I just came across this video (attached above) and its a powerful reminder.
"And We have already sent [messengers] to nations before you, [O Muhammad]; then We seized them with poverty and hardship that perhaps they might humble themselves [to Us]."
"Then why, when Our punishment came to them, did they not humble themselves? But their hearts became hardened, and Satan made attractive to them that which they were doing."
These 3 things are important, do ponder.
"So when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We opened to them the doors of every [good] thing until, when they rejoiced in that which they were given, We seized them suddenly, and they were [then] in despair."
"So the people that committed wrong were eliminated. And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds."
(Qur'an Al-An'aam 6: 42- 45)
