Visit the sick people and especially those who are on their deathbed. That gives you so much certainly and so much shukr.It creates a sense of gratitude in your heart. If you go to hospital and you make a habit of meeting people, there maybe a young person there who is on his deathbed. And you speak to him and say "How do you see life now?" And he says to you "Five months ago it was all different for me. Five months ago, I was planning for the future. Five months ago I used to think about the cars, my properties, my house, my luxury, my dunya, my degree, my university.I used to worry about... my six pack, " Some people they would come to me and say"Pir saab, give me a taweez so I can get a six pack." What kind of life is this?! "I have been trying to much in the gym, I've tried everything but it is not happening for me. Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun.[Surely we belong to allah and to him shall we return] This is the state the ummah is in.This is our state now. People spend so much time in the gym. People stand in front of the mirror for so many hours. Why?...Why are you wasting your time? People are worried about their height Is that the purpose of our life. Is is to attain taqwa. It is to attain piety. If you go to the hospital and you see a person. And he tells you five months ago I was planning my life and my plans and motives were very different. Today how do you see dunya? He will say "When I took out of this window and I see this dunya, it has no meaning to me. Because I know I am about to leave this dunya. "You know when you talk to him, such a person who is about to leave dunya.....Then if you were to ask him. "What is it that you want in life? "Do you know what he would want? He would say"if only I could get one years in my life.one more year."Do you know when you meet a person like that and when you come out of the hospital and you look at yourself... "Ya Allah, I used to cry over money.I used to cry over my business. I used to cry over the way I looked my studies, my grades... "Ya Allah, I used to worry about so many things, atleast you have blessed me with this beautiful life. What I have -This guy is begging to leave that." That is something that will creats true gratitude in your hearts. That is why I say go to the graveyard. Go to the hospital and meet people who are on their deathbed
