Taleem al Quran 2012 – P21 212B Tafsir Luqman 12

Welcome, Tina Luqman al Hekmatyar Manish Kula. And certainly, we gave wisdom to look man saying that be grateful to Allah.

Remember the surah is a murky surah and the emphasis is on a clock, on morals, on beliefs on faith. And in the previous ayat that was emphasized, oneness of Allah subhanaw taala was mentioned. the truthfulness of the Quran is being emphasized over there. And over here the advice of look man is mentioned. Rather the advice that Allah gave to look man is given and then further the advice that look man gave to his son is mentioned.

It is as if the people of Mecca are being told that this is the Quran. It calls you to that which is best it calls you to wisdom. This is a wise instruction. But if you don't want to accept the words of the Quran, you don't want to accept the words of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, then look at your own icons of wisdom. Look at the people that you you refer to when it comes to wisdom. Look at the people whom you consider wise. What did they say? How is it that they lived? What is it that they worshipped?

Look man was someone who was very famous in Arabian culture you could say or in their Hadith. All right, in their conversations in their stories. There were many stories of McMahon that were well known amongst the Arabs. Now who is Look man who was Look man, look man, remember he was a wise man will live long time before the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and amongst the Arabs he was known as someone who was very, very wise, meaning the stories of his wisdom were famous amongst the Arabs. So anytime, you know a story of an intelligent person had to be mentioned they would mention the story of Lachman words of wisdom had to be mentioned somewhere coded somewhere they were caught the

words off look man All right. So over here the machine are being told you don't follow the Quran. You don't follow Mohammed Coronavirus. Look at look man, what did he do? How did he live? He also worshipped Allah alone.

Now look when there is some difference of opinion Some said that he was a prophet and others say that no, he was not a prophet. Some say that he lived at the time of the Buddha or his sunnah. Some say that he was a call the at the time of the elder his Salam, Allahu Allah. The thing is that we don't have any proof for any of this. It's all just conjecture and there is no no point in in going into this discussion. Because Allah subhanaw taala has not mentioned it. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam did not tell us about the background of Lookman. But what we do learn from the Quran is that Laquan was known for his wisdom. All right, so he's known for his hikma

one of the stories of Lachman that is given is that look, man was actually a slave. All right, he was a slave. And once his master he told him, slaughter an animal and bring me the best parts of it, the most delicious parts of it. And look, man, he brought the heart and the tongue. So the master was like, okay, the heart and tongue. Nice. Then after some time, he said, Bring me the worst parts of it. And he brought the same thing heart and the tongue. For the master got it, you know, a little worried here, or rather confused here that when I asked you for the best parts, you brought the same and when I asked you for the worst parts, you brought the same, and look mindset that the heart and

the tongue, if they're the best, then there's nothing else in the body that could be better than them. And if they're the worst, then there could be nothing in the body that could be worse than the heart and the tongue.

There are many other stories about Luqman which aren't narrative telling us that he was a slave. Some say that he was Ethiopian. Some say he was Egyptian. Some say he was from a place called Nubia. Some say he was from Sudan. Allahu Arnhem, where he was from, and that really is something irrelevant to us. It doesn't really concern us. There is a story about Lachman, which is mentioned even to be Hatem. He reported it, that look, man was a slave. All right, and then Allah subhanaw taala gave him a lot of honor. He Rafa Lachman Hakim be Hekmati He, Allah subhanaw taala exalted Him, He raised Him, you know, in his status in his position amongst his people because of his

wisdom. So what happened that look when he got so much attention, people will come and learn from him from his wisdom that once a man came to him and he recognized him he said, I'm sure the same guy who used to back in the day look after sheep with me. When we shepherds together, are you the same person? And look man said yes, I am. He said what how

