WHY ME? EP16

Author: Islam Channel April 27, 2024 Duration: 10:31

Why do seemingly undeserving people always get everything good in life?

Why does everything seem to come harder for you, even though you've worked so hard? And why do other people take credit for your hard work, while you are left in the dust?


Sometimes, what you see as someone else being unfairly favoured might actually be qadar at work in your favour. So beware of envy and defeat overtaking you, and make an effort to recognise the wisdoms in your life. Because when it comes to Allah's decree, it's not the most materially blessed or loudest mouth that gets far ahead, but the most grateful and perceptive heart.
