Allah via at-Tanzīl/Revelation constantly/consistently commands, advises, reminds, etc. Their Creation as per the Farīdhah/Necessity to possess/manifest ash-Shukr/Gratitude.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.67, V.23)
This is a Video about Zaid Garcia. They’re a Native of Houston, Texas via the United States. At 2-Years Old, they were the Victim/Casualty of 3rd-Degree Fire-Burns…realistically they nearly died. As per their own Words: they detailed that Doctors never expected them to survive, let alone even recover. However, as we all know: Allah is the Best-Of-Planners. Watching This-Video was both painful & humbling. Yet, equally it was just as beautiful. It reminded me that Allah has granted me so much, protected me from so much, but I still thank Them so little. That’s exclusively my own Blame/Fault & no one else’s though.
I literally watched This-Video & felt utterly disgusted with myself, pertaining to the Things which I’ve ever audaciously/arrogantly complained about. I actually found myself saying to myself: “How dare I ever complain about anything?!!! I’ve never been through what This-Person or People like them have gone through!!!”. I felt downright horrible, about myself, regarding the Petty/Insignificant-Things which I’ve found myself pissin&moanin about throughout my Entire-Life. Videos like this are such a Much-Needed Hāqqah/Reality-Check. Moreover, as Zaid Garcia spoke: not once did they display any Type/Kind of Gullah/Bitterness…that by default is astoundingly remarkable. There’s Certain-People (myself included) who either have or still do so: we have the Nerve to complain if/when we order something via Online & it gets delayed, or if/when our Travel-Plans get thwarted, or we get the Wrong-Food at a Restaurant, or we buy something from a Clothing-Store which doesn’t fir to our Whimsical-Likings, etc.
#TakeNotes: If none of us have ever been through Things like Zaid Garcia, then none of us have any Entitlement/Justification to complain about anything. This-Person, any/all those whom face Life-Challenges like this, are a Sign from Allah, to remind us to always be grateful. This is literally one of the Most-Beautiful Things, which I’ve ever watched in my Entire-Life. There’s literally nothing which I’ve ever personally experienced that remotely compares to what Zaid Garcia has went through. If placed on a Scale, my Life-Challenges vs. their Life-Challenges: I’m more than sure that theirs greatly outweigh mine on any Day.
People must, should, etc. watch Videos like these all the Time, or at the very least more often. Perhaps we’ll all complain a lot less, regarding chasing what we don’t have, what we think/feel we want, what actually doesn’t matter, etc. And, equally, perhaps we’ll be compelled to acquire more at-Tawādhi`/Humility & give Thanks to Allah for any/all which we actually have that actually matters.
