Are You Being Grateful

			Bismillah Alhamdulillah Salaam Alaikum Peace be with you. Thank you for tuning in to another episode
of the deen show. We have a exciting episode for you today as always, so don't go anywhere. Shaykh
Omar Salah is with us, we're going to be talking about gratefulness, thankfulness. And at the end,
you're going to ask yourself, Am I really being thankful? Am I being grateful? We'll let you decide
at the end of this show. We'll see you in a little bit. Don't go anywhere.
		

			This is the
		

			this is the
		

			Welcome to the dean show. And 100 allow appraisers that accredited heavens and earth this week on a
deep show. We have my brother and your brother Shaykh. Omar Suleiman. How are you? Great to be here
at hamdulillah good about yourself at 100 It seems like Muslims are always praising God. hamdulillah
all fine, through good and bad. Absolutely. But someone might say, Look, man, even through the bad
times, even when you got a flat tire and look, your wife is giving you problems. And you guys are
saying Alhamdulillah or your husband's giving you praise or your husband's giving you problems. You
know, you having a bad day and you know, let's say you lost all your money and you're still it's
		

			like you see the Muslims always like those same and humbling. And that's about being grateful, isn't
it? Absolutely. So that's what we want to talk about today being grateful and thankful. And this is
how we can God willing, beyond the way that's pleasing to the Creator, because Shakedown, he was
ungrateful. And we don't want to follow his way. Is this correct? Absolutely. Tell us a little bit
about yourself. You're also an instructor at our magram Institute. We don't want to go too long into
it. People are going to go to the dean shall read your bio, but urine. So I teach with a McGill
Institute with Mischka University and Islamic learning foundation. So you've been teaching a long
		

			time.
		

			Since 2008, I started under my mentor, Dr. solaia, Sally, Muscat University, what got you motivated
to do this?
		

			That's a long story, you know, but a lot of blaming, I think I had my wake up call in high school.
And afterwards, I, you know, I did not grow up a very religious youth at all, but I had my wake up
call in high school and I, you know, Hamdulillah, I was motivated to go overseas to the UAE and to
Jordan, other places, I was studying him that I had my the support of my family, and it was a
wonderful opportunity.
		

			So at what point in your life you mentioned high school now, right? And it's about being grateful At
what point did you realize that I need to there is a creator? what point did you realize that there
is a creator and I need to be thankful and grateful for all the blessings, my eyesight, my hearing,
you know, my tongue that I can speak with all these faculties that he's given us? When did you
conclude that you know what Islam is the way of life that is the truth based on proof, and I need to
follow it and be grateful? Well, actually, it's, it's, it's funny, because I grew up, you know, I
always knew that there was a God, and obviously having Muslim parents and hamdulillah devout Muslim
		

			parents. It was something that was consistently in the back of my mind, but I think, you know,
obviously, growing up, sometimes in a public school, I was also playing basketball, though I'm not
very good right now. I used to, you know, I was so into basketball, I was into many different
things. And I think that I was just distracted. And then once I started thinking about religion, and
I started, I realized that I needed to draw close to Allah.
		

			Me and my best friend who was not Muslim, Joshua, we decided to become either Muslim or Christian
together. So we were kind of an agnostic face slash, I don't know if you could say that I ever went
through a full atheism phase with through an agnostic phase, and have that a lot of blood. I mean,
we read the entire Bible, I still got that original Bible where I went through you went through the
whole Bible, the whole Bible attempted anon the whole court and
		

			and we chose a snap together. So Joshua now is useless and handed in law, and, and handed it out was
a wonderful change in my life. best decision I ever made and 100 So wait, you, you you were you were
Muslim, but you came to a point where not just because your parents are Muslim, that Now by default,
you're like, someone who's you have to make that conscious decision that you made? Absolutely. I
mean, I think faith is one of those things, obviously, that no one can, no one can instill in you,
you know, you you've got to have that that birth inside of you. You've got to have that in and we as
Muslims already believe you have that inclination to believe in one God. But you've got to nurture
		

			that inclination to believe in one God and whenever you start paying attention, that Allah subhanaw
taala guides you to the truth. is the truth, something nebulous. Is it something hazy where you know
what, it's it's confused.
		

