This khutba examines the following wise statement of Ibn Qayyim: “Don’t ruin your happiness with worry; Don’t ruin your mind with pessimism; Don’t ruin your success with deception; Don’t ruin the optimism of others by thwarting it; Don’t ruin your day by looking back at yesterday. If you think about your situation, you will find that Allah has given you things without asking, so have trust in Allah that He doesn’t prevent anything you want except there is goodness for you.”
