Mohammed Faqih – The key for Happiness

			Let him that he left the herd who are sitting in a hall on a cell fuel water study.
		

			What are all the villa heater? I mean, surely from Siena, see fer Madalina Miyagi Lahore Philomel
Lila oh my god little panda Deanna
		

			Why should you Allah ilaha illallah wa the hola Cherie Keller
		

			Why should you know Mohammed and Abdullah who Allah Sudha was Sophie who may have been in healthcare
he was a real biller or reseller to idle Amana.
		

			One also had he had a follow up to Michael Salem, who are they living in? La Habra to party
		

			while at Hamilton
		

			to mostly mourn your nurse with Taco Bell Cammalleri. Holika come in FCO Wahida wahala come in has
Oh Jehovahs me Homare Jalan cathedral when he saw
		

			what the Kula lady is. Gonna be here on our ham in Allaha Cana Alikum. Rock, Eva. Yeah, you're
living in LA. We're all older city that uses local Amala como que la quinta Nova come or may operate
la hora Sula, who are the powers of Jose and Halima.
		

			If you ask, what
		

			the secret or
		

			what will ensure someone happiness, what is the secret of happiness? How do we become happier
people?
		

			Most people will be different people, obviously will give different answers. But most of these
answers will revolve around something possessing something that
		

			you either don't have, or
		

			possessing something of,
		

			you know, worldly materialistic nature, right? Happiness, and obviously, happiness, you know, to
different people, you know, can be achieved through other through different ways.
		

			But they say that true.
		

			Happiness,
		

			and the shortest distance actually to happiness comes through
		

			a quality that most people lack.
		

			And believers are supposed to actually struggle to,
		

			you know, make sure that they have this quality.
		

			And that quality that are out refers to it as sugar,
		

			gratitude, the ability to or to be in a state of gratitude and the ability to be thankful and
grateful.
		

			Right? It's not about what we don't have.
		

			It's about being grateful for what we already have.
		

			See, Allah azza wa jal in the Quran makes a declaration, the ancient tomb that as he didn't know, if
you're thankful for what you have, I'll give you more.
		

			But most of us, what we say is that, give me more so that I can be thankful and happy.
		

			And if you're not thankful for what you already have, how do we know that you're going to be
satisfied and thankful for what you're going to be receiving in the future, as it is, you have
things that many people the world don't have?
		

			For instance,
		

			we live actually,
		

			in one of the if not the most privileged society.
		

			And I don't want to go through the numbers of how much of the world's resources we consume here, in
spite of the fact that we're actually a fraction of the world's population.
		

			Right.
		

			And we have, you know, the average person here has more than more than 97 points at 4% of the
world's population. So we already have plenty to be thankful for. But if you ask,
		

			or if you check, you'll find that many of us were not happy or we're not satisfied because there's
that one thing that is missing, there's always that one thing that is missing, and if I have it when
I will
		

			be satisfied and I will be thankful and then I'll be happy.
		

			Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah tells us, illuminate your chakra that very few of my servants are
truly thankful and grateful.
		

			Many people are reminded around this time of the year of this quality, right, and people will
sometimes think hard, what am I thankful for? But what we don't realize that if we practice this and
		

			Read, they will actually be happier people this is actually not a, just a hypothesis, or this is
actually proven. There's plenty of research done around this one of these research resources that
were done. A study was done on a group, a couple of, you know, one large group of people, they were
split into two,
		

			two groups.
		

			One group was told that they need to actually prepare and write a letter to someone that have
impacted them, and express their gratitude and appreciation for what that person has done for them.
And that they have a week to come up with an amazing letter, right?
		

			In which they need to actually let this person know what what they are, we're thankful for another
group, they were told, they were not told to do that. And the level of happiness of both groups or
the entire group actually was measured.
		

			A week later, those who had a week to think about things that they were thankful for, with regards
to one person, one individual,
		

			right, or one entity.
		

			They reported much higher level of happiness and satisfaction.
		

			Experts tell us that those who count their blessings every day, and express gratitude.
		

			Right are
		

			actually much calmer at feasts and they're happier.
		

			Is he Allah azza wa jal chooses the best. And when Allah azza wa jal introduces new Hala SLM the
Quran praises him as
		

			reexamine HeMen Nam. I know Ian, who cannot evidencia Cora. He was a thankful service. It was a very
grateful, thankful service.
		

