Previously I've spoken about
chakra
gratitude,
specifically to Allah subhanho wa Taala
for his many favors and blessings.
Today
as an extension to that same topic,
I'd like to say a few words about
shook
to the creation, not the Create.
Being thankful
and grateful to each other, recognizing and acknowledging
the good
that people do so each
and this is extremely important.
In fact, the title as advertised for today's talk is an ungrateful to the creation and grateful to the Creator. And these are actually the words of a famous hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
in which the Prophet SAW Allah hottie he was some of them said, as related by Imam Timothy and others from will say that 100 of the Allah and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said malaria scoring nurse lumea score Illa he who didn't thank the people
didn't thank Allah, He who didn't he who wasn't grateful to the people
wasn't grateful to Allah.
And there's a very another there's another very beautiful Hadith related by Imam demanded from Alicia Alicia orthogonal case or the Allah one in which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in a Shikara Nasod Allah, a scrotum Lin nurse, that indeed the most grateful of all people to Allah is the One who is the most grateful to the people himself.
So the more grateful a person is
to the creation.
In the words of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa salam he is more grateful to Allah.
And the most grateful person to Allah is the one who's the most grateful to the people.
These are Haviv tell us about the importance and necessity of recognizing the good that is done to us by others, the favors shown to us by others, acknowledging them, recognizing them being thankful for them, remembering them,
expressing gratitude for them, both verbally as well as indeed, repaying this kindness. That's part of grudge.
Again, in another Hadith led by man Timothy Rantala, he lives in a sullen
and Imam Abu Dhabi within this from job nom de la ville de la han home from job fo de la Vaughn.
That the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
minority Athlon
for widget Phil yet zip
woman limited for use me for in them and fitting them an ethnographer called shocker
woman cut them off
Whoever is given
a gift.
This is from the people. This isn't to do with Allah so much minority are gone for widget Phil Yahtzee. Whoever is given a gift.
And then he finds something
with which he can repay that favor, he can reciprocate that act of kindness and gift, then he should actually give it in return. And whoever doesn't find anything, the words of the Hadith continue, than at least fool youth Nick lets him praise the other person.
For he who praises has been grateful, and he who conceals the gift
of the benefit, then he has actually proven to be ungrateful.
So, there are many other Hadith as well what these a hadith collectively show
is that, besides gratitude to the last panel who would add
we need to be grateful, acknowledging, recognizing
and considerate
of the favors that we receive and the good that shown to us by from the creation
and our response should be first of all praise for that person.
And
verbal gratitude
again, Imam Timothy and others relate from somewhat of mosaic of of the Allah one of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, when Sonia ad Mara who from
for call and he finally he desert Allah hayleigh *a Avila fifth Anna, whoever had any good dintre him
and then he says to the doer of that good dessert, Allahu Allah, may Allah reward you
with good, so that's a dua that we recite to each other. So the words of the Hadith I'm assuming that you lay him out often for calling the phone to Zack Hola, hola.
Abdullah, fifth Sena,
whoever has any good done to him. And then he says to the doer of that good to Zack Hola, hey, Ira, may Allah reward you with good? And what has he done? What has he achieved? A blood thinner than he has gone to lengths in praise.
So what this hadith teaches us
is that
as I said earlier, in the light of all of these a hadith, we should recognize and acknowledge the kindness the favors shown to us and the good done to us by others. And how do we do that? Number one, verbal gratitude
and that's what this Headies shows a hadith of Osama donors eight that are the Allahu and that the first thing you should do is say to Zach Allah
that's not the equivalent of Thank you.
It says
thank you is an expression of gratitude, but does Arcola Hydra
is
immense in its meaning very profound in its mean, and as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, above the thinner, he has gone to lengths he has gone to extremes in praise, because the words Jazak Allahu ala are full of praise, and full of do.
Full of prayer and supplication.
It's a way of saying that you've done good to me.
Rather than me repaying your favor, I will of course do as much as I can. But right now instantly and immediately, I pray to Allah, I beseech Allah, I implore Allah
to reward you
in his infinite
power and mercy
and
such a do and so Zack Allah Hara is not just a verbal expression of gratitude similar to thank you
know,
it's a prayer. It's a dua for the other person
And it's a very beautiful day. It's due out goes to great lengths.