			Mr. Koh Some people think like religion is something that you know, it doesn't have to make sense.
You just blindly accept it. Is this the same thing with Islam? Well see the beauty of Islam is that
it's an evidence based religion evidence based Absolutely. A last palletizers Pharrell mo and the
hula hula Allah know without a doubt that he is only one God. So our last panel data challenges our
intellect, in fact, he tells us to use our intellect to come to the conclusion of faith. And in
essence, for the most part, almost everything in Islam is explained with you know, in a way that
appeals to the intellect however, of course, there will be certain situations where you need to
		

			submit yourself and you need to, you know, just trust your faith but but as far as the foundations
of the deen you definitely last panel to Allah calls you out to use your intellect flr tampilan the
statement and put an appears many, many times don't you think? So? Absolutely. That's the beauty of
it that once you nurture your filter or your inclination towards God, it's it's as clear as night
and day hamdulillah. So what was it about Islam? What was it about this way of life, that we know
that it's the same way of life that was sent to all the messengers of God, have a direct connection
or direct dialogue with the one who created you know, intermediaries, you're not praying to dead
		

			people in the grave, to angels, to saints, to monkeys, to elephants, to the sun, the moon to a
messenger, you're praying to the one who created creation, and you're striving your best to obey Him
to be grateful, right? So what was it about it? What were some of the evidences I know, you can, you
know, talk on this for the whole show? But what are some things for the viewing audience, someone
who's like, why should I be thankful? You know what I mean? Why should I have to pray five times a
day? You know, what was it to give them this firm conviction that you found you got from, you know,
investigating Islam? What were some of the proofs and evidences? I think that, you know, first and
		

			foremost, again, the the issue of using the intellect, there was proof to it, there's proof to the
court and being a revelation of God, there's a proof to the messenger ship of Mohammed salam, and he
was alone. And at the same time, you know, I I think I firmly had a belief that there was a god.
Okay, but but I was kind of in that phase where, why would there be an organized religion? And then
I thought to myself, well, why would God create us without giving us a religion in a way to get to
him? It doesn't make sense, that's, that's just as illogical, as you know, as saying that, you know,
Subhanallah, you, you, you create something like a system, a very complicated system or complex
		

			system that's meant to serve you and then you give it no directions or instructions whatsoever. So I
said, there must be instruction. And then I found that that other faiths that claim monotheism,
unfortunately, are not you mentioned some examples, some reasons why but are not 100%, monotheistic.
There is some there are some flaws there. So I found that Islam was the only monotheistic faith and
the true sense of the word and I think that any professor of religion would agree.
		

			It centers around monotheism, not just monotheism, in our worship, but monotheism in the way we
carry ourselves monotheism in every aspect of our lives. And that is the essence of gratitude, that
you worship God the way that he wants you to worship Him. That is, that is gratitude. That's the
greatest expression of gratitude, the, you know, and subpanel lots, it was just an amazing thing.
Because when I looked in the Bible, I found that even a Saudi Salaam, Jesus peace be upon them, was
inconsistent, you know, gratitude and worship of his Lord falling on his face and prayer, as as
mentioned in Matthew, and when I saw that, and I said, you know, that then why should I need to go
		

			to anyone else to get to God? You know, it's just, it's, you know, compare having to ask someone
else, to what says, in an who are adorable in a calm, inhabited, worried that Allah is closer to you
than your jugular vein? He's right there. You can just call upon him and Allah Subhana Allah will
certainly answer your call. So that was that was really the most appealing aspect. He's a one God,
he's one god that is most merciful, Most Gracious, Most Compassionate. And he's also one that's
accessible, you can call upon him at any time. So you develop a direct relationship with God and if
your entire purpose is to center around God, then it's only fitting that your relationship is only
		

			with God and not with anyone else. The car has an instruction manual the computer has an instruction
manual mentioned instruction Matt, the cell phone has an instruction manual. And that makes sense
you were looking and you were like there's got to be an instruction manual for the human being you
found a cron is that instruction manual and have the lab report on and then the son of the Prophet
slice alum. The fact that you have an application so you have you know, the beauty of Islam is that
not only is our text our scripture, preserved so flawlessly, but the interpretation of the Scripture
is preserved so flawlessly which is the prophets of Allah audio cinemas example the Prophet Muhammad
		

			peace be upon him, as I show the Allahu Allah May Allah be pleased with her explain to, you know,
explained he was a walking or an which is so if I can't understand this word, I can just go to the
Prophet
		