			Right? Allah as we have chosen to carry this message.
		

			Right.
		

			Musa alayhis salam expresses gratitude in his own way, in Neelima and delta Elysium in hiring a copy
of whatever good or Allah you have blessed me with it. I am always in need for it.
		

			I'm desperately in need for whatever I already have.
		

			Right?
		

			Now, I want more. I want what I don't have no I'm very grateful for what I have, Oh Allah, but I
desperately needed. Allah subhanho wa Taala commands the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says
welcome Minister curry Valley la would welcome Mina Shokri worship Allah and be amongst the thankful
and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on manifestation of this quality. Right came in one of
the Hadith I shall obey Allah and when she saw the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam praying extra
prayers and you know, exert exerting a lot of effort.
		

			She said Messenger of Allah, Allah as it has, and I want everyone to listen to this, especially
young men. Listen to this, you know, sometimes we were like, bothered by the obligations that you
have to pray five times a day though, the product itself besides the five times a day and all the
Sunnah, and and all of that He actually prayed at night he woke up at night and and he prayed for
long hours. So as you said, messenger of ALLAH, why do you have to do this? When Allah has already
forgiven your sins? You're given I don't want to call it three paths, but you're done your,
		

			your place in general is is is guaranteed. Why? Why do you have to do all of this? For Allah who
like a method that I mean, then become at a o'clock? He said, I should then fly a corner evidencia
Cora, then shouldn't I be a thankful servant?
		

			Right. Should I be thankful? Should I express my gratitude? I'm worshiping Allah subhanaw taala I'm
praying because I want to thank Allah subhanaw taala for what He has blessed me with what kind of
probably Allah Allah Allah Allah Lima right. It's, it's I'm saying thank you Allah for what you have
blessed me with.
		

			So that's why he you know, someone tell him he couldn't get enough of Salah Salah isn't obviously he
wasn't, you know, some Allahu alayhi salam praying 24/7 But the problem is Islam, Salah was not a
burden on him, it was actually a great opportunity for him to reconnect with Allah and thank Allah
as we get them praise him for and when we stand in Salah that is an expression of gratitude. We
begin our Salah by saying what Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen This is Allah subhanaw taala teaching
us to be thankful, but you know,
		

			and our task Inshallah, starting from the Juma prayer that we're going to do is from now on, just
think about what we're saying, especially that first word, and hamdulillah Are you really you really
mean it? Right, the province or insulin teaches us to thank Allah azza wa jal and praise him every
morning and every evening.
		

			Oh Allah, I'm so blessed.
		

			Oh Allah, I am so blessed.
		

			With all of these blessings,
		

			my dear brothers,
		

			this is something that we need to remind ourselves with, and remind, and I will continue to say this
remind our family members, my fear is that if we
		

			fail, to be thankful, and to have an attitude of gratitude, right, that whatever we have may be
taken away from us.
		

			And that we're going to regret it.
		

			And also, it's a reminder
		

			that we need to really appreciate what we already have, instead of dwelling and getting fixated on
what we don't have. That is a recipe for misery.
		

			Because every time you get that, that one thing that you want, for which you're willing to stand in
lines, from midnight, until, you know, five or 6am, when the stores open, the dedication of some
people just amazes me. And then once you possess it, you have it a week later, it becomes used, and
it's no longer as exciting, right? And then consumerism that, you know, then we're looking for the
next thing, or the next model, for the next version, and on and on and on, we're never happy.
		

			Right? But if we're thankful for what we have, especially if it's functioning, if it's doing its
job, right.
		

			Then we will be thankful to Allah subhanaw taala whatever we have will be blessed and we will be
much, much happier I ask Allah azza wa jal
		

			to grant us inner peace and happiness in this life and in the hereafter. Akula has already said no
to myself to Allah. Hi Leo. Welcome first of all, we have a whole lot for overhang.
		

			Al hamdu Lillahi wa salatu salam ala evading Medina suffer that ensue, right look, man.
		

			Verse 12, Allah subhanaw taala tell us about the story of one of the wisest men that ever lived and
he is praised in the Quran Allah says well according Taina Lachman and hikma
		

			and each Karela
		

			we have certainly given local man wisdom. He was a wise man.
		

