And Sometimes We Become Enemies Of Others. We Harm Others
So As Much As We Want To Be Protected From Harm, We Need
To Protect Others From Our Harm.
That'S A Very Very Balanced Statement.
If You Are A True Believer, It'S Not All About Yourself.
It'S About Us.
I Don'T Want To Be Harmed.
So I Definitely Will Not Harm And I'M Going To Go A Step
Further And Help Those Who I Think Maybe Be Harmed By Others.
I'Ll Try To Protect Others As Well.
So That Allah Will Protect Me. So Allah Speaks About A Certain
Quality. That'S Very Dangerous And We Need To Protect Ourselves
From It And We Need To Talk About It And We Need To Be Protected
From It As Well.
What Is This Quality? In Verse Number 54 Of Surat Annisa, Allah
Speaks About Jealousy And What It Does, Don'T Allow Yourself
To Be Jealous Of Others.
Thank Allah For Bestowing Upon Others His
Favor, The Most You Could Do Is To Ask Allah To Give You A
Similar Favor But Never Ask Allah To Extinguish A Favor
He'S Given Someone Else Just Because You Want It.
That'S Not Fair. That Will Bring About A Crisis That You Wouldn'T
Have Imagined, Subhanallah.
So Allah Is Telling You Don'T Be Jealous Of Others And The
Way He'S Worded It.
He Says Are They Jealous Of What Allah Has Bestowed
Some From His Virtue, Subhanallah? Are They Jealous Of What
Allah Has Bestowed Others From His Virtue? Allah Says, Do
You Know What? We Have Bestowed The Family Of Ibrahim With
Revelation, With Wisdom And We Have Given Them A Lot In Terms
Of Material Wealth Too, Subhanallah.
We'Ve Given Them Kingdom.
So Allah Made Them Rulers. Allah Made Them Prophets. Allah
Gave Them So Much, Subhanallah. Allah Says Don'T
Be Jealous Of That Never, Don'T Be Jealous
When Allah Has Given Someone Else Wealth. When Allah Has Given
Someone Else Good Health, Good Looks And Lovely Family, When
Allah Has Given Someone Else Power Or Authority, When Allah
Has Given Someone Else Piety.
Don'T Ever Be Jealous.
Do You Know Why?
Who Gave Them? Allah Gave Them. By You Being Jealous
You Automatically Become Unhappy With What Allah
Has Chosen For Someone.
So You'Re Unhappy With Allah.
That'S What It Is.
And If You'Re Unhappy With Allah, You Have Plunged Yourself
Into The Biggest Possible Crisis.
This Is Why Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Says To Us Through
The Lips Of Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam In A Hadith.
He Says To Us
Jealousy Will Eat Away Your Good Deeds.
Even If You Have Good Deeds In The Same Way That The Fire
Eats Away The Dry Log, Subhanallah. You Know How If They Were
Dry Logs
Subhanallah, The Fire Would Consume The Logs With A Crackle,
Gone, You Had Logs But They'Re Gone. Allah Says, Your Good
Deeds Are Like Dry Logs And Jealousy Is Like Fire And That
Fire Will Consume The Dry Logs With A Crackle And It Will
Go. So Don'T Be Jealous Because In That Case You Have Destroyed
Your Relationship With Allah By Being Jealous Of What Allah
Has Given Someone Else. Remember Always Allah Is The Giver,
Allah Gave.
Why Be Jealous?
Why Question Allah'S Giving? Allah Says I Will Give Those
Whom You Love And You Don'T Love. I Might Give Your Enemies
As Well.
It'S Possible. Didn'T We Hear Verses
Where Allah Says I Will Give The Disbelievers As Well.
So What? It'S Up To Me, Subhanallah. Allah Says I'Ll Give Them
For A Short Period Of Time And Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala
Says That'S Up To Me.
Don'T Question Me
What I Do.
I Know What I'M Doing. If You Want Ask For Yourself, But Don'T
Tell Me What To Do And What Not To Do About Others.
I Will Do What I Want To. That'S Allah.
So If You Understand Who Is Allah And The Relationship With
Allah, You Will Definitely Be Able To Achieve
Lot Of Comfort, Even If You Have Less Than Everyone Around
You. You May Be Even Happier Than Everyone Else. Work Hard
Towards Achieving What You Want.
Try Call Out To Allah, Say To Allah, Oh Allah You'Ve Blessed This Person
With So Much Grant Them More, Give Them Baraka And Bless Me
Too In A Similar Way.
That'S If You Want To Mention Another Person, But You Don'T
Even Need To Mention Another Person When You'Re Talking To
Allah, Just Say O Allah Grant Me And Develop A Good Relationship.
If It Is Good For You, Allah Will Give It To You. If It'S
Not Good For You,
No Matter How Much You'Ve Asked Allah, If He Loves You, He
Still Will Not Give It To You Out Of Love.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Make It Easy For Us.