And how did you get up here so high? And look man replied further Allah by recognizing the other the value of Allah subhanaw taala by giving Allah his rank, whatever that will Amana and by fulfilling responsibility will sit will Hadees and by speaking the truth without a key mela Yamini and leaving that which doesn't concern me. So these are the things that brought me success in this life. It is said that look man was dark skinned he was if European Egyptian Nubia, Sudan and people from these places are known for their dark skin and what happened is that once Saeed bin Musa, a man came to him, right, and he started complaining to him, that people treat me differently because of the color

of my skin. So even Musa you have said, Let the Zen min Edgley Unaka S word. Do not feel sad, because your skin is dark. For a no can. I'm in here in NASCI Fela Minnesota because of the best people, people who were chosen. Were also dark. There were dark skinned. And you mentioned three people over here. Bilal are the Longhorn who he mentioned manager who was the molar of aroma Venkata Alberto de la hora. And who and he mentioned look man hacking. You see it is our foolishness that we think people have a certain skin color. They are smart, they are intelligent, and people have a different skin color. They are perhaps not that smart, not that intelligent. This is our

foolishness. This is our stupidity, really. It really shows how unaware how ignorant we are, that we think smartness is by the color of skin. It's not by the color of skin intelligence is as we will learn over here. The standards are different near Allah subhanho wa taala. So look, man, Hakeem, known for his wisdom. If you think about it, he was famous for his wisdom amongst the Arabs and people you look man to be a slave, who was once upon a time a slave. Imagine an Arab society where slaves were looked down upon. Imagine slaves had no value whatsoever. But despite his social status, local man was famous for his wisdom amongst the Arabs. In Arab society, in that culture,

specifically in Morocco, for example, people of dark skinned were looked down upon, but what happened? Look, man was known for his wisdom. So intelligence, high position, high rank doesn't come with our physical appearance. It comes with what is in our brain, it comes with what is in our heart, it comes with our actions. In Hadith we learned the Prophet sallallahu sallam said that Allah does not look at your faces and your wealth, because he's the one who gave them to you, isn't it? What is it that Allah looks at your heart and your deeds? Go ahead?

That way, shall we say that anywhere for obey the law? Allah, who will Jehovah is your shadow. Yes, that knowledge, it raises, you know, the house, the structure that has no pillar, no pillar to it, meaning something that has nothing else to stand on.

But knowledge will elevate it. And on the other hand, ignorance is something that destroys that demolish his old structure, meaning if a person has every other reason to feel great, but he doesn't have knowledge, then that is enough to degrade him.

I heard in a lecture by Shia Omarosa Minh that Musa the salam was also dark skinned. Yeah, exactly. So anyway, Look, man, Hakeem. You know, he's known as Look man, hacky Look, man, though, wise, who's known for his wisdom, because that is what matters.

So Allah subhanaw taala says what occurred and certainly attain out we gave local mana to look man a Hekmatyar wisdom we gave to look man wisdom. Notice the eye begins with what occurred what and what does and mean that what has been mentioned is connected with the previous what was mentioned previously, who was mentioned previously, which individual Wamena NASCI mania study lehle Hadees, not Robin Harris, who used to buy Lawal Hadith in order to mislead people from the way of Allah. Here Allah subhanaw taala mentioned someone who was wise because another than hateth did something that was extremely foolish. Look, man was wise. And hikma Allah subhanaw taala gave him that

What is Hickman? Hickman remember? First of all, as they now look man and hikma we gave to look man wisdom. Remember that wisdom and knowledge they are gifts of Allah subhanaw taala. They are not attained by mere study, okay, meaning a person can study, he can read a lot, he can watch a lot. He can interact with people a lot. But it's not necessary that he will retain everything that he will understand everything that he will grasp everything that he'll be able to benefit from it.

And on the other hand, there are other people who don't get that much exposure, but their level of knowledge, their level of wisdom is amazing. So Allah subhanaw taala gives wisdom, just as He gives knowledge and other blessings. So we gave to look man, hikma knowledge, wisdom, they are divine gifts. Also, remember one thing that wisdom hikma is different from?

