Abu Bakr Zoud – The 3 conditions of gratitude

			Now, let me discuss with you the conditions of gratitude. What are the conditions of gratitude,
there are actually three conditions for gratitude. In order for your gratitude to be accepted by a
law, there are three conditions that you must fulfill. Number one, you must identify the blessings,
you must identify them.
		

			So once you've identified them, that is the first condition of being grateful. You identify you
recognize, you know that this is a blessing. Because if you don't recognize a blessing, how can you
thank Allah for it. So you must identify and recognize the blessings of Allah zosen. Number two, the
second condition for accepted gratitude
		

			is to acknowledge that the blessings are from Allah subhanho wa Taala. And to love Allah zosen for
these blessings that He has given you, Allah Zoysia he says and saw that the non woman becoming
nemat in feminine law, Allah sosial says, any blessing you have been given, then it is only from a
law, law. You know, sometimes people give you something, people give you a gift, people
		

			do you a favor, these are blessings coming from people. But ultimately they came from a law and
people only a means in how Allah delivered the blessing to you. So the first condition identify the
blessing. The second condition acknowledge that the blessing is only from Allah. And if a blessing
came through someone in a form of a gift or money or whatever it is, then you need to recognize that
they are only means otherwise the blessing actually came from Allah and no one else. There are many
examples in the Quran. Look at Sulayman alayhis salaam. Look at Suleiman's attitude when he looks at
his entire kingdom. So the man was a king. He was rich richer than the richest person on earth. At
		

			slay man, I think he's set up. But even then, when He looked at his entire kingdom, he said the hair
that mean for the lobby, he looked at his entire kingdom. And he said this is from the fever and the
blessing of Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah, Allahu Akbar.
		

			Even this is a condition of gratitude, to acknowledge it's coming from a loss aversion.
		

			So they man Allah is salam, once again, this beautiful character of acknowledging the fevers coming
from Allah appears again, in salt at the nemen.
		

			He says, in a message he sends to the queen of Yemen, the queen of Southern belle peace. When she
sent him a gift, the story is long anyway, she sent him a gift so that he doesn't come and conquer
her land. He said to the people,
		

			he said to them, go back, return this gift to the queen, we don't want your gift. Then he said
something incredible. He said, from any law higher remember at Aragon, he said what Allah has given
me is much better than what you people offer me of gifts. So once again, he acknowledged he said
what Allah has given me he ascribed the NEMA to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And we also find in the
story of the nine, Volker named when he wanted to build the wall, and people said to him, can we
give you money? halogen Abdullah halogen, can we pay you can we give you a trip tribute? Can we pay
you money, so you can build a wall between us and huge and huge, that corrupt nation that was
		

			destroying the earth in the land? So little Carmen said to them, Ma'am, can ni fi be higher law. He
said to them, what Allah has given me is much better than what you people want to offer me. Once
again, he acknowledged and attributed and ascribed the number to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And so
this is the second condition of gratitude. Number one, identify the blessing. Number two,
acknowledge it's from a loss origin. And as a result, we should love Allah subhanho wa Taala for
that. And number three.
		

			Number three,
		

			is that this is the third condition of gratitude. Listen carefully, that you do not use the blessing
and the fever of Allah, to disobey Allah subhanho wa Taala at all. Rather, you must use the blessing
Allah has given you only
		

			in the obedience and pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Lord Marquardt, once again,
		

			you are not allowed to use the
		

			Blessing Allah gave you to disobey Allah so isn't that is that is showing ingratitude to Allah that
is being ungrateful to Allah. Allah has given you a gift, and you're misusing it.
		

			You're using it in sin and evil matters. So, the third condition to be grateful is that you use the
blessing Allah gave you only in the obedience of Allah. So Allah gave you the ability to he Do you
know this is a blessing? Do you acknowledge it's from Allah? Use only to hear what pleases Allah
social. Use it to heat the good words. Use it to heed the reminder, use it to either
		

			use it in the pleasure of Allah sosial. Use this e to listen to advice. You know, the first problem
that the people of the fire have, you know what their problem is, you know what their regret is?
People that are going to jahannam you know what their regret is? in sort of the markets there. We
all know it, walk all over nesma I will not kill nalco nevyas herbicide. That's the regret, they
will see if we only heard meaning if we only listen to what's good. If we only heard the advice, if
we only heard the reminders. If we had only heard the Ayat of Allah, and then we comprehended them,
we wouldn't have been from the people of the fire. But they misused this blessing. They heard that
		

			which is how long they heard the mockery against the Quran. They heard the lies against the Quran,
they gave the ease to doubts and misconceptions about Islam. They gave the ease to the devil. They
gave the Eastern music, they gave the ears to gossip, they gave the ears to to groups and people
that just slander and swear at each other. You know how many people have followed pages on Facebook,
or Instagram or channels on YouTube? And the only purpose of the channel or that page is mockery? is
making fun of people is insulting people and slandering people. Why don't you subscribe to this
stuff. And you use this blessing to entertain yourself like this in how long? That means you have
		

			not shown gratitude to Allah for the blessing of the hearing that He has given you. Similarly, Allah
azza wa jal gave you the ability to see, use this in the pleasure of Allah. If you use your eyes in
that which displeases Allah, you are being ungrateful to the blessing of Allah. Remember, this is
the third condition of being grateful. You must use your site for that which pleases Allah subhanho
wa Taala. You get the sky,
		

			you know, as also Muslim Allahu alayhi wa sallam used to love looking at the sky, but not all
geographies, some, maybe some Allah, Allah usnm would always look at the sky. We're getting your
Nevada in a summer. Look at the Ayat of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Look at the books the beneficial
knowledge, look at the creation of a law, social and say suparna law and hamdulillah llama. Use your
eyes for that if you do that. You are thinking Allah social is blessing. Use your eyes, to look at
your parents, to look at your children, you know, eyes of happiness so that he can instill love and
happiness within them. Use it for that which pleases Allah if you do that you are thinking and being
		

			grateful to the blessing of sight. However, when you use your sight to see what that which is how
long have women, and nakedness and lewd this and shamelessness. And then you make the job difficult
on you by following pages of celebrities, by subscribing to channels of celebrities who just post
nakedness every day in every hour of the day in the night. Why do you follow things like this? Why
do you expose your eyes to filth like this? You're responsible my brothers and sisters in Islam. So
the third once again, the third condition
		

			of gratitude is to use the blessings Allah gave you to obey him not to disobey Him.
