BismillahirRahmanirRahim. Allah loves to see His servants to be happy and grateful, not depressed, but masruran, ferhane, content with people. Why people are not happy? We are created as human beings, not as animals, but people are not happy with their Lord. Think about people in hospitals, who are only breathing and fed through pipes…People don't take a lesson from what is happening in Palestine. Think of Sayidinna Yusuf who was thrown into prison with injustice, who came out and became the king. Think of all the favours of Allah towards you and thank Him, give Shukr. The Jews were 40 years in the desert as a punishment for their ungratefulness, going in circles…Gratefulness increases Allah's favours. The problem about learning is that one forgets when the brain is working by batteries. But if the servant serves Allah for 40 days with sincerity, then Allah gives him wisdom on his tongue. Where is the knowledge of AbuBakr, who only transmitted 30-40 Hadith? He passed it on from heart to hear. In Islam there is no 'Doctor of Shariah'...There are only Ulema.
Fatiha.