Okay, your aim is knowledge. You know, awareness of what is what? Knowing what is what this is. All right. Now a person may have a lot of knowledge. But that doesn't mean that they also have hikma that they also have wisdom. Okay, think about it. When we do something wrong.

Okay.

And somebody asks us or we ask ourselves, don't you know this is wrong?

Don't you know you're not supposed to do this? What do you tell yourself? Yeah, I know.

I know. So we know. Still we do something wrong knowingly, isn't it? Why? Because we may have but we don't have hikma. What is hikma hikma? Well, there are a che fee. My Helene to put something where it belongs where it should be. This is what hikma is,

wisdom to put something where it belongs. So you know something should be done hikma is do it. You know that something should not be done hikma is and don't do it.

You understand? So hikma is basically the ability to put knowledge into action. This is what it is simple. In simple words, this is essentially what wisdom is to put knowledge into action. And you can't put knowledge into action if you haven't learned it if you haven't acquired it, if you haven't understood it, if you haven't internalized it. If you don't remember it at that time, you can't put it in action. Right? So if you think about it, knowledge, having knowledge doesn't mean that you will certainly have wisdom. But if you have wisdom, what does it mean that you have knowledge, so why not attain our Lokmanya Hikmah we gave to Lachman hikma meaning we gave him knowledge and

wisdom. We gave him wisdom. Wisdom means that he definitely was given knowledge as well.

A lousy Mallozzi he said that hikmah is the ability to do omul according to your L.

It's the ability to practice what you've learned. Even our best said that hekman is intelligence and faham Wafaa rasa. Its intelligence, understanding and foresight. It's the ability to understand in the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala says, well, may you tell HEC Mata Faqad oto hyaluron kathira. Whoever has been given wisdom then he's been given a lot of goodness. A lot of goodness.

He know about hikma, we've also learned that it's making the right decision at the right time. Right? Because when you're making a decision, you're basically deciding to do something.

Right. So you're making the right decision meaning you to do something or to not do something according to what according to your knowledge.

That I should say this over here. No, I should not say this over here. I should say it in this way. No, I should not say it in that way. Right. So HCA is the ability to transform knowledge into action to really apply what you've learned.

hikma is from hakama, and Hakka is also explained as restraint hakama restraint to hold back, because what does wisdom do?

What does wisdom do? It forces you to hold yourself on a certain for example, mode of behavior, right? It makes you comply by certain guidelines by certain knowledge that you've acquired rules that you have learned. When you hold yourself, you know, on a certain behavior, do this or don't do this, this is wisdom.

Okay, so wisdom prevents a person from doing what is harmful in this world or in the next world. It restrains a person on the proper path.

The sigma.

So what are called attain our Lokmanya hikma we gave to Lachman al hikmah. Wisdom, Allah gave it to him.

And there are so many who have knowledge, but they don't have wisdom.

If you think about it, weren't there? You know, for example, Abuja How did he not know that the Prophet sallallahu Sena was true?

He knew right?

For what is it that he lacked

wisdom? Because if he had even a little bit of wisdom, what would he do? He would believe in the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam when he didn't believe in the Prophet salallahu Salam, did he do foolish things, foolish things, then he

IBLEES does he not have in? That Allah is Allah, that Allah deserves to be obeyed? Doesn't he ever him that the Day of Judgment is coming? Doesn't he have realm? That there's hellfire? He knows. But what is it that he lacks wisdom?

Because that knowledge is not benefiting him? So he's doing the most foolish things leading people away from Allah subhanaw taala This is so foolish. You know, when you think about children, and you wonder shaitan knows there's hell at the end. But still,

have you ever thought about this in your head? If shaytaan repented, would ALLAH forgive him?

What if she Athan did Toba? Have you ever had that thought? Why didn't show up on the Tober? I mean, if you think about a Shelton could do Toba but he doesn't, and the fact that he doesn't, and the fact that he won't, what does that show? Foolishness despite knowledge,

foolishness, despite awareness Well, Aya villa, may Allah protect us from such foolishness that we know yet we don't care? That we know yet we don't benefit from what we know we don't bring it in our action, that knowledge doesn't restrain us. It doesn't prevent us from doing what is harmful.

