Q: How can I become a grateful servant of Allah Ta'ala? Even though I know that Allah Ta'ala has given me so many bounties, I still question why he has given others certain things and not me, and I often tend to wish bad for them. I know that this is wrong and I want to change, especially as it is creating a lot of unhappiness in my life. I know that I should look at those below me but I still seem to keep looking at others who have more things than me. I would like to become grateful to Allah Ta'ala for everything He has given me. How can I do this?
