What if the reason we feel hurt when people do not appreciate us is because we expected from people what only Allah can truly give?
In this powerful reminder on the name of Allah, *Al-Mannan* The One who gives abundantly and bestows His favors without needing anything in return we reflect on how Allah gives before we even ask, blesses us beyond what we deserve, and reminds us that every good thing ultimately comes from Him.
This talk also teaches us to examine why we do good for others. When we constantly expect recognition, gratitude, or repayment, disappointment can quickly follow. But when our giving is for Allah, we learn to keep doing good whether people acknowledge it or not, because our reward and appreciation come from Him.
Class 24 of this series is a reminder to recognize Allah as the true source of every blessing, to stop reminding people of what we have done for them, and to give with a heart that seeks Allah’s pleasure rather than people’s appreciation.
