The speaker discusses the confusion surrounding Allah's use of Subhanho wa Taala, which allows believers to achieve spiritual success by turning to his name. The confusion is due to the way he uses Subhanho wa Taala, which is focused on physical health and physical success, rather than his teachings. He believes that individuals should not be satisfied with their success, as it is ultimately their blessing that is secured.

There is no point in being cured medically and physically, when spiritually we are in we are sick, when religiously we are far away from Allah subhanho wa Taala. So mankind due to his weakness starts off on the wrong side, by relying primarily upon the medication or the doctor or whoever else it may be or himself or his expertise, or whatever he's read or knows and nowadays, even on Google Subhana Allah, so you find Allah is removed from the equation. And this is where we falter. The difference between a believer and one who does not believe is that the believer primarily turns to Allah, before everything we say. Bismillah we are taught that when you leave the house, you say Bismillahi

That was the mistake you made and therefore the blessing will be snatched away. The goodness is snatched away.
