One particular theme that keeps coming up in the Qur'an when Allah mentions al-Insan

and that is when good things happen, what's our reaction and when bad things happen, what's our reaction?

Okay, there are two kinds of reactions. We'll talk about that

but essentially our reaction to good and bad. Good things happen in your life, how do you react?

Bad things happen in your life, how do you react?

Keep in mind that our weaknesses have already been mentioned, the ones that that came with us,

Haluhu'a min'ajal fiqabat, that's already there. Keeping that in mind, how do most human beings

fail when they're tested with good or bad? Because both of those are tests.

When the human being harm touches the human being, when tough times hit you,

when difficulty hits you, when a challenge hits you, Allah says he calls on me lying on his side

or sitting up or standing like no matter what you're doing, Allah please just relieve, Allah

just end this problem, Allah please make my dad better or make my child better or give me health

again, Allah solved this legal problem, solved this financial problem, solved this health problem,

whatever problem it is, you're constantly asking Allah,

Ya Allah I want this, I need this, I need this, I need, I need relief, relief, relief, always.

And Allah says Falaamma Qashafna al-Hudur Rahuhu, and as soon as we alleviate that harm that was hitting him,

Maraka Al-Lumya Duhuna al-Adur Rin Masahu, he walks around like he was never hit with any difficulty

that was killing him, that was hitting him. He walks around, hey you were pretty, nah I'm fine,

I'm fine, I'm good. As if all those Duhas, all that humility to Allah,

disappeared and so did your relationship in connection with Allah,

not for Duha, nah I'm good now, I mean Duha is for bad times, not for good times,
