			contentment wa maa adhraka malqanaa what will make
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:23
			you understand what al-qanaa is a woman
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			is married to a man he treats her
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			well he is righteous, he does his faraid

00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			she wants a divorce why?
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:47
			because she cannot live the luxury life the
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			high end life that she really wants that
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			she has always dreamt of al-qanaa a
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:59
			brother goes and asks for or is looking
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:03

			but he refuses to go for the family
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			because she is not the most beautiful girl
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:27
			al-qanaa a husband drops off his wife
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:34
			to a wedding and he buys her a
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:38
			dress according to his income and she is
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41
			going there excited, happy he comes to pick
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			her up and she is upset why?
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			because the other girls had more nice and
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50
			more expensive dresses than her al-qanaa what
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			is al-qanaa?
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:55
			al-qanaa is ar-rida bima ataaka Allah
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			to be content with what Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			ta'ala has given you without needing to
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:04
			look at what others have to be happy
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			with what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:09
			given you fannabi sallallahu wasallam is telling us
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			that indeed he is successful, the one who
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			submits himself to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			and he has been given what is enough
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20
			for him and he is content with that
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:30
			subhanallah you find a family living in a
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:35
			small house they are just paycheck to paycheck
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			but they have what they need and they
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			are happy why?
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			because they have al-qanaa you find another
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:49
			family living in a big house making $20
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:53
			,000 a month but they are always looking
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			at what other people have always looking at
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			what they don't have and they live a
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:04
			very miserable life al-qanaa, subhanallah fal-qanaa
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			is to be content with what you have
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			and al-qanaa is a type of richness
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			that money can't buy al-qanaa is a
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:17
			type of richness that money can't buy walidalik
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:21
			annabi sallallahu wasallam he says man asbaha minkum
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			mu'afan, whoever of you wakes up and
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			he has good health, mu'afan fi jasadihi
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:33
			aaminan fi sirbihi he has a safe place
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:37
			to stay indahu qoota yawmihi he has enough
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			food for just that day most of us
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			have enough food for the month has enough
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:45
			food for that day faka annama heezat lahod
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:49
			dunya as if the dunya was made for
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:53
			him subhanallah have we thought about that?
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			now we see people who don't even have
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			that, subhanallah and then we have so much
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			and there's no qanaa brothers if you can
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			move forward as much as you can to
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:07
			your left, make some space barakallahu fikum and
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			so we have so much subhanallah but many
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:14
			of us, we are not content we are
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:19
			not content when Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam he
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22
			told us that al ghina is ghina al
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:27
			nafs al ghina is ghina al nafs richness
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			is not about what you own what kind
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			of car you have how big your house
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			is what position you have in your company
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:41
			but real richness is contentment in the heart
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:47
			because that's what brings happiness to people wal
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			lidalik Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says from
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			the benefits of being content of having al
		
00:06:52 --> 00:07:01
			qanaa Allah says whoever does righteous deed male
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:08
			or female and has iman he says we
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:11
			will give him we will definitely give him
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:19
			a hayatan tayyiba translation a good life Ibn
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:27
			Abbas radiallahu anhu he says why?
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			because when you have qanaa when you have
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:38
			contentment you will be happy with whatever you
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:42
			have guaranteed so it doesn't depend on what
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			you own or how much you own it
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:49
			depends on what's inside here fal hayatan tayyiba
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:53
			is the hayat where the person is content
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			with what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:00
			written for him al qanaa from the benefits
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
			we said that the person will be successful
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:06
			because an Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam athbat
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09
			that whoever has qanaa will be successful in
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			this dunya and in the akhirah in this
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			dunya he will be happy he will live
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:14
			a happy life he will live a hayatan
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:17
			tayyiba wa fil akhirah Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:24
			'ala says and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			will give them a reward in the akhirah
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:34
			for that the one who has qanaa is
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			the one who is really rich as we
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38
			mentioned because an Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:48
			he says richness is not about
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			the quantity or possessions that you have but
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:55
			richness is the richness in one's heart al
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:59
			qanaa a man came to the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			alayhi wa sallam and he asked him he
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:10
			said show me an action if I do
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:13
			it Allah will love me and an action
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			an action that will make people love me
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:22
			ya salam good question so the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:31
			alayhi wa sallam said to him don't go
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:36
			chasing after this dunya don't have love for
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:44
			this dunya and Allah will love you and
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:49
			don't go wanting what other people have and
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52
			people will love you right many problems between
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:55
			people is because of jealousy hasad right they
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			are always competing right people trying to take
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:02
			what others have people will love you if
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			you are not trying to you know take
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			their stuff you know or put them down
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10
			and so subhanallah you do the first one
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			Allah will love you ok and you do
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			the second one and the people will love
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:21
			you ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:44
			forgiveness to
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:47
			conclude how can we be people who have
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			qana'a because it's not so easy especially
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:54
			now with social media if a person is
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			spending just a few minutes on social media
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			always looking at what others have and people
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02
			on the other side are always posting what
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			they don't really have most of them right
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			you know because many people are living on
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			debts subhanallah they are showing that they are
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:13
			living a good life good life meaning but
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			they are really in debt many people and
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			we don't realize that and when we spend
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			so much time looking at what others have
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			what we don't have right we don't realize
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			that qana'a goes down and down and
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
			down and we become dissatisfied and we live
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:30
			miserable lives and we think that a promotion
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			will make that better and we think that
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			a house will make that better and we
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			think that a vacation will make that better
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:40
			but it doesn't because something is wrong in
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43
			the foundation so how can we become people
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			of al qana'a number one we need
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:49
			to understand that Allah is ar-razaq and
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has decreed your
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			rizq and your rizq you will get it
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:58
			no matter what if the whole universe got
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			together to decrease what Allah has written for
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:03
			you they can't subhanallah and if everybody got
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:08
			together everybody to increase to give you more
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			than what Allah has written for you you
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:12
			will never get more this is part of
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:14
			the aqeedah of the Muslim he understands that
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:19
			and Allah told us وما من دابة في
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:22
			الأرض إلا على الله رزقها there is no
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:26
			living creature or being on this earth except
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			its rizq is upon Allah Allah is taking
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:33
			care of everything so there is nothing for
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:36
			the person to worry about وفي السماء رزقكم
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:42
			وما توعدون your rizq is promised it's in
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			the heavens with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:50
			فَوَرَبِّ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُ لَحَقِّ Allah is telling
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			you is swearing and telling you that you
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:56
			will get your rizq another thing we have
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			to understand dear brothers and sisters that out
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			of Allah Allah is Al-Hakeem he is
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			not just Al-Razzaq he is Al-Hakeem
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			so out of his hikmah he gives to
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:08
			some and he withholds from others ولذلك he
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:12
			says وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ الْأَرْضِ he has
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:16
			placed you successors on this earth وَرَفَعَ بَعْضَكُمْ
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:20
			فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ and he has given some of
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:23
			you more than others he has elevated some
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25

00:14:40 --> 00:14:43
			phones and our social media it pushes us
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:45
			to do the opposite to look at those
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:48
			who have more to look at those who
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:51
			have more and us worrying about the things
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:55