It's a phrase, which not only contains praise, but a supplication to Allah for Allah to reward this person. And it means a lot as a Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam said, for the obligor for thinner than, indeed he has gone to lengths in praise. So the first thing we should do
in acknowledging.
Registering, recognizing and remembering any good that someone does to us, is to pray for.
And the minimum prayer should be designed the law. And it doesn't always have to be said in the person's presence. Of course, it's good to say this in the person's presence. And then not just once but late
in their absence to sincerely pray for.
And we learn from the Hadith one, when a servant of Allah praise sincerely for another in that person's absence, than the angels actually say, well, like a mythical that May you receive it's like,
so we should pray for the person and praise them and thank them with the words just like a local hero in their presence. And then continuously thereafter, whenever we remember
the gift that they have given the good that they have done is to pray for them in their absence.
This is the beautiful teaching of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam. So the first thing is verbal grouch.
And the
second thing is,
well, even before verbal grudge, one needs to develop the ability to wreck
to recognize favors to recognize bound.
So, how will a person ever repay kindness
repay favors?
repay
the good that's done to them, or for them, if
they are unable to recognize it.
And this is actually a thing.
As I've mentioned in the previous two sessions, about gratitude to Allah subhanho wa taala.
We as human beings are ungrateful, by nature.
As Allah says in the Quran,
bocalee human, everybody is shocked
and very few of my servants are grateful.
These This is Allah's testimony, very few of my servants are grateful.
And as IBLEES shape on set to Allah,
that I will sit
he said to Allah, Allah give me restaurant, delay my judgment, delay my reckoning to the Day of Resurrection. So Allah said
you have been given respite,
you have been given some delay and time.
So what did shape on say, in that time that I have been given? Oh Allah, I will use that time
to mislead to misguide your creation, just as I am misguided.
For Bhima awakening, the accordion Nila Ahimsa radicals theme, familiar earthy and tn no human being Ed McKelvey him and a man in one Shema Ely. Well, our digital Federal Home shattering just as you had misguided me, I will surely sit in your straight path before them.
So, he believes Shavon said to Allah, I will block your straights path, I will occupy your straight path.
I will sit in your straight path before them before your creation. Then
I will come to them from in front from behind from their right from their left. I will come to them from all directions
When shape rang when he believes made this promise to Allah, that I will attack your creation, your servants, your bondsman, and bonds women from all angles from all sides.
Of course, by attacking them, I will mislead them, Skype them and will lead them astray. So what will they do? What's a great sin that Shavon promised Allah that your creation will commit once I block your straight path I occupied I sit in front of them on the straight path and I attack them from all directions. What will be the sin they commit? Well, our digital activism shocking, you will not find most of them grateful.
So ingratitude
is one of shaved lands grow greatest weapons in misleading and misguiding p.
So we as humans are extremely ungrateful.
Shavon knows that Allah subhanho wa Taala has testified to that in the Quran, or Kalina minute river the issue, and very few of my servants are grateful.
And this is why
we've been commanded time and time again to be grateful to Allah. So in gratitude is part of human nature. And since today's talk is about being grateful or ungrateful, to the creation, that the lack of gratitude that ingrained in gratitude in US
finds itself on display, even to each other.
In fact, very much so.
So before we start talking about how we can repay good favors, how we can repay kindness,
how we can repay
any good shunters dentists, we need to develop the ability
to constantly and continuously recognize that good, recognize that kindness recognize those favors, we actually blind to them a lot, but we truly are.
We are ungrateful to those who are closest to us.
Our family members,
our elders.
First of all, we should ask ourselves, do we even recognize the good the kindness and the favours shown to us by our parents?
We live in an age of internet.
Everyone thinks and believes that I deserve everything.
This is a shawl
This is what parents have to do.
So my job in life is to enjoy myself.
And my father's job is to look after me my mother's job is to look after me.
There's no recognition
How can there be acknowledgments? How can they be praise? How can they be any repayment?
