Abu Hurayrah reported Allah’s Messenger as saying: “Look at those who are inferior to you and do not look at those who are superior to you, for that is more likely to keep you from despising Allah’s favor on you.”

So, brother and sister, there are many who have less than us, and who are going through more than us. Let us all sit and reflect and praise and give thanks to Allah for all of the blessing we have, all the good have been given to us. And let us also remember those who do not have much, in our duas, our prayers…….

Brother and sister, do not to be sad!
