As we continue our theme, rarely is the fact that life is as the
Quran says Leah blue, a test.
And among the test of life for each individual are the skills,
the challenges, the trials, the tribulations, the talents, the
abilities, the knowledge, the position, the position, the
authority, the power that each one has. All of these are part of the
Allah who has made you vigilance managers inheritors of the earth.
He has positioned us position you in ranks, he has positioned you in
ranks, in order that he may test you in what He has granted for
you.
What this illustrative verse indicates, is that people have
different levels of the Rajat as diverse is levels of capacity, or
levels should however, not be negatively construed, or
understood
that some people are superior to others.
Rather, acknowledge the fact that because each person is unique,
each person is somewhat special. Each situation may be different,
and all circumstances are not the same. You have one year, ask a
student who failed Lucozade University.
If you want to know the value of one month, ask a mother who has
given birth to a premature baby. If you want to know the value of
one hour, ask a lover waiting to meet the beloved, if you want to
know the value of a millage as the person who just missed the bus, if
you want to know the value of a second, as someone who just
escaped death in an accident, and if you want to know the value of a
millisecond, as the person who came second in the Olympics,
context may differ.
But significance depends upon the context sometimes. One of the most
negative things that people do, that we do, is comparing ourselves
to others in a disparaging Alinea reproachful manner. And sometimes
we do this to other people we do even to our children, comparing
them negatively with other people. And this negative assessment of
the self makes people pessimistic, makes them feel hopeless, makes
them feel useless almost instill that you will look at nature. Both
the lion and the shark are outstanding hunters. But the lion
cannot hunt in the ocean. That's because a shark cannot hunt on
land does not make him less of a hunter. Both of the value and
status as hunters, but each one in their own territory within their
own context, where the capacity comes to the fore. So different
things have different significance.
But each one in his own context. Giving a bunch of flowers to a
loved one is not the same, that the rose can make a better salad.
Each has its own value in its own context. And thus, value comes
from the inherent capacity of a person. Another thing
we can reflect on the Wi Fi either rota has the meal. lt fall makan.
He said, Do not look for your self worth in the eyes of other people
or in comparison with other people. Look for your worth within
your own consciousness. Firstly,
the realization that different people are in different
situations. It each and every one is unique. And each one
significant, valuable
in his or her own context,
to life is a test. And each of us a part of the test. And each one
of us is being tested according to what we have been granted.
We only pass a test with faith. If we do the best we can with what we
have from wherever we are. And Allah will hold us accountable to
the extent of our capacity. Now you can only follow nevsun is
ours. I don't test you. I don't put you in a position of
difficulty without the capacity for you to be able to handle it.
Thirdly, in a world so highly critical of everyone, but of Hope
rather than gloom and despair, instead of being over critical of
ourselves, looking down upon ourselves or looking down upon
others being buried in negativity. Let us inspire ourselves with
goodness and inspire others with positivity.
shows that we look up to Allah and be elevated by being the best that
we can be in any given situation Akula kolyada was tougher Allah wa