Yes.

But Elmet something that Allah gives to your heart. For example, I was just thinking, people who are becoming Muslim, I like give them the wisdom to go back. And sort of Rebekah tells you that even though that Allah can make them Muslim, the entire world their heart is he didn't put that wisdom in them more like so. It's a wisdom it's something that Allah provides to us and this is why if you think about it, whenever wisdom is mentioned that Allah is the One who gave it right, well my you tell Hikmah to whoever is given wisdom, given not that he acquires it is given a given by who Allah subhanahu wa Tada, alright. It is said so Hekmati. Mahato Allah, that the head of wisdom is fear of

Allah.

This is the peak of it.

The peak of wisdom is to fear Allah, this is the core This is what brings wisdom This is what makes a person wise, fear of Allah subhanaw taala. And over here what is mentioned, when Tina look man and hikma Allah gave wisdom to look man

and his school Allah and that Oscar be grateful Lila, he to Allah. This was the wisdom that Allah gave to look man. What was the wisdom, gratitude to Allah subhanaw taala

This is the first part of wisdom to thank Allah the Exalted, what is the show that gratitude is a sign of wisdom. If a person is grateful to his Lord, that is a proof that this person is grateful. And if a person is ungrateful, what is that a proof off? What is that a proof of foolishness.

Wisdom is to recognize who you are, and who your maker is.

I am the recipient, and Allah is the giver. Always.

I am always receiving Allah is always giving.

Whether it is that I'm receiving His blessings, or it is that I'm receiving His forgiveness, or it is that I'm receiving his pardon, whatever I am receiving, I am MIDI, and He is the giver, the I Am the defendant and he is the independent. I need him and he does not need me.

This is wisdom, this recognition that I am the servant and Allah is the Lord. And basically what that means is Oh Allah, thank you. All Praise to you all things

next to you, you are perfect.

This is chakra. This is wisdom and ashcan Lilla. So the wisdom look man was given was Oscar Oscar, what is asked? Could you be grateful? Meaning you must be grateful? What does that mean that no matter what the situation is, no matter what the context is, find a reason to be grateful, because you always have a reason to be grateful. What is sugar sugar is basically erythroid often Nirma and Ilhan Nirma. Here until often Nerima meaning acknowledging, recognizing the blessing, and then Ilhan Nerima showing appreciation for that blessing.

So, first of all it is to feel to recognize that blessing were in your heart and not just think about it, but really feel it, you know, feel that emotion of gratitude in your heart. And not just that, you know, it's sugar with the color, but then sugar with the Lisanne and also the Jawara.

To express gratitude verbally, and then to also prove it with one's actions like the older s&m, they are MaryLu Ellada woulda, chakra Allah says work or family of their would ingratitude. Meaning show that gratitude how, with your actions, prove it.

This is Shaka. It arity Rafa, Nirma and Ilhan Nirma. So whoever thinks Allah has shown wisdom, and whoever is ungrateful to Allah has shown foolishness. A wise person is the one who knows where his blessings are coming from,

if you think about it, a thankful person, right? Is he going to be positive?

Seriously? Sometimes a little too positive, right? But but they're going to be positive, right? Are they going to fuss about the problem that they're in or work towards a solution?

work towards a solution?

Isn't that intelligent?

Seriously, isn't that intelligent? Like, for example, if you're driving, and you realize that you're out of gas in your car, almost finished. Okay. Now, what is that you get angry over there, you hit the steering wheel, and you look for your phone? And you're like, where's my husband?

You just call him and you give him a piece of your mind?

Okay, is that wise? No, because if the police officer drove by and saw you with your phone, you could be in a lot of problems. Right? What is intelligence over here? What's the solution? Now? The solution is stop somewhere. Look where the nearest gas station is? Isn't it? You're working towards a solution? Is that intelligent? That is intelligent. But tell me something. When is it that you can work towards a solution when you are grateful that 100 Allah, you have your wallet with you?

