			Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Guru killer man who as Salman Khan, what at some
guru, Eli, man what
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:29
			he said, Look at the one who is below you, and don't look at those who are above you. And then he
said, Why, but who are edge detto? Allah TESDA nematology. I like that finale.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:35
			That way you don't belittle the blessings of Allah subhana wa Tada upon you.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:47
			There are so many things that we could learn from this hadith. One of them is the importance of
making ourselves available to other people to talk about our problems.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:01:02
			If we're not talking to anybody else, about their issues, sometimes our sense of our own struggles
can become over inflated, we might think that we're the only people struggling with the things that
we have.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:17
			But when you start to talk to other people, you start to hear their struggles, you realize that
everybody's struggling with something, and actually the struggles that you have, they might be less
severe than the ones that others have.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:26
			Another thing we learned from this hadith is the importance of making time for spending quality time
with people who are less fortunate than you.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:54
			If you're only spending time with people who are at your income bracket or above, then you're going
to look at the things that you have the lifestyle, you have the comforts that you have, and you're
going to take it for granted. But if you actually make time to spend with people who are less
fortunate than you that don't have the same level of wealth or comfort that you have, you're going
to feel much more appreciative and thankful for what Allah subhana wa Tada has given you.