			I saw his life and I can, I can see even the Sunnah has been preserved flawlessly and hamdulillah we
got to go to break we're gonna be back. So not to disparage against anybody or anybody's religion,
but we don't have original text, edit fee tamper, proof tamper proof like we have the Quran where
it's memorized by millions all over the globe, people have memorized this book, it's a living
miracle. Absolutely. Is that a fact not fiction. That is a fact. We don't have there. For instance,
the original Bible, we don't have the original, we believe in the Torah in the NGO and these books
that were given to Moses to Jesus, but do we have those in their original? Because you teach a
		

			comparative religion class? Right? You've investigated this, right? Absolutely not. In fact, we
would find that there are, at this point, there are over 4000 versions of the Bible.
		

			And on top of that, there are over 36,000 sects of Christianity. And largely once you open that door
for inauthenticity,
		

			and, you know, fables and traditions and adaptation to come into the faith and innovation, then
unfortunately, it becomes lost even though there might be sincerity, the intellect becomes lost. And
so the way to follow and Please, God becomes lost. Awesome. I think we're gonna take a break. I'm
excited. And I'm sure you're excited. We're going to be back with some more. No more anywhere. We'll
be back on a de show. I am not afraid to say
		

			I am not afraid.
		

			I'm not afraid to say
		

			I am not afraid to stand.
		

			Not afraid.
		

			I'm not afraid.
		

			I'm not afraid.
		

			Welcome back to the dean show. On the dean show. We are talking about serious topics. And this is
serious because death is a reality. People are sleeping, hollywood, bollywood music, entertainment,
R rated movies, everything is is distracting to people, people are laughing fun and games. But when
the Angel of Death comes to take your soul, if you've been sleeping, it's going to be an
uncomfortable feeling. Is that right? Or is it not? So we want to do as much good as we can. And the
best good is obeying the creator and doing all the good that he's told us to do. Talk about for a
minute, the seriousness of taking depth seriously, it's not obviously we're not calling someone to
		

			be pessimistic, and just you know, they can't live a fruitful life, but a balanced life. So I try to
like sometimes get that feeling. You know, because that feeling makes everything else all your
problems go away. When you make gender when you make the hereafter big this dunya becomes small. So
talk to us that moment when death comes and Angel of Death is snatching your soul out of your body.
Is that is that something pleasant? If you haven't prepared for it, you've been ignoring the call?
Well, here's the idea. I mean, what's more pessimistic than non existence and uncertainty. So when
we speak of death, we don't speak of death in a way to make people despair. In fact, despairing is
		

			is a sin and some you should not despair from your Creator. You know, it's actually the peak of
optimism, thinking about what comes next that there's something better that you know what, you don't
have to be all caught up trying to get your fair share in life and if someone wrongs you, and then
you can turn the other cheek, because you understand that there is an afterlife that you can you
know, you can come to that that peace of mind in that tranquility, understanding that there is
something more than this, because obviously, this world will not satisfy anybody. No One No One has
entered into this world, holistically with their spirits and with their mind, body and soul, except
		

			that they've been disappointed. So you know, hamdulillah we have something to look forward to and
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he actually said something very powerful. He said that
whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him. And whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates
to meet him. So I shall the law and the wife of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, she said,
but O Messenger of Allah, you know, we all hate death. And he said, That's not what I'm talking
about. He said, verily, the believer whenever he's given the news of the mercy of Allah, and his
bounties and his blessing, then he loves to meet him. And at the same time, whenever the the person
		

			who has angered his Lord is given the news of the anger of his Lord and his and his own wastefulness
and his own heedlessness, then he hates to meet God because He hates to be held accountable. So how
did he laugh for us we are we are consistently looking forward to meeting our Creator although we
are the most We are the most afraid of possibly falling into in gratitude and, and things of that
sort because we understand the bounties and the blessings that he has bestowed upon us, but at the
same time, we love to meet him. We longed to make
		

			Time, it's like when you go to the airport. And you've got, you know, you've got departures and
arrivals, I always noticed this, you know, you go, you go on one floor, and everybody's sad, and
everyone's crying. And then you go on the other floor, which is arrivals, and everyone's happy and
rejoice, we are, we're missing a lot. We can't wait to meet him. We love God, you know. And that's
why the scars that even when you go to your prayer, go to your prayer with a column that has more
staff with a heart that is longing for Allah, I miss you a lot, I can't wait to talk to you, I've
been missing you, I want to talk to you again. You know, so we can't wait to meet him and to see him
		

			in sha Allah, to have that, that blessing and that bounty. So we're looking forward to it.
		

