so , you think you are better than them…

This episode is about being mindful when we see others in positions we wouldn’t want to be in and being careful not to think at that moment that somehow WE are better than them.

In the Quran The Story of Prophet Adam, in different verses Allah tells us about when He SWT instructed that the angels prostrate to Prophet Adam AS but the shaytan ,Iblees not only disobeyed and refused to prostrate he also said that He was BETTER than Him( Prophet Adam AS).

The sin of Arrogance .

Many call it The First Sin.

Subhannallah. He said it there in the Quran Allah quotes his saying “I am better than him”

-

Allāh] said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?" [Satan] said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay [i.e., earth]."

Quran 7:12

Note to self *

Never think you are better than anyone. For there are many skeletons in your closet that Allah has hidden and not exposed. And Allah has favored you today with wealth and health but can easily take it away. So stay humble and be kind.

But being humble does not mean we shouldn’t change evil when we come across it for :

On the authority of Abu Sa`eed al-Khudree (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say, “Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart — and that is the weakest of faith.” [Muslim]
