People can put you down, and they will but Allah will never abandon you, so long as you donโt.
Nouman Ali KhanIt is not true that if we had true faith we would not be sad. Prophets (as), and righteous people experienced a great deal of sadness. The Quran is full of stories in which the central theme is sadness. Sadness is a reality of life. The Quran is not there to eliminate sadness, but to navigate it. Sadness is one of the tests of life, just as happiness, and anger are tests.
Nouman Ali KhanWhen youโre not patient, you start complaining. And the fact that youโre complaining is a sign that youโre not grateful.
Nouman Ali KhanThe question is grateful to who? You would think grateful to Allah, but Allah didnโt mention Himself. So it could be grateful to Allah, grateful to your parents, grateful to your teachers, grateful for your health, grateful to friends. Grateful to anyone whoโs done anything for you. Grateful to your employer for giving you a job. Appreciative. Grateful is not just an act of saying Alhamdulilah. Grateful is an attitude, itโs a lifestyle, itโs a way of thinking. Youโre constantly grateful.
