Imam of Prophet's Mosque warns against flaunting blessings
Sheikh Abdul Rahman Al-Baiejan, Imam and preacher of the Prophet's Mosque, emphasized the importance of God-consciousness (taqwa) in easing matters and erasing sins. He affirmed that Allah has decreed sustenance and lifespans before creating His creation, and that contentment with what Allah has apportioned leads to happiness and tranquility. He explained that true wealth lies in contentment, which is the satisfaction with what Allah has allotted and the avoidance of envy towards others' possessions, combined with lawful work and taking means. Additionally, he highlighted that reliance on Allah while striving does not contradict being content; indeed, Allah tests His servants with both good and bad. The wisdom behind the varying levels of provision, he said, contributes to the development of the earth and the exchange of benefits. He advised showing kindness to the weak and the needy, and warned against arrogance, showing off, and looking at blessings in a way that harms the hearts of those in need.
