Mustafa Khattab – Ramadan Gems 4

I was going to give a talk before

I show up.

Just to introduce the idea that we're going

to decide today for I show up.

I'm gonna just today, I guess, tonight, I

want to learn about Islam. I want to

learn how to pray, so I got busy

with them. So

Why do you like the Allah subhanahu wa

ta'ala?

Well, there are so many things to be

thankful for. The fact that He gave you

the name of Islam, and this is what

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,

you would be worshiping other human beings or

animals as some people do. Some people worship

such shaitan, some people worship idols, stones, some

people worship the stars, the fire, some people

even worship lights and roaches. So Allah subhanahu

wa ta'ala,

his grace.

He gave you this nahmah of his love

so you don't have to worry about all

these things.

Thank you, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the nahmah

of life.

Thank him for the nahmah of the eyes

that you can see with, the ears you

can hear with,

the nose you can smell with, the tongue

you can talk with.

All these are naa from Allah Subhanahu Wa

Ta'ala that you should be thankful for. Just

imagine to that when you go to your

home and you are in your living room,

just close your eyes

and try to make it to your your

bedroom.

Close your eyes and just feel your way

with with your hands

or just walk with one foot.

See how difficult your life is. Okay?

If you don't have ice, how are you

gonna go to school? Will you be able

to drive around and play basketball or hockey

or soccer?

Can you watch the World Cup? You can't.

Your life will be difficult. Will it be

easy to find a job? Think about it.

Will you be able to find a beautiful

wife? Who knows? If they if they marry,

Maya Tyson's, I believe sister or sister who

bites,

You you never know because you can't see.

Your life will become difficult. You have all

these favors, and you don't know what to

heck for. You keep whining. You keep whining

all the time.

You whine about shaking a room with someone.

Well, there are millions of homeless people in

the world.

You whine about the food you give out

of God. Well, there are people who fast

the whole day and they don't have to

something to break their fast with.

You know, think about all these things. Okay?

At least you have a place to stay,

you You have food to eat. You have

family.

Those of you who are married and have

kids and so on and so forth, there

are millions of people in this world who

are homeless.

They are jealous.

They are mindless.

They are carless, they don't have a car,

they don't have a place to stay. So

at least say thank you to Allah

There is a lot to be thankful for.

And this is why Rasulullah

used to say,

until his his feet were swollen and they

said, yeah, Rasulullah, you don't have to do

this in buffet. He said,

should not I be a grateful and a

thankful servant of Allah? So the prophet

used his Ibad as a way of saying
