Advice of the Shaiekh…

 

Let me give you a piece of advice:

Never complain to anyone about your
luck, whether he be friend or foe, and do not accuse the Lord [Almighty and
Glorious is He] of treating you badly and making you suffer misfortune. You
should rather proclaim your Blessings and your Thankfulness’ and Gratitude.
Better even to tell a lie by expressing gratitude for a benefit you have not
received, than to state the plain fact of your situation truthfully but as a
complaint. Who is totally without the grace of Allaah?

Allaah Almighty has said:

And if you count the favor of Allaah,
you will 

never add it up. 

[16:18]
