Who be he, Baa Allah, Qumayala, Baa don't desire, don't wish for that which we have given others

0:36.6

when we have raised some above others. Allah's given someone something. Allah's created different

0:43.5

races. Allah's created different sizes, different shades of skin on one hand. Different levels of

0:50.2

intellect. Allah's created different roles for everyone to play. So Allah says, you know what?

0:55.2

Don't become depressed by wishing and wanting that which Allah didn't give you. SubhanAllah,

1:01.0

especially when it comes to something natural. If Allah didn't make you, for example, in a certain

2:12.2

SubhanAllah wa Ta'ala grant us a deep understanding. The reason I mentioned this is, many people lose

2:18.7

their comfort. Many people plunge themselves into crisis because of thoughts. Thoughts of,

2:24.6

I don't like the way my fingers are. I don't like the way my nose is. I don't like the way this is.

2:29.3

That is and I'm not too happy with this and too happy with that. Be excited about the way that
