Inferiority Complex

If only we valued and focused on what Allah has granted us. If we focused on what He has given us, as opposed to worrying about what we don’t have, these misplaced feelings of inferiority and missing out would all finish. If you want to live a peaceful, content and happy life, build the habit of focusing on the bounties Allah has granted you. Don’t think about what you don’t have; think about what you do have.

This will remove all grief from your life - ان شآء اللہ

The benefits of being thankful

In Surah Ibrāhīm, Allah announced:

وَ اِذۡ تَاَذَّنَ رَبُّکُمۡ لَئِنۡ شَکَرۡتُمۡ لَاَزِیۡدَنَّکُمۡ وَ لَئِنۡ کَفَرۡتُمۡ اِنَّ عَذَابِیۡ لَشَدِیۡدٌ (۷)

Translation from Kanz al-Īmān: “And remember when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will henceforth give you more; and if you are ungrateful, my punishment is henceforth severe.'”^{^[1]}

It is written in Tafsīr Ṣirāṭ al-Jinān regarding this verse:

From this, we learn thankfulness leads to bounties increasing. Being thankful itself, means to recognise and respect the One who grants said bounties. Making the carnal self (nafs) habitual in giving thanks is also part of this. A particularly sensitive point to bear in mind here, is how a person increases in thankfulness when he reads or considers the countless bounties, favours, blessings and grace Allah has granted him. This causes them to increase, and a person’s heart then becomes brimful with love for Allah.

Somebody who thinks and acts this way holds an extremely high status. The Ṣiddiqūn possess a rank even superior to this; their love for Allah overwhelms them to the extent their heart is no longer
