I have been here saying that with the coming of hardships of Allah (SWT) we should be patient and with the coming of blessing and His boutnies we should be thankful.
This I hear from Sh. Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi on a CD is only the condition of a dog. Apart from the najiz and cleanliness aspect of dogs the misal of dogs is a position of great valour and loyalty in Islam as with other cultures.
The position of a believer is greater than this …
To be thankful in times of hardship and to be altruistic and overtly charitable in times of bounties.
This is second to the ultimate condition which is to see the true worth of items to take what is needed and focus all happiness in Allah (SWT).
What an amazing concept it is to be thankful when in hardship
Agree that we should be thankful even in hard times. After all we dont realize that things can be much worse and also how bad things are for some people in this world while we cry over our little problems, no matter how big they seem.... There always someone in a worse condition.