If we
have a habit of failing or refusing to recognize to even recognize the goodness didn't
and it's no surprise this this stems from selfishness.
Selfishness
is
very dangerous.
It wrecks a person's Donia
it wrecks a person's life on Earth
and most importantly, the afterlife
selfishness
looking after oneself looking out for oneself. Always considering only oneself makes them blind to everything and everyone else.
It might succeed in the short
ruthless, selfish people do get their way.
But
it's short lived.
And it's corrupting and destructive, corrosive for the soul.
Forms peace of mind
as Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah says when we you have an FC for Allah it go home and will flee. Whoever is protected from the greed and avarice of his soul, then these are the ones who are successful.
Selfishness doesn't make a person successful.
It doesn't.
And ingratitude stems from selfishness.
Because a person in his arrogance believes that I'm entitled to everything.
If someone does something to me, for me,
someone shows me a favor or does me some good.
That's not because of their kindness.
That's not because of their goodness. It's not because they've done me a favor, I deserve it is their obligation they have to do it.
A person in their selfishness treats others like slaves, like servants, like attendants, who are there to serve them who are there to be used, abused and exploited.
And it's no wonder that we are so selfish with each other towards each
other we refuse to recognize any good done
by others tours. We even do that in our relationship with Allah Allah mentions in the Quran.
Allah says when
the servant is suffering and in need
when he calls out as we there must sell in Santa Barbara Duran Lee Jim be he Oh car Aiden, aka Emma, Phil, America, Schaffner and Hutto. Rahu, maraca ylim you're the owner Illa during Messiah karate Kazooie in an animal Serafina Mark gamble Jamba lon, Allah says
when
suffering when hurt
afflicts man
when any misfortune when any calamity doesn't have to be a major calamity know
when any suffering any loss. Any hurt
afflicts man, what does he do?
The man he prays to us he calls out to us how in what state like Jimmy was lying on his side
Oh God, then Obama while seated all outstanding, meaning in all postures at all times of the day. When he wakes up, he's still lying down he prays to us, oh Allah relieve me of this suffering or law remove this loss
or law remove this hurt. When he lies down again at night. He's still making dua to Allah.
During the day as he's walking as he's sitting as he's standing, in all movements, or postures at all times, in all locations, he's praying to Allah openly and in secret, in heart and in mind and in prayer verbally, loudly, silently, constantly turning to Allah or Allah relieve me of this suffering of this hurt and we've all been through it.
Then Allah says, For the maca chef and anvil Dora,
then when we do remove
his hurts from him, his suffering from him. What does he do in thanks, Merle, Columbia the owner, Guru remaster, he actually passes by, so Allah has describing human interaction. So imagine if
he has done some good to B.
So B is indebted to a
even if he doesn't bring up the favor that he did, and he shouldn't, even if he doesn't bring it up.
Beamish whenever he meets and even if P doesn't mention it,
then at least B won't behave awkwardly.
When p meet, say, B would, should think that this person has been kind to me,
has helped me.
So the least I should do is be courteous.
So the person will speak nicely, at least take some time out and go through the trouble of meeting him greeting him.
A
doesn't want any recognition.
But that's a good interaction even if none of them actually bring up the favor
or the charity given or show
that cordial greeting meeting that courtesy speaks volumes in itself.
Now imagine if be who is indebted to a publicly
a standing there be happens to pass by
and be totally blanks and ignores a
totally.
So he actually goes out of his way to ignore him to blank him
as though he doesn't even exist. So forget the fact that he did me any good. He doesn't even exist.
Imagine how he would fail. And imagine how lowly and how despicable such behavior is, if others are aware, too, that he has done b a favor. And this is the way B shows gratitude.
How arrogant, how foolish. How selfish, how despicable, that he actually just walks past blanking and ignoring a
without even acknowledging, forget acknowledging his gift or his charity, or his assistance or his favor. He doesn't even acknowledge His presence.
how lowly and how despicable is such behavior.
So Allah actually describes this interaction in relation to himself, that this is what men does to Allah.
