Do Not Compare Yourself With Others! by Lukgaf(m): 9:29am On Aug 19, 2022
Brethren, do not compare yourself with others!

"
With the rise of social media, materialism and consumerism, the world is gripped by a desire to have everything instantly. Constantly desiring what others have can lead to feelings of low self-esteem and depression, especially when one cannot have what others have.

Allah Ta'ala says in the Noble Qur'an, “…And do not crave for what Allah has favoured some of you with over others.” (Surah An-Nisa – Verse 32)

Abu Hurairah (R) narrates that Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “Look at those who are less fortunate than you, not at those who are better off than you, as this will make you consider the bounties of Allah upon you to be insignificant.” (Muslim)

Ubaidullah bin Mushin Al Khitmi (R) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “One who wakes up in the morning and is safe in his dwelling, is in good health and has sufficient food for the day, it is as if the entire world has been given to him.” (Tirmizi)

Overindulgence in worldly pursuits is detrimental for our spirituality. It hardens the heart and detracts a person from good deeds. Living a life of extravagance and opulence leads to pride and arrogance. A Muslim should strive to be content with what Allah Ta'ala has decreed and exert oneself in accumulating good deeds instead of worldly possessions.

Let us be thankful for the bounties Allah Ta'ala has blessed us with and not compare ourselves to others. At times a person may be blessed with less of the world, but Allah Ta'ala grants that person much more contentment, peace and happiness than others."

Masha Allah, jazakallahu khair. This reminds me of the verse that says "do not be sad nor loose hope ", for what is meant for you will surely come to you .

This is a helpful tip in a world replete with craze for materials. Always appreciate what you have, no matter what. So far as you have a phone to type meaningful sentences here, there are millions out there that are not privileged to do same. You should also believe in destiny, while you strive effortless. Know that it's not solely your efforts that will make you meet your aspirations. Luck/destiny plays a role too. Dangote is not the most hardworking business man. However, circumstances conspired to make him the richest black man, apart from his efforts.

Take this life easy, and don't bother about things outside your control
