			Welcome to the daily reminder network I

00:00:16 --> 00:00:55

			want to tell you about a personal incident that happened to me. I was on an airplane flight. And we
were arriving coming towards Jeddah so most of the people on the flight were actually going for
Hajj. Now, as this airplane was flying and the food was being distributed on the plan, all of a
sudden, the airplane just fell out of the sky, you know, literally just fell out of the sky and
dropped, the food trays that we had in front of us had hit the ceiling. And initially, everybody was
just a little shocked. And there was like, some screams going out. But the second time that airplane
did that, everybody just started shouting out on the airplane, Allah Akbar, Allah and started

00:00:55 --> 00:01:31

			calling to Allah subhanho data, everybody getting ready to die. Now that was a very intense incident
for me. And when I landed 100 Lan Allah subhanaw taala saved us and I'm here with you today. I
opened up my journal, and I learned a valuable lesson. I looked in my journal and I noticed that the
last time I had opened up my journal was the last time something painful had happened to me. And
then there was many blank pages and then now this incident, and then I realized at that point, that
I'm only turning to Allah subhanaw taala when something painful comes upon.

00:01:33 --> 00:01:36

			Allah subhana data says in the Quran, well, he's

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

			more

00:01:41 --> 00:02:28

			than welcome. And remember when your Lord proclaim that if you're thankful I will increase you. Now
see, I understood from this airplane and realizing that I was only turning back to Allah subhana
data during pain that I needed to be more thankful. See, there's two schools, there's the school of
pain, and that brings people back to Allah subhana data, but there's also the school of
thankfulness, meaning when the good times come, if you're thankful to Allah subhanaw taala you can
actually have more good things coming to your life, because that's the promise of Allah subhanaw
taala for those who are thankful. Donate now, go to www dot daily reminder.org/donate and stay