Right? When you're grateful that Alhamdulillah you are not on the highway yet.

When you're grateful that are humbled Allah, you know how to fill the gas yourself.

You understand? Gratitude forces you to be positive, it forces you to work towards solutions and not sit with your problems. And that is wisdom. This is the wisdom that who was given. Look man was given. And if you think about it, all the prophets of Allah had this noble quality. New Harley's salaam when he's mentioned in the whole can out then Shakira he was a grateful servant. When Ibrahim Ali Salam has mentioned Shakeela Lee and Rumi he he was grateful for his blessings, the prophets on a lot is on when he would press one as so much what would he say If Allah Hakuna Arden? shockula? Should I not be a grateful servant? So all of the intelligent, wise successful servants of Allah,

what quality is it that they share? The quality of gratitude? Woman Yes, good. And whoever is grateful, Allah says for a NAMA, then indeed only yes guru he is grateful. Lee enough see for him self. When a person is grateful, then who is it that they're benefiting ultimately, themselves? thanking Allah is ultimately benefiting oneself? because who are we Allah servants when we thank him? We are showing servitude. When we're showing servitude. We are fulfilling the purpose of our lives, which means we will be successful.

So whoever is grateful he is grateful for the benefit of himself.

You know, it is said that I

chakra tidal lil module that chakra gratitude is a way of imprisoning what you have. It's a fade what's a hide?

Fade? Prison. Okay, so it's a way of basically keeping what you have. You want to keep your blessings be grateful. And it is well Slayton lilmar food that what you don't have gratitude is gonna go hunted, it's gonna go bring it

what's missing in your life if you're grateful gratitude is going to bring it in your life.

And it is where Mooji booth aka Ruben el mar booth. It is definitely something that's going to draw you closer to Allah subhanaw taala with a web UI that it'll hold and it's something that will bring you reward in the home of eternity. So really well my yesh gopher in the mayor's guru, lean up see, he is benefiting himself. In earlier we learned that hikma. Whoever is given hikma then he is given a lot of good. ACHEMA is the key to height. Right. And the crux of hikma the core of Hikmah is sugar and what is sugar, goodness upon goodness and truth firstly, that I have 46 Allah says Manami lasagna and funny enough See, whoever does good, he does it for himself.

This is why, whoosh courtly love be grateful, no matter what the situation is. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said, amazing is the affair of the believer. Right? That if something good happens, he's grateful and that's good for him. If something bad happens, he is patient and that is good for him. You see, patience is also a form of gratitude. Somebody and sugar always go together you cannot express sugar if you're not having supper and you cannot do something unless you are also grateful. They both go hand in hand Sabra and sugar which is why you will find many in a for example books on patience and gratitude. Because they go hand in hand. So well may your score for

Intermediate School, Lena FC woman Cafaro and whoever is ungrateful for in Hola, hola, NIA Yun Hamid, then indeed Allah is Rich, independent, Hamid praiseworthy

Cafaro what is Kafala to disbelieve, but remember the literal meaning of the word Kafala. cover to cover, okay, to cover to hide. So this is why kufr is not just understood as disbelief, but it's also understood as ingratitude because in gratitude means you're not acknowledging the blessing. You're pretending like they don't exist. You're pretending like they're not there, you're covering them. The blessings are there ever present in your life? But if you're pretending like they're not there, you're covering them, hiding them, ignoring them. So whoever does this, then Allah is LUNNEY he's free of need, meaning he doesn't need your gratitude, and he is Hamid praiseworthy even if you

don't thank Him, who is Hamid Hamid is one who deserves hummed,

who is worthy of hand, even if no one is expressing Humph.

Even if no one is praising, currently, presently still he's deserving of it. He is worthy of it

because of who he is. So Allah is deserving of gratitude. Whether we showed that gratitude or not, we thank him well, we don't thank him. Allah still deserves that thanks. Why? Because His favours are too many went into dunya Rahmatullahi letter so, if you start counting the blessings of Allah, you cannot enumerate them.

