the prophets Iceland taught us what how do we recognize the blessing of our NEMA in the worldly
sense he taught us two things number one the prophet sallallaahu son taught us that sometimes
to healthily disconnect in a healthy way from your nama is a means of gaining an appreciation for it
I'm only talking about in the worldly sense now so please pay attention to that meaning what fasting
in the month of Ramadan by fasting from food drink in some of those blessings you gain a greater
appreciation for those blessings so a temporary disconnect there's the hadith of I'm sorry that
the narration of all modeled the alongside I'm home walking by jabot of Nob de la tour the Elan
when he had me just bags of meat that he purchased so he said to him what is that he said it's meat
he said did you buy meat and he said yeah no I'm not about to give a vegetarian whole table or you
know say that you can't eat meat eating meat is fine everything within its within its its
proper quantity and things of that sort but I'll model the allot of time who said well why did you
purchase meat he's not vicious to hate - he said well I just felt like it I desired and all Italy
alone who says is it that every time you desire something you buy it oh I couldn't much to hate
to say in a story - is it just you feel like it so you just buy it there wasn't anything about
the meat all mother was trying to instill a lesson of Tevye in him that don't just consume because
you can all the time blessings it's not just about your capability or you you have the ability to buy
whatever you want or do whatever you want don't be reckless because you can buy something instead you
know sometimes a little bit of deprivation is good anyone that has raised kids knows that the worst
thing that you can do to your child is spoil them so right rotten that they become entitled
because that's not something they can shake off as adults they just become narcissistic monsters
because everything was handed to them growing up and they expect the world now to play the role
of parent and just them whatever they want all the time and when they don't get what they want
right they throw tantrums as adults because they didn't get over the Tantrums as children when a
good parent held something back so that they could recognize that not everything in life comes that
way to you so their tantrums are delayed until adulthood because we all threw tantrums at some
point in life and it's better that you get those Tantrums out of the way as a child and recognize
the world doesn't just come to you that way so the profit slice I'm taught again sometimes a
temporary disconnect from something that you can have in the worldly sense is a means of gaining a
greater appreciation of that namma a means of great gaining a greater appreciation of that
blessing the second thing the prophet sallallaahu ardi wa sallam taught us to engage those that have
less than us of that blessing not just to give charity no to actually encounter those that have
less than us in terms of dunya giving charity in the 21st century well actually in particular
in 2018 it's very easy to do it over a phone or to just swipe or to just do something online and
you don't ever actually have to go and deliver and that's a blessing because it's open the ways it's
facilitated ways for us to give charity we should do that it's prana law you know IIIi always just
think about imagine on the day of judgment meeting someone that you've never met in person and you
just swipe something or well you don't swipe on a computer but you typed you put in your credit
card information and you you know you built a well somewhere you fed someone some orphan that you'll
never meet and that person comes and takes you by the hand and enters you into Genda and you've
never seen that person before that's a blessing so it has its own unique form of blessing but that
does not absolve you that does not absolve you from encountering and engaging those who are needy
