Count your Blessings
Umar (RA) once passed by a person who together with being afflicted with the disease of lep-rosy was also blind, deaf and dumb. He (RA) asked those around him: “Can you perceive any bounty that this man may be enjoying?” They replied: “Being in this condition, what bounty could he enjoy?” Umar (RA) replied: “Is he not able to relieve himself with ease?” (Fazaail-e-A‟maal)
Lesson: Subhanallah! What great bounties we have been blessed with! Yet, when one is af-fected with any difficulty, all the innumerable favours and bounties are forgotten and the heart and mind are consumed in the one negative. Thus, whenever one is in a problem, sit and pon-der over the number of things that are in order. Make shukr for it. This will help greatly to bring a degree of mental relief despite the difficulty one may be in.