			He was a wise man.
		

			Some people study and pursue wisdom
		

			and they major in what is known as a subject or a discipline known as philosophy,
		

			pursuing it, Allah subhanaw taala says, Look, man was granted wisdom. And Allah azza wa jal says, An
ich kuraly lair
		

			as be grateful to Allah subhanaw taala as if the eye is telling us that true wisdom comes through
what?
		

			Through having the attitude of gratitude, being thankful, thankful people are some of the wisest
people that you would ever meet. Thank you people who are content with what they already have with
what Allah azza wa jal has. And when we say content, that doesn't mean that they don't aspire to
produce more and to to give more, but usually it's not for their, for themselves, usually, for
others, for reasons greater than themselves. Right.
		

			But they're already content with what they have. And they express gratitude and escuela and they
have confidence.
		

			Allah azza wa jal then says well MAY Yes, go to for in Nimesh cool Quran NFC and whosoever is
thankful and expresses gratitude. You're only doing it for yourself. In other words, when you tell
people who have done your favor, or when you obviously Allah subhanaw taala has done us the greatest
of all parents, right. But when you say thank you, when you're grateful when you feel indebted to
someone that has done you any favor, right?
		

			Deep inside, not only is that a sign of wisdom, but you're actually doing it for yourself. So that
goes back to what we were talking about in the first hope, but about that research, that people who
were trying to come up with words to express how much gratitude they felt towards individuals who
have done them some favor, right? These individuals actually were happier. So if you are thankful,
it is for your own self.
		

			Right. Once again, shortest distance to happiness
		

			is through gratitude.
		

			Right. So by
		

			urge you I urge myself
		

			to sit? You know, very often, by the way, the more you do it, the better off you are.
		

			We know that in the Sunnah we recommended to do this at least twice a day.
		

			But actually, you can do it throughout the whole day. As a matter of fact, big American hair. I want
you to listen to this, if you get nothing out of this, hopefully except this one, right?
		

			I don't want to say by show of hand I know this is Joomla All right, so sometimes people feel
		

			very awkward interacting with email, but it really I want you to show of hands how many of us want
		

			Allah subhanaw taala to be pleased with us and to forgive us our sins.
		

			Allah be pleased with us. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam says this is a gift. I want you to
take it home with you to yourself and share it with family members. In Allah Allah.
		

			Allah azza wa jal will be pleased
		

			with his servant.
		

			Yeah, Kulu econetic Mudumalai where shall we shall better?
		

			Allah will be pleased with his servant when he or she eat something and enjoy halaal turkey. Right?
Whatever.
		

			Eat something and then express gratitude to Allah thank Allah azza wa jal, they eat it, they enjoy
it and they said, Hamdulillah this was delicious.
		

			And they drink something and they enjoy it. Right? They take a sip of that, you know, whatever
Frappuccino like seasonal flavor that they have. And, man that is good and hamdulillah
		

			right hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah for the ability to have it and hamdulillah for the ability to enjoy
to taste it. Right to digest it, to afford it.
		

			I mean, multiple things, there are multiple layers here, right? And hamdulillah they're thankful for
it. Allah azza wa jal wouldn't be pleased with you.
		

			All it takes you take a sip you enjoy something and then you thank Allah Subhana Allah for it.
Right? Then Allah Subhana Allah will be pleased with you. Woman Tamiami Shoukry Allah azza wa jal
sure crewman as the Elena Moussa
		

			and also to fulfill gratitude and being thankful to Allah azza wa jal, you must also say thank you,
and be grateful to those who serve you.
		

			Those in your life who try to basically write someone who does any any if even if it's a little
favor, lash Corolla, hammer lash Coronas, the person said, He who does not thank people does not
thank Allah subhanaw taala.
		

			So just keep that in mind. Insha Allah Allah next time we enjoy one of the blessings of Allah
Subhana Allah upon us. Let's practice gratitude as often as we can, next meal next, next, sip that
you get, right, the ability to be able to enjoy to afford it and so on and so forth. thank Allah for
all of that and see your life changing.
		

			See, you will you will transform right, everything about yourself. Gradually.
		

			May Allah Subhana Allah be pleased with us may Allah Subhana Allah
		

			allow us to enjoy his blessings upon us and make us of those who are thankful and grateful to him
