And that's what it is. Someone did good
to you all your life.
And at the end of the day, all
you did is threw it straight out of
the window. Nothing. Someone tried to teach you,
reach out to you. People did things, you
know, and that's it. A person cooks for
you. A person cooks
for you. And they spent hours on end
preparing the meal. And the only thing you
could do was to pick on what was
wrong.
That's what we do.
Rather than saying,
imagine you have a dish and
you or the person who cooked forgot to
put
put some salt. You see, I heard salt
coming from the crowd.
They know it has happened. It's normal.
I think Allah makes it happen because it
might be coincidental for us. For Allah, there's
no coincidence. He knew it was going to
happen. Before you were born, it was already
written. This day, this time, there'll be no
salt. We'll be watching. The angels will be
writing. And as you put the food in
your mouth, the angels are writing and they
just see your reaction pass or fail, Allahu
Akbar.
So if you were to taste it and
say, imagine the tick you get, 10 out
of 10, subhanAllah,
say this is absolutely
lovely. How long did it take you to
make
this? Wow.
You can say you can quietly bring a
bit of salt. You know, I prefer a
little bit more salt.
Wow. You looked after someone's feelings. That's what
you did. You looked after
a person you care for, you love, perhaps.
Even if it was a paid cook,
at least you didn't hurt their feelings. May
Allah
help us and guide us. Okay.
