Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says in this beautiful

00:00:02 --> 00:00:06

Hadith never does Allah give a gift to a slave then that slave

00:00:06 --> 00:00:10

turns around to thank Allah for it except that his gratitude is

00:00:10 --> 00:00:14

better for him than the gift that he got. You have to understand why

00:00:14 --> 00:00:19

Allah gives so readily and so easily because the gift itself and

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

your happiness with it isn't the end goal. The end goal is that

00:00:22 --> 00:00:26

your relationship with Allah will develop, you will transform and so

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

the prophets I sent him said you worship Allah out of fear first

00:00:28 --> 00:00:32

than the one who saves you from that fear and from that pain, you

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

naturally if you're a normal human being you will love that person

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38

then a person gives you a gift you love the gift if you have any

00:00:38 --> 00:00:42

decency. You start to be grateful and loving to the one who gave you

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

the gift until there comes a time when this person has saved you so

00:00:45 --> 00:00:51

much and given you so much all of your attention is on that person

00:00:59 --> 00:01:02

likewise is are conditioned with ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada and we

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05

realize the real doer and the real absolute protector and Giver is

00:01:05 --> 00:01:09

ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada The reason he saves us is so that we can pay

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

attention to him and not a beagle winter. Allah says in suited to

00:01:12 --> 00:01:16

Nigeria to your Lord as the end the end of what our focus a person

00:01:16 --> 00:01:21

loves himself first and from there asks Allah and deals with Allah

00:01:21 --> 00:01:25

for the sake of himself. But once you realize how generous The Giver

00:01:25 --> 00:01:29

is, how powerful the giver is, how subtle The Giver is, how loving

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

the giver is, how much he gave, and how many obstacles there were

00:01:32 --> 00:01:35

in front of us, yet it still happened and how all his promises

00:01:35 --> 00:01:39

come true. Now your focus starts to turn to Allah and this hadith

00:01:39 --> 00:01:42

of the prophets of Allah and he was Adam says that your gratitude

00:01:42 --> 00:01:46

is the end result. Gratitude is not just being polite and saying

00:01:46 --> 00:01:50

thank you. The gratitude in our religion is a recognition of who

00:01:50 --> 00:01:54

gave you this and as a result, I am going to utter words and

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57

sentiments in my heart of thankfulness and love that's why

00:01:57 --> 00:02:00

sugar is to everybody to thank people is for everybody but

00:02:00 --> 00:02:03

haven't is only to Allah. Because Hamed is the recognition of who's

00:02:03 --> 00:02:07

the absolute giver and it comes with worship and with love to this

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09

is why Allah subhanaw wants out of grants people do out when they

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12

least expect to know they feel that they don't even deserve it

00:02:12 --> 00:02:17

because of this hadith. Your gratitude for that gift is in fact

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

the end results and it's what Allah Tada wanted for you and a

00:02:19 --> 00:02:24

person who receives and then bites the hands that fed him. This is

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

one of the worst people and if a person doesn't want to be like

00:02:26 --> 00:02:29

that with other humans, he won't be like that with Allah subhanaw

00:02:29 --> 00:02:33

taala. Hence as a result, constant dua for protection and for

00:02:33 --> 00:02:38

desires. otherworldly and worldly is what leads to a person's

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

spiritual development and advancement until they love Allah

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

for the sake of Allah meaning they love Allah for himself,

00:02:44 --> 00:02:47

irrespective of whether they're protected or given. They love

00:02:47 --> 00:02:51

Allah subhana wa Tada just because he's Allah because they know what

00:02:51 --> 00:02:55

he's capable of, and the power that he has and his generosity in

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

their past life experience. If you liked the video that you just