			So that's amazing. We want to see our Creator and that is what gives us motivation, there's hope.
There's light at the end of the tunnel through all the hard times, through all the good times, you
know, we're not, we're not getting attached to this life, because we're going to have to say bye
bye. But those people now and that's part of being grateful, isn't it, and that's what we're going
to go on. From here. I want to give a live example I know somebody, people know certain people and
we can kind of critique again a person's life. And again, this is not to disparage against anybody
but for that person that we love. Because Islam says love all mankind. And if we don't share it, we
		

			don't care. So we are sharing, so inshallah the person can see that we really care and a lot cares
about you to most. So be grateful so you can be successful. We know many people are coming to Islam
is the fastest growing way of life in the world. Some people now they're coming to Islam, but now
they're having a very hard time establishing the prayer. The call for the men on Friday is, you
know, the Juma. So we know we need to be gentle, and we need to be understanding with many of those
who are coming to Islam, and they're having a hard time. But how can we motivate not only the new
Muslims, but many of them the law, they're jumping right into it. They're establishing the prayer
		

			that come into Juma. They're trying to leave all the things that are displeasing to the crater. You
know, around people have knowledge and it's producing good results, their characters getting better.
They're leaving off drugs, alcohol, lying, deceiving, cheating. Islam calls the good and it produces
good, but now others, they're struggling their feet, and they're not taking these things seriously.
Is that a sign of gratefulness and thankfulness? Well, the challenge of shape on the challenge of
the devil in the first place was that, Oh Allah, you will not find the majority of your servants to
be from those who are grateful for my soccer team. Now, it's the reason why shape on comes with that
		

			message. The devil tries to inspire in gratitude is because this obedience is born out of
ingratitude and obedience is born out of gratitude. You know, think about your your, your worldly
relationships, your relationship with your parents, why is it that we have kids at 18 years old,
telling their parents to shut up and go away and you don't know it's because they forgot the 18
years. And even before that, the nine months in the belly and even before that, the anticipation and
things of that sort in the preparation they forgot. They were ungrateful, and because of that in
gratitude, they were able to disobeyed. Now for us, there's a great scholar of Islam by the name
		

			Ibrahim, no Adam, may Allah be pleased with him, a man came to him and said, you know, give me
permission to sin. Sin is making me feel guilty. So why don't you just give me give me an excuse to
sin. He said, Okay, if you want to sin against a law, if you want to disobey your Creator, then this
obey your Creator, in a place where he can't see you. And he said, Well, wait a minute, Allah sees
me everywhere. So sorry, let's try something else. He says, Well, if you want to disobey Allah, at
least have the courtesy to disobey Him in a place that doesn't belong to him. He said, But It all
belongs to Allah. This is all his his uniform universe in his creation. In fact, the limbs that he's
		

			giving me, which I'm trying to disobey Him with, you know, that's that, that in and of itself, that
belongs to a lot all belongs to a lie says, Okay, well, at least if you're going to disobey Allah,
then don't eat from his food and his drink in his sustenance. And he said, but everything is
provided by Allah. Right? So those are some how to love you really think about that? You know, and
you really give that some extra thoughts. How can I bring myself to use the capacity or the
qualities that Allah has given me? You know, whether it's fame or popularity or wealth, or it's,
it's, you know, intellect, or it's public speaking? How can I use that against a law? My hands, my
		

			eyes, my, my feet? My How can I use that against a lot? And so we should be saying, Alhamdulillah we
should be thanking Allah for the blessing of being able to think a lot because not everyone can
think a lot. Right and one great scholar, Chicago's Hakan Khomeini, may Allah be pleased with him,
preserve him, great scholar in Egypt. He said, If Allah allows you to die, saying Alhamdulillah then
you have died in that because you still owe him and hamdulillah for allowing you to stay at home the
law before you died. You still owe him one. So how to live because you're able to thank him that in
and of itself was a great blessing, being able to speak and thinking so what
		

