually by its nature. It's predisposed to do

this, either by looking at somebody else's knowledge. Okay,

I've got more knowledge than him. I don't need to study enough,

right? Look, look how much they have. They have nothing. Oh,

Amazon, Oh, * no. If you do this for sugar that Alhamdulillah

at least you know, we've got a bit and then that spurs you to look

further than hamdulillah that's a good thing. There's nothing wrong

in recognizing some good that Allah has given us absolutely

nothing wrong with that. It's only if it makes us complacent. That's

exactly what he's saying. As opposed to if you were to be a

companion of somebody superior to you with better exon with better

beautification, more beautification of the faith, then

you will actually start seeing the shortcoming in yourself.