This is why the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he taught us this there are Allahumma or in the Allah decreto a shipwreck our personal rebirth ethic or Allah you will help me to remember you to thank you and to worship you beautifully. Because no one can thank Allah without Allah's gift, his Sofia, so my Yes, go for a NIOSH Coralina FC woman Cafaro for in Allah, Rani Yun Hamid.

So, what's the core of wisdom?

Chakra? What was the wisdom that was given to look man, be grateful? Why?

Why from the idea? What's the benefit of gratitude? Tell me the benefit of gratitude.

Yes, you benefit yourself when you're grateful because in Shackleton, let us see the knuckle and when you're benefiting yourself, you're being smart. Right? And if a person is ungrateful, who is he harming himself? Is that being smart or is that being foolish? It's being foolish.

You

Salam Alaikum I was searching how to memorize multiple key this. And then I was this non Muslim she's Professor she was saying, if you mentioned three things like, if you are grateful for three things every day, she said, then you will memorize things better, even affects your memory, your ability to learn. Really, it's amazing the effects of gratitude on your brain, on your life on your thinking. There are way too many to count. There's this TED talk that I found. Just listen to it please a few minutes from it goes from feeling sorry for ourselves to feeling joy.

Over the decades turns out it's me who's the slow learner. Because I've had to learn gratitude more than once. I think I've finally got it and want to share with you the full scoop on gratitude. new scientific research reveals that doing a daily gratitude exercise will make you happier, more self disciplined, more able to achieve your goals, even physically healthier. And perhaps best of all, gratitude frees us from emotional pain. If you want to let go of emotional pain, choose gratitude. Or if you simply want to feel more joy, choose gratitude.

Because when you feel more joy, you make the world more joyful. You need just three easy keys, emote, extend and exercise. emote, meaning it's not enough just to think about gratitude. You've got to feel the emotion. Exist, extend doesn't extend your gratitude beyond yourself to include other people. Be grateful for other people.

Exercise, do your daily gratitude exercise, emote, extend exercise, say it with me, and extend exercise.

When you practice gratitude correctly, you tap into neuroplasticity, brain plasticity, that's the discovery that we can restructure our physical brains by using our minds to create better brain cell connections. When you use the three keys you unlock your neuroplasticity. When you emote, you fire up the hippocampus, your brain center of learning and memory. When you extend your gratitude to include other people, you spark the most highly evolved areas of the human brain devoted to social intelligence.

And finally, in order for those wonderful new brain cell connections to go into long term memory, to spread out into the subconscious, where they become deep beliefs that drive you forward. That takes the regular repetition of daily exercise. In the extend exercise, say with me, emote, extend exercise.

Gratitude is especially powerful at healing childhood wounds. One of my clients, talented architect, grew up with a cruel, abusive father. And my client was carrying around a sense of victimhood, which was understandable, but it made him feel helpless,

less self confident, which was limiting his personal and professional success. Using the three keys, my clients began doing a daily gratitude exercise, within one month was attracting better customers making more money. Plus, now he's just a whole lot happier. He emailed me to say how glad he is just being thankful for the things I have, he wrote, instead of focusing on the things I don't have,

all of us experienced some negativity during childhood. That's just life.

The problem is children are vulnerable. Children cannot defend themselves against negative information. The part of the brain that allows us to make our own judgments and to block bad information is the prefrontal cortex right up here. It's the last part of the brain to develop. Its physical structure isn't fully formed until after age 20. So when we are kids

negative information slips easily deep into the brain unfiltered, and the more emotionally charged those negative messages are, the more they stick in the subconscious. They become what we call limiting beliefs, which will hold us back. Just as my client's sense of victimhood was holding him back.

Gratitude freed my client from old limiting beliefs, it can do the same for you.

Being a slow learner, it's taken me a long while. But today I'm grateful even for my own family history, as strange as it was.