When men needs Allah, he turns to Allah praying to Him, imploring Him besieging him supplicating to him, weeping before him, begging him
nights and days silently and loudly
while it's lying down on his side while seated while standing, and then when Allah does answer his prayers when Allah does relieve him of his suffering, what does he do? Allah says Mara, he passes by,
got Olivia Donna Illa Dori Messiah, as though he never ever called out to us for a hurt or a suffering that afflicted him
that's how ungrateful man is to Allah so equally so man is ungrateful to creation humans are just as ungrateful to each other
in another vessel loss problem with Allah says
We that Amana what either an unnatural insanity our adult wanna be journey be what you them so shovel for the DUA in rd. Allah says, when we bestow a favor when we do good
to men when we bestow
a favor upon man, what does he do? Arnold, he turns away.
He doesn't just turn away when I began EB a bear with me journey bit, and he distances himself with his side. What does that mean? He distances himself with his side, it's this
where a person
pulls oneself to one side, draws one's shoulders and arms in and away from the other person, as though to express disgust at the other person, like children do.
When they say E, and, or E, and they actually distance themselves. So the our bodily action of drawing in one shoulder and arms and side to express disgust at the other person and to demonstrate our ease.
You're gonna somehow a desire to achieve some sort of distance from the other person.
How do we do that? We do that by drawing in our side. So, this is the meaning of one Abidjan, maybe a bet would there be Jan Libby that he distances himself with his side. So can you imagine again law graphically describes the human interaction, that the way we turn away from each other, so not just turn heads away, but pull in our bodies,
to express our desire to achieve some sort of immediate distance from the other person out of disgust and out of content. So Allah says, what you that and insert it out, although when Irby journey, but when we bestow a favor upon man, he turns away and he draws
in his side,
to distance himself, that's from Allah.
With Emma social,
and when any suffering or any ill befalls him, how does he behave towards us, for those who are out you know, at ease, Allah says, all of a sudden, Lo, he is full of long, wide prayers.
It suddenly turns to Allah in long, why prayers and supplications. So this is how selfish humans are in their relationship with Allah subhanahu, with Allah the Creator. So inevitably, they are equally selfish or probably even more selfish, in their interaction and in their relationship with the creation with each other. So that brings us back to this topic of ingratitude to each other. How can we ever repay favors, if we even fail to
recognize and acknowledge
we really are very ungrateful, we truly are.
We do not recognize a good
done for us to us, by our fathers, our mothers, our elders, our teachers,
our seniors, even friends.
The stories or have heard personal stories of how ungrateful people have been
to even close family members.
Failing to even recognize the good that was done to them for them, let alone repay
it shock
we are deeply ungrateful. Only recently I heard the story of someone.
It's a historical story. It's not from this period, but historically.
There was an individual who was very wealthy.
And
he went to a place
and there he was a visitor to that area. He spread his wealth openly with open arms
with great generosity he gave the poor and the needy much wealth.
Then what happened is that he traveled on further
on his return journey on the return leg of his journey
before he just before he arrived, arrived back at this city, where he had been so generous and he had given so much wealth and charity.
His caravan
he had his entourage with him. His caravan was attacked by bandits.
So they took all of their wealth.
And this was just a few months after his initial visit. So his initial visit when he had been so generous to the inhabitants of that city, Muslims or he is a Muslim, they were Muslims.
So on the return journey, when his caravan was attacked,
they were deprived of their wealth. Their lives are spared. When he finally made it back to safety in the city. He was penniless
So one of the people, he approached some of the people that he had helped.
And he, he explained his plight to them.
Do you know what their reward was? They said to Him, we will help you.
But only on one condition
that we will give you money on the condition that you repay it, you pay it back.
And with interest
with interest.
And he was so desperate, he agreed to their terms. So the very recipients of his charity and donation and his gifts,
didn't give him money, they lent him money. And not even without interest, but with interest.
They gave it to him on the condition that he had to repaid with interest. And he was so desperate, he actually agreed.
I heard that very recently
relate to the story of one individual. And this is contemporary, where someone gave him a gift.
And a few months later, he actually returned to the donor of that gift and told him Do you want to buy this off me?
