Comparism is almost a sin, especially when we're comparing what we have with others

in a way that is belittling of what we have.

In a world of social media, it's become so difficult

everyone showcases things they don't even have at times.

And then people who see it are looking at this perfect image of some perfection that didn't exist because it was either

photoshopped or it was just a video shoot for a purpose.

And yet we begin to think what I have is nothing. I don't have a spouse like this, I don't have

children like this, I don't have a home like this, I don't have holidays like this, I don't have

money like this, a lot of it is material. The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him helps us

dealing with this difficulty of comparison by telling us that look at those who have less than you in terms of worldly material items.

It will help you to appreciate what you have, live in contentment. The minute you're going to compare

with those who have more or those whom you and I presume have more because of the

deception of the gram, the deception of social media,

then we're going to struggle.

So when you look at those who have less than you, what happens?

You appreciate, I have a house.

Alhamdul, these people are living in a hut.

Alhamdulah, we have a road, a tard road, a narrow one. They have a gravel road, so

Allah.
