When you Realize Allah is Al-Ghani

ما شاء الله, nice Qur'an recitation. You think that's not even mine. Allah gifted it to me.

ما شاء الله, nice car. You think it's not even my car. Allah just gave it to me.

I didn't deserve it. The credit goes to Allah for everything. So when you realize Allah is Al-Ghani, you never claim credit for anything.

You give the credit directly to Allah. That's why when your life — إن شاء الله — one day someone makes a movie about your life, when the credits come at the end of the movie, you know all the names: director, producer, actor, one, two, three, four — you only have one name. The credits all go back to Allah, not to you and me.

You work hard for something, you buy a house, you buy a property, you buy a nice car. You think this is my hard work. No Habibi, when you start thinking that way, it's very dangerous.

The earth might swallow you up just like it swallowed Qarun. When you look at everything you say, this was Allah's gift to me — and my working was His gift to me, and my breathing was His blessing on me. How can I claim? How can I claim this was for me?
