Mufti Menk – Love Yourself and Don’t Show Off

			Allah grant us ease. We face heartbreak because then when people see the real way, the real us, they
turn away. Oh, I didn't even know that's what you look like Subhanallah No, let them not judge you
by your looks. In fact, let them love you for who you really are. Learn to love yourself and others
who will love you. Haven't you seen people walk about everywhere? And they don't mind what they look
like. Those are role models. I don't mean don't be neat and clean, be neat. dress properly. Prim
props smell good, look good. Yes, but you can't change your identity. You need to be happy. You
might be big built Alhamdulillah love yourself. You might be petite and small Alhamdulillah love
		

			yourself. You might have a long nose, a flat nose, thin lips, big lips love yourself that is
actually strengthening your heart. That's what it is. We're talking about healing the heart. The
reality is your heart will not heal correctly. When you haven't even loved the way Allah made you.
He chose for you your identity. Yeah, are you
		

			being a beacon carry him Oh man, what has deceived you against your own Lord? Allah, Allah pakka
VESA who covered? The One who created you He fashioned you he gave you whatever you have your
identity, your posture, your standing who you are. How can you be deceived against him? He's your
Lord. He made you.
		

			So learn to love Allah and the way he made you. I was talking about that remembrance of Allah, it's
not going to benefit Allah, it's going to benefit you. Your scale, your heart will be cleansed. It
will be purified. The jealousy that people have, that's the quality of the heart.
		

			But what's more important is to purify your heart from being a show off because you are inviting
jealousy. That's also very important. You see the difference? One is Oh sister or brother Why are
you so jealous? Well, why are you showing all this to your flashing everything mashallah, you know
when we were young
		

			we used to make sure we were covered properly go to school mashallah I used to wear these three
quarter shorts and we used to go to school with the top and a blazer. One of my friends childhood
friends is seated right in front Mashallah. And we went to school wearing a blazer and whatever else
and we were happy about it later on. There came a generation where you had to show people the tag on
your undies on your underwear your to show them attack, so it had to stick out from the back Levi's.
Wow. John Pierre, what do they say Pierre Kadar something sticking out the side here? Come on,
relax, relax. Because people must know, Oh, this guy's got design on this design. And these
		

			designer, do not become enslaved by what you found on Earth. You can afford it Alhamdulillah have it
use it, make use of it, enjoy it, but don't show off because that is going to call or it's going to
bring about the jealousy of the people without even you having asked for it. And what we'll come
about is something known as the evil eye. What's the evil eye? When people arrive at such a level of
		

			or astonishment by what you have that they don't even remember Allah they don't even relate it to
Allah. You see something you love mashallah Tabata kala or Allahumma Baddeck law home Hola. Hola.
Hola.
		

			You're supposed to pray for blessings for that person. Tell me you see someone flashing with their
sunglasses and their Porsche or Ferrari or whatever else it may be little Bugatti mashallah and you
see them flashing and looking at you.
		

			Are you going to say mashallah Allahumma barik level are you just going to look into
		

			tell me what would happen chances are the way it's done that mashallah won't come out and if it
does, it's by the way, like how we say inshallah at times for free. Someone says, Are you going to
come say inshallah? Inshallah means no, I'm not going to come. It depends how you saying it. You say
inshallah and be there you know, three o'clock I'm going to that means yes, I'm coming. But if
someone looks in sha Allah, that means I'm not coming. You know, it means I'm not coming. So the
same way you look and say Masha Allah that means I'm jealous of this guy badly. Let's see Masha
Allah Tabarrok Allah Allahumma barik Allah grant you goodness, man, I'm happy for you man.
		

			Mashallah, you've made it
