I see this a lot of social media. People saying things (doesn't matter how "true" it is.
Things like:
"Before I buy 14k lamb chops,I'll have to interview the lamb"
"You people are too rich for me on this app"
...
Etc.
Funny thing is,people like this still won't even if all "requirements" are satisfied.
When you say these words to yourself,you internalize it and it then manifests in your actions.
- Proverbs, Chapter 23, Verse 7
Verily, thinking well... is a part of excellent worship.
- Prophet Mohammed, Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3970, Grade: Sahih