So he wanted to come back and sell the gift that he had received from the donor himself.
And he's sending it back to the domain said, Do you want to buy this off me.
So we are shameless in our in Gretsch. And shameless in our selfishness.
We can't
even be courteous enough to say thank you.
Someone told me very recently, that for the first time
they visited a Muslim country.
And traveling from the UK.
They visited this Muslim country for the first time in their lives a very young person.
And what they experienced is, and in fact, this was one of the first things they said to me, that they experienced was that when they try to be courteous
as people are courteous.
Hmm. Like,
if there's a cue, then they allow, they are courteous enough to allow someone else to
go ahead of them, or they open the door for someone and instead of just pulling the door open and passing through themselves, they actually open the door and then hold it open for the next person or next one or two people.
This person related that what they found shocking during their visit, is that with one or two notable exceptions,
almost every single act of grace and curtsy was totally ignored.
Almost as though these people felt entitled.
They felt entitled
that if you are opening the door for me,
then you're not showing me any kindness.
You're not doing me any favor.
You're not doing any favors to me.
I deserve it. So you have to do it.
And because I deserve it and because you have to do it.
Even though funnily enough, the person doing it was from the UK a far richer country than that country.
So you have to do it.
And since you have to do it, why should I even say thanks? Why should I even say thank you otters? Alchemilla Hera, well even smile.
Smiling is an act of charity
let that run off and wallow until kaha can be watched in bulk
do not
not be contemptuous of any good deed, even if it simply means meeting your fellow brother with a pleasant face, being pleasant, smiling, being cheerful, that in itself is an act of charity.
To smile is an act of charity.
Pouring water from a jug, or a beaker into a cup is an act of charity. What does that mean? Imagine you are at
an invitation, you're a guest, someone else's, or guests, you both equal guests. And you're sitting down, you're eating, there's a glass
empty, they are into glasses for drinking. And
the person opposite
extends their hand stretches out to pick up a glass, you know that they want water. And they take the glass and they extend their hand then towards the jug or the beaker.
And you suddenly grab it and you pour water for them in their glass.
Just that one Act is
an Act of sadaqa. It's an act of charity.
It's hugely rewarding.
That's generosity, that's courtesy, That's kindness, that's charity.
And the other person's response should then should then be desirable.
That's the least and they should requite it, they should do the same, they should reciprocate it.
So
even smiling,
being cheerful and pleasant to another person, that's an act of charity without any enunciation on the other person's part. And if someone does you good, like open the door for you or
make way for you, or step aside for you or give you their place in the queue.
Then that they have gone over and above and beyond the GTE. So you should be saying deserve Kamala Hara you should be praising them. And not just by word, but at least being pleasant.
But Subhan Allah this one person, shockingly, told me that this was a very negative experience for them, because they went with great hope that I'm going to a Muslim country. I'm going to be spending some time there. They were very excited a very young person. And then what happened.
They discovered that some of the most basic teachings of religion were being ignored, such as
even being grateful or shoveling some gratitude or any expression. It's like they were completely blank. You open the door for them, and you stand there like a slave and servant, and they just arrogantly walk past without any acknowledgement. Don't even catch the glam statue
this selfish, arrogant attitude is not what Allah is other sorts of Allah Allahu Salam have taught. Allah and His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam have taught us you minute.
And the obligation of being grateful to each other, acknowledging and recognizing good, but we will never rise to the level of acknowledging and recognizing good if we remain and feel and continue to think selfish.
arrogantly believing that we deserve all of this we've done.
Let us learn to acknowledge the good that others do to us and remember it
actually remember it
recently
I came across an item, which is no longer usable,
because it's become out of date.
And someone gave me it as a gift many, many years ago.
Just one item Someone gave it to me as a gift.
And many,
and what I did is
I remember who gave it and when I came across it, I took a quick picture of it and sent it to that person.
And initially, they were confused, saying What's this?
I then call them after one or two days. And I said, you're probably wondering why I sent you this random picture. And indeed, they were confused.
And I reminded them that many, many years ago, you gave me this as a gift.
