“You Start To Dislike Your Creator”

You Start To Dislike Your Creator

These devices that we have — they don't leave us alone. Never are you alone before humanity? No, we're sitting in a waiting room 30 minutes. You're waiting for something.

You're by yourself. You're traveling from one place to another on your camel for 10, 15, 20 days. You're by yourself. Nobody's bothering you, no notifications. You have time to yourself today.

We don't have time to ourselves. So little do we reflect on what Allah gave us. In fact, the moment we open our phone and we go to Facebook, we go to Instagram, TikTok — what are we looking at? What Allah didn't give us, but He gave somebody else. Look at that car, that destination place. Oh, look at that. MashaAllah. Oh, look where they are — Morocco, Spain. You're constantly exposed to what you don't have.

So you increase in ingratitude to Allah, and you start to dislike your Creator.

The Love of Allah Comes from Appreciating His Handiwork

The love of Allah comes from appreciating the handiwork of Allah. This is what Allah is showing us in this verse in Surat Al-Baqarah:

And when you love someone, when you love — you start to follow. You don't even realize it.
