Be content with what Allah has apportioned for you

1) Allah may give another person a noble lineage, abundant wealth and great intellect, yet deprive him of health. You will find him lying on his bed for twenty or thirty years. His wealth and lineage are useless.

2) There are those whom Allah gives you health, strength and intellect, yet deprives them wealth, so you see them in the markets carrying loads or as unprivileged and poor people who keep switching between humble jobs and hardly earn enough to stave their hunger.

3) This is how Allah gives people some things while depriving them of others. It is He who creates what He wills and chooses.

4) It is befitting for anyone afflicted with a calamity to recall Allah's favour to hm before counting the calamities Allah is testing him with, for if He has deprived you of wealth, He has given you wealth. If He has deprived you of both, then He has given you intellect. If He has deprived of you all, at least He has given you Islam. Congratulations to you for living Islam and dying upon it. Say Alhamdulillah!!

5) Look at the brighter aspects of life before looking the dark side and you will surely be happy!! :-)