			I'm trying to say is that
		

			and you know, that's why gratitude is the total package, the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, he
said that whoever is not grateful to people will not be grateful to Allah grant, you know, just
recognizing the blessings and the bounties and the favors that people have done for you. And Allah
says in the Quran, or intero, do not let a lot that's what if you were to count the blessing in the
singular, the blessing not near him, the blessing of Allah, you would not be able to do so because
from one blessing, every blessing that God has given you, you can extract hundreds and 1000s of
blessings. Think about the blessing of the hand. It's not one blessing. What is all that you? What
		

			is it that you do with your hand, think about the blessing of your mother, the blessing of your
parents, the blessing of your spouse, the blessing of your children, the blessing of your eyes? You
know, I had I had one I knew a brother that lost his ability to blink his eyes. He had a minor
paralysis, he could not blink his eyes anymore. And he realized the power of law, just the blessing
of being able to blink keeps your eyes moist. Yes. And so his he was constantly in pain afterwards
because he had to keep on putting eyedrops and that's something do we actually thank Allah for?
Every time we blink? We don't even think about it. Are we actually able to thank Allah subhanaw
		

			taala for the 1000s of processes that are taking place in our body at this moment, right now we're
not able to so all we do is we submit ourselves in humility and say, Oh Allah, I can't thank you
enough. But here's my best shot. Now show me mercy. This is the best I'm trying. But at the end of
the day, I know I'm not going to be able to repay you. So please just show me mercy upon Allah say
Al Hamdulillah thank God thank God for everything that we have only got the one guy that Jesus
called the people to worship that Mohammed called the people to worship all the messengers called
people to not worship themselves, but they call people to worship the one God and we'll be right
		

			back with more here on the deen Show.
		

			I'm not afraid to stand alone.
		

			I'm not afraid.
		

			I'm not afraid.
		

			I am not afraid.
		

			I'm not afraid.
		

			I solonius otherwise solo, he
		

			would go to my room lock the door prostrate and cry. Thank God, you know me better than myself. So
me the right way. And I will not look, I will leave everything behind
		

			includes everything gives intelligence.
		

			Back here on the show, thank you for tuning in.
		

			I said, I know a person who came to Islam. And he used to believe that Jesus died for his sins. And
we got to reasoning with him saying that, look, nobody is going to give you a free ride. You're
accountable for yourself. Jesus never taught this. He never claimed he was God. He never said he's
dying for the sins of the world. This is something of a concoction that human beings have come up
with. There's only one God and you repent to him directly alone. We're given two evidences the
proofs, and through some dialogue to some, you know, showing the Muslim character and given him to
evidence he accepted Islam. And it seemed like at that point, he was down and out. He almost didn't
		

			have a dime to his name. And he needed a job. And we know this brother, who actually gave him a job
helped him on his feet. And this is the Muslim character to help to help because this is what brings
us reward from the Creator. So we know that this brother was coming along. He was also in a marriage
that didn't work out. He didn't have access to the sun. This was eating them up. Very intelligent
man. And he was striving to want to make his own business. So he didn't have it. He never died. He
was sleeping in his car, you know. So now he started implementing Islam. And he started to be
grateful. I'm telling you, this person, he successfully got his own business started making money. A
		

			law the creator and I knew you know how sometimes when you have a split in a relationship, and it's
a bad split, he couldn't get close to his son at all. It was driving him nuts. Last soften the
woman's heart. And he kept complaining about this that I want to see my son is even though he was
able to now To this day, he has a relationship with his son. He was going to the origin of mustard.
He was making the the Friday hood about praying, praying, you know, but now it seemed like he got
the position. Okay, he got his own business. He got all these things. It seems like now what we're
hearing
		