So
when I came across again, as Remembrance, and as an act of gratitude, I just reminded you of it to show that I haven't forgotten.
And I've done that on a few occasions when people have given me gifts, even many, many years later, when I still have it.
People often give me a tool, perfumes.
And I actually, this is what I do, I write that I have so many at all.
I actually write down the name of the sheet, along with the name of the person who gave it. So if you saw my bottles of it, they actually have names on them.
Why do I do that? Not because I forget. But
as an act of appreciation, and acknowledgement. And then what do I do whenever I apply any
and it's from someone I give them to.
A few days ago
I came across an ad someone gave me
in the 90s.
And I still remembered
I was traveling with the person and I remember exactly where and when they bought it for me.
And that was in the 90s.
I didn't come across it because it was hidden away in a cupboard. But along amongst the many bottles, it was just that was just one and I picked it up, I applied it
that didn't have the name Buster remembered.
We need to learn, to acknowledge and to appreciate and to remember, and be grateful not just once but repeatedly to all of those who have done us a favor.
We live in a time of great selfishness even in religion, Allah, even in religion.
People don't care.
People want your time your attention
to serve their own and to meet their own needs.
And once your usefulness has expired, they discard you like a rag.
And they do that not only in dunya, but also in the
law. Even in the
there are countless stories. So our ingratitude stems from selfishness. Until we learn to trample that selfishness
and become more altruistic, become more selfless, become less selfish.
We will never be able to rise to the level of true grouch. And if we can't even learn to be grateful to each other, for the small gifts and favors that we render unto each other, how will we ever be able to be grateful to Allah our Creator, for his immense bout?
We will remain low, narrow, shallow, despicable, selfish individuals till the end of our days, even in our relationship with Allah. We have to rise above that. Allah has made us to be greater than that
this, this degree of selfishness, even animals Don't stoop to this level. They really don't. A lot they don't.
Speaking of selflessness only a few days ago, as often happened, someone sent me a link and then from the one link, I ended up watching another link. And what was the link? It was about animals that have gone out of their way to save other animals of different species.
So there's one video where it begins with the bat
At a bear saving a crow.
In the wart a bear,
you actually have predators,
predators, saving
other animals rather than harming.
And one of the other videos that was linked was all a herd of elephants in India, where a baby elephant
had become trapped in a pit. A baby elephants have become trapped in a pit. So the local villages
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, the local villages, attempt to Save the Elephants by helping it climb out of the pit by shoving soil and creating some sort of rampart or
rampart that the
baby elephants could climb up.
So they took a digger and they were shoving soil on one side. And eventually, the baby elephant managed to clamber out of the pit. And when it comes down to the pit, he went in one direction and the herd of adult elephants came and took the baby elephant away.
And as it as they took it away, now we don't know Allah ha them. But the villagers suddenly start exclaiming and shrieking in happy exactly, it's an excellent explanation because it's appears and this is how the video is portrayed, that the adult elephants in the herd were all raising their tongues and saluting the villagers and expressing their gratitude for them having saved the baby elephant, and they actually turned around and did it before departing.
So
that was the link. From there, I ended up watching the next one, which was about the
animals from different species who go out of their way to save other animals of species, including predators, predators, saving
more than once, which they could have just crushed in an instant.
So even animals do not stoop to this level of selfishness, Allah.
Allah has created us to be great.
We need to learn to recognize the kindness shown to us by others, as Allah says in the Quran, hello desert sun il Ehsaan. The reward of good is nothing but good.
And the prophets of Allah it was seldom said And I'll end with this
align with the very same Hadith few Hadith that I mentioned in the beginning. One, the Hadith will say the Hadith of the Allah muslim you screeners let me assure you
he who wasn't grateful to the people wasn't grateful to
relate to them I'm dealing with Iran to Allah here and others. The hadith Imam aqueduct, mandolins, Muslim from Atlas ace are the Allahu and
in a Scara Nasir Allah a Shikara
indeed the most grateful of all people to Allah is the most grateful of people to the people
and as
prophets Allah Allah Hardy who seldom said in the Hadith lated by or someone's gonna say that or the Allah I'm recorded by man Timothy, a Buddha with an others
but called by man did with the reference Allah He had a Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam said, I'm assuming it lay him out. Oh, from for Corleone family, he deserved Allah Hydra, blood or fifth and whoever has any good done to them.
