Remember the favors of God upon you and how they surround you from above and below indeed,from every direction. Health, safety, nourishment, clothing, air, and water these all point to the world being yours,yet you do not realize it. You posses all that life has to offer, yet remain ignorant.
You have at your disposal two eyes, a tongue, lips, two hands, and two legs. Can you picture yourself walking without feet? Should you take it lightly that you slumber soundly while misery hinders the sleep of many? Should you forget that you fill your self with both delicious dishes and cool water while the pleasure of good food and drink is imposibble for some, due to sickness and disease? Consider the faculties of hearing and seeing with which you have been endowed. Look at your healhty skin and be greatful that you have been saved from diseases that attack it. Reflect on your powers of reasoning and remember those that suffer from mental ailments.
Would you sell your ability to hear and see for the weight of mount Uhud in gold, or your ability to speak for huge castles? You have been given abundant favors, yet you feign ignorance. Notwithstanding warm bread, cool water, easy sleep, and good health, you remain despondent and depressed.You think about what you do not have and are ungrateful for what you have been given.
You are troubled by loss in wealth, yet you have the key to happiness and many blessings. Contemplate and be thankful. Reflect upon yourself, your family, your friends, and the entire world that is around you.