			Bottom. He's not even praying, he gets exasperated. He gets exasperated, irritated when he starts
hearing the call. And it seems like he drifted off. Now that he has these things when he was down
and out, sleeping in the car didn't have a dime to his name. He was around brothers. He had a
family. But now it seems like he's being less grateful and thankful. So we want to kind of talk
about in the brief few minutes that we have what is going on? And you can see he's not happy before
it seemed like, you know, he was just full of he was more gregarious, he was, you know, feeling
better. He said, Man, when he took his Shahada was the best day in his life. Now, when you come
		

			around him, sometimes he's like I said, gets irritated, mood swings, angry. Is this a cause of that
talk to us? Well, I'll just summarize it with one eye on on one verse in the Quran. Allah says in
the Quran, Allah if Allah insha, Allah as even when the incoterm in other vitosha de Allah says that
your if your Lord announced, proclaimed, if you are grateful, I will increase you. And if you are
ungrateful, then know that my punishment is severe. Now, the interesting subtlety in this ayah,
gratitude brings about increase increase doesn't necessarily bring about gratitude. You see,
whenever you're a grateful person, your situation could not be the best of situations, but you see
		

			more, you see, you always see the glass half full, not half empty. And so you're consistently in
praise, regardless of your situations. Whereas sometimes, as the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
said, Allah might give you a, you know, if the son of Adam is given a value of gold, then he'll want
another one. And then if he has to, he'll want three, you know, if you're, if you're after
increased, some people think once I have, then I'll become grateful. But gratitude brings about
increase and that's when the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him used to make the dua, what was
certainly feed Daddy, and grant me expansion in my home, he wasn't making dua to Allah to to
		

			transform his house into a mansion. His house was so small, so the Larissa learns about nine by for,
I mean, it's a very small house. So small, his house was so small that whenever he would pray, he
would have to tap the what the legs of his wife I said, to move her legs so that he could make some
juice. So was he asking a lot for a bigger house, he could have asked anybody to, you know, he was
the Prophet of Allah slice, and they would have given it to him. He was saying, allow me to feel
like my home is more spacious, meaning what grant me blessing and what I've been given. And so
that's what once you have Baraka and blessing in what you're given, then you feel the increase, then
		

			you feel the increase, otherwise, sometimes increase can be a punishment. Right. And that's law says
in the Quran, do not be amazed by their their wealth, the wealth that they've amassed, and the
children so on and so forth. You read the law, and your labor law wants to punish them with that,
you know, it's a punishment whenever you taste this world, and the things that you've that you've
toiled for, turn their backs on you, your children, for example, and you didn't instill in them
Islam, you stayed away from being grateful, and you did not teach them Islam properly. And you were
after, you know, making sure that they had a BMW and making sure they always had, they were always
		

			pampered and things of that sort. And then they grew up to tell you, you know, get out of my life, I
don't even know you, that's a punishment, your wealth. When you spent your your youth when you've
spent to your health when you've spent all of that, toiling after it's and then you realize at the
end of the day, okay, my bank account is Fuller, but I'm not any happier. That's a punishment. So
what I would say to that brother and to others in that situation, understand that Allah will call
you out on your unfulfilled promises, you know, and that's the thing we all make promises whenever
we're in states of vulnerability, and I'm sure he did, absolutely. And a lot will call you out on
		

			that. You know, it's, it's, it's a lot help you know, the Prophet slicin. I mentioned to us the
story of a leper, a blind man, and a bald man, you know, who who were all poor. And the last panel,
Tata sent the angel to all three of them. And the angel asked them what they wanted. And just to
paraphrase the Hadith, I'm really paraphrasing the Hadith. Each one of them wants it for their
sickness to be cured and wanted a valley of some sort of animal and Allah gave it to all of them.
Two of them became ungrateful. And whenever they saw a certain person in the same situation that
they were, so the leper saw a leper cell and so forth. Whenever they saw a person in the exact same
		

			situation as them. They acted like they've never been in that situation. They were arrogant they
were, and it was actually an angel that was posing as a man in the situation that they used to be in
to show them hey, look, this is what you used to be. Don't forget what used to be. Because in
essence, when we become ungrateful, it's because we forgot who we were. And that's why Allah
subhanaw taala says, Go to Insert maqbara may man be destroyed. How ungrateful is he? minegishi and
Hanukkah from what was he created a lot reminds you what you were created from you forgot where you