So inshallah you can watch the rest of it at your own time. It's a 20 minute long talk. So what are the three keys have three tools? What are they have gratitude emote? Feel it? This has chicken were in the column? In your hearts, right? Secondly, extend? What does that mean?

express it, include others in your feeling of gratitude, meaning, don't just feel it in your heart, verbally express it also. Right, feel gratitude for others. You know, be grateful, for example, not just for what you've got, but also what your family has, and mention it through the lesson. Right, Sugar Mill, listen, what a mavenir material Bica for heard this. And what's the third? Exercise? What does that mean? Practice it. Right practice gratitude, whether it's in the form of writing something that you're grateful for, you know, doing something like, for example, helping somebody in need, because you're feeling grateful. This is what the duetta should have been. Joanne Jawara,

right.

What are the effects of gratitude that you learned from this clip? What are the effects? What are the benefits?

Okay, what else?

Okay, be more specific. Yes.

And what's the benefit of that?

Okay, so improves your memory, social intelligence. What else? Anything else? healing, healing wounds. Which wounds

which are, especially from childhood? Do you ever think about what happened when you were a kid?

And then you start crying over that?

I'm not joking. I'm not saying it in a bad way. It's true, it happens.

I mean, in the following verses, we're going to learn about showing gratitude to your parents, for example, right? And what happens is that whenever we're thinking about our parents, and being good to them, we think about what happened when we were little, how they spoke to us how they didn't get us what we wanted, how they were so strict with us, and these are all childhood wounds, right? But gratitude helps you get over all such things.

Well, may ish code for Intermediate School

Linhof. See, we're only going to benefit ourselves. It's a key to success.

This is what makes a person intelligent. This is key to wisdom. And wisdom is what makes a person successful for intermesh Kuru lien FC. Yes.

It basically overall improves your brain your thinking, or new brain cells, whatever, newer connections, it improves your mental health, your physical health, your emotional health, of course, your spiritual well being because if it didn't benefit you spiritually, why would Allah subhanaw taala in his book, tell us how many times to be grateful. And if you think about exercise and gratitude, are we made to exercise gratitude every day?

How Salah what is Salah about thanking Allah, sugar and handling Allahu Akbar Allah mean how many times we said in our salah, after Salah also 33 times say Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah. Right, because there is a benefit to it. Well, my Yeshe call for ignominious guru Lena FSI woman Cafaro for in Allaha Linnaean. Hamid if someone's ungrateful, they're only harming themselves.

Just recently, I joined yoga classes and 111 our go to yoga classes, or teacher yoga teacher, after letting us do all the actions of yoga when she asked us to lay down on our backs and just relax ourselves after yoga. She always says that be grateful and feel gratitude to for whatever you have in life, and for five minutes. She just let us be grateful for whatever we have in life. And this is the part

Doing yoga. He says that that will increase your physical health and your mental health and every single thing and that just amazes me that how can you relate to things because right at that moment, I started being grateful to Allah subhanaw taala I say, Oh Allah, thank you very much for this, thank you very much. But I sometimes think that what other peoples are being grateful whom they are being grateful to. She doesn't mention the name God, but she said, be grateful. Show the gratitude. So it just I just wonder whom they are showing their gratitude to Yes. And that's a very good point. Because, you know, for example, I could be very grateful for the fact that I have a certain phone

but then I'm being grateful to,

to the people who manufactured it.

And husband who gave it me, yes, these are all means right.

They're all means I will Merson, the true the real benefactor. Who is it? Allah the Exalted, right, so Schuco to him, and this doesn't mean that we're not grateful to people being grateful to Allah, that includes being grateful to people.

Okay.

Anyway, let's do some homework in sha Allah related to gratitude.

I hope you wrote down these three things emote, extend, and exercise, and also write down all bliss and and Jawara. Okay.

So five things

that you're grateful for starting from now, until the end of the day, Inshallah, sit down anytime tonight, and list five things that you're grateful for. And don't just write it don't just exercise. Okay? Five things that you're grateful for.