Then they say to the doer of that good to Zack Allahu Allah, may Allah reward you with good
then indeed he has gone to lengths in praise.
And the Hadith later imam of Buddha within his son and Imam Timothy in a sunnah
from JB radi, Allahu
Javid Mantilla for the Allah Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, they are UCLA and for Wajid foliate zip
whoever is given a gift
and then he finds something with which to repay that gift.
Fully exhibit that lets him repay that favor and that kindness and that gift with this gift
woman the muted, fill youthfully and whoever doesn't find anything to give in return than at least fill youth money, let him praise the other person
because when ethna for chicken, woman ketema facut kefir for whoever does praise, the gift of the donor, the renderer of kindness and if the one who's shown the favor for chicken then indeed he has been grateful.
When cut them a * Kapha and whoever has whoever conceals a good shown and then by someone else, * golfer, then that person has been grateful has been ungrateful.
So if someone
and it's not a question of if it's Pamela, it's not even a question of if, who is there amongst us who hasn't been helped, assisted saved,
supported
by others,
who hasn't been gifted something by others?
Who hasn't been shown kindness or a favor by others, is every little thing, every little thing.
If someone gives you time,
they've done you a favor.
If someone shares a meal with you, they've done you a great favor. If someone gives you water to drink, they've shown you craving
if ALLAH SubhanA, who with Allah, on the day of reckoning, will remind you
that he gave you as we learned from the Hadith which are related last week and before
that, indeed, one of the first things that will be said to the servant on the day of reckoning is at the mercy halacha just Schmuck, when we come in and mark elaborated to be did we not give you a healthy body? And then the second thing, that's what I wish to mention here, did we not give you cold water to drink, if Allah on the day of reckoning, will remind the human being that I gave you water to drink cold water?
If Allah can remind his servant, of His favor of having given water, a sip of water to drink, then do not think that when a human being gives another human being a sip of water to drink, that in itself is an act of kindness, grace and faith, but of course it is. So it's not a question of if it definitely isn't. Who is that amongst us? Who hasn't been the recipient?
of another person's charity, kindness, generosity, favor gifts
and sharing,
sharing of time of emotion
a person's assistance and help. Who is that amongst us who hasn't received that attention?
So it's not a question of if every one of us
is a recipient.
And what do we do or what should we do, we should learn to appreciate acknowledge, to reciprocate these favors, to repay these favors, to make dua for the other person by saying to Zack, Allahu Allah
by praising them to others,
that's the meaning of praising them as well that we praise them to others.
Not flatter them, but praise them to other speak good of them to
let their kindness and their grace in their favor and their generosity and their good character be known to others.
That is a form of repayment
and if we can find it in ourselves to physically or in military terms, to repay that favor, we should if we have the means to do so.
And not just like for like the try and give more.
Luck.
One of Allah subhanahu wa danas names is shackled.
And Shikou means
extremely grateful. Allah calls himself extremely grateful
one of His Names are *ging
the grateful.
So Allah calls himself the extremely grateful one, the grateful one
What's the meaning of Allah being grateful?
It's very simple.
When a human being does something good, Allah subhanho wa Taala acknowledges it recognizes it, appreciates it and rewards that person abundantly for that and with more than he or she deserves.
Allah teaches as Gretsch
I pray that Allah is crowned with the hour that enables us to stand. May Allah make us amongst those who are
grateful, not only to Allah, the Creator, but also to each other amongst creation. By learning to be grateful to each other for small things. We will hopefully learn to be grateful to Allah for his immense and
innumerable favors and bounties. May Allah maker's marks grateful ones, and may Allah may be May we receive the gratitude of Allah subhanho wa Taala for our meager deeds, so that he may envelop envelop us in His mercy, will Allah wa salam ala Abdullah he will slowly and obedient while he was Army, each marine Subhanak a lot more behind the shadow a La ilaha illa and stuff like that.
