People sometimes if they cannot get the luxuries
that they are aiming for, they become depressed.
But that was a luxury.
You wanted something that was not a necessity.
When Allah says we will provide for you,
he will provide for your necessity.
Beyond that he did not guarantee
it. Do you know if wealth
and material
items
were
the most important thing and they were the
sign of success of a human being on
earth.
Allah would have given it firstly to his
messengers.
Firstly, he would have given it to his
messengers.
Right at the top, Muhammad, peace be upon
him. Go study his life.
He had so many opportunities to be the
richest and the wealthiest. From the very beginning,
when the people of Quraysh came to him
and told him, we will give you whatever
you want
to quit
what you are saying and doing.
He said, no.
No.
No matter what you give me, what I'm
doing is
never going to be stopped. So, he had
an opportunity
to be wealthy. He had an opportunity to
be the leader. He had an opportunity to
get everything.
He didn't compromise the truth.
They then threatened him.
They threatened him and they
fulfilled some of those threats.
He didn't give up.
Look at the prophet Jacob, may peace be
upon him, Yaqub alaihis salam.
He kept on saying something that I want
you to learn so that you can navigate
through your difficulty with the same prayer.
He kept on saying this, I know from
Allah something you guys don't know.
What was it? It's the promise of Allah
that you do good, you will get good.
You strive, you will see the result.
Allah has promised
not just him, but all of us. So
you need to know Allah's promise is the
truth. What's the worst thing that could happen?
The worst thing that could happen is not
actually that worse. I go back to Allah.
Wow.
The same Allah I'm calling out to, now
I have a chance to go right to
Him. SubhanAllah.
So,
Look at the faith, the conviction. You might
argue that that's a prophet of Allah. Yes.
It's true. But we are not prophets of
Allah. Yet when
we derive a lesson from what they went
through,
we will achieve comfort.
Keep reminding yourself, a better day is going
to come.
Goodness is going to come.
Let me do what Allah has given me
the capacity to do and inshallah the rest
is in the hands of Allah. I'm going
better for me.
better for me.
