An example is like when you have a mansion and the other person has an average house. You be arrogant and greedy and don't thank Allah for what you have because everything is from Allah. Then Allah will destroy your mansion and you will then ask for repentance and forgiveness and thank Allah.

One practical lesson is that you should never take all the credit for your work and say that this happened because of your hard work. You should always thank Allah and know that what you have is from him. An example is when someone scores a goal in soccer they shouldn't think that this happened because of them but they should Allah and be happy.

I learned to not be greedy and to stop and reflect on what you have before asking for more. Then say alhamdillah because Allah SWT can make things worse for you. Also to have a pure intention on why you want something. For example, if your friend has new shoes you shouldn't go and buy a pair too, just to show off to others.

What i learned from the story of the man with two gardens is that you should appreciate what you have and not misuse it.
you shouldn't take your blessings for granted, some people think that they have been doing bad and committing sins and they still have so much like wealth for example,
and then they think, i haven't been punished that means there is no god, so in the end they misused a blessing and took it for granted.

Something I learned is not to under/over-estimate your friends.
You might think they can't accomplish anything, but then they do, or they WILL accomplish something, and they don't.
It's all from the will of Allah.
An example is when the rich friend thought that his religious friend would never have a good garden because he kept "wasting" his money on donations. Turned out he was wrong!

Something I learned is that you should never brag about how good you are. For example, if you're good at something and you brag about it, it can lead to arrogance because then you'll think why should I care about what he's good at? I'm better than him. You should never think like that because each person has their abilities. You might not have an ability that someone else might have because no one's perfect. In the story of the two gardens, the rich man thought his friend would never have a good garden because he kept "wasting" his money on the poor. As a result of how stingy the rich man was, he lost his two gardens. This is the punishment he got for being so stingy and this is something we should never have because this is one of the six diseases of the heart and it can cause us to go to hell fire.

Precisely.
All because one person is good at one thing, doesn't mean that person is better than the other. Plus we're ALWAYS making mistakes, and most of the time we don't realize we are anyways. So we really have absolutely NO right to brag because there is no reason to. We should focus on our own mistakes, not others' mistakes, so we can improve on ourselves first.

Good point! This is very important to know! The more we give, the more Allah gives back to us!
I learned to always be patient and thankful during Allah's tests. Patience is always good.
Example: Sometimes your peers might presure you into doing something you know is bad. This is a test of patience and faith.
The storey of the two gardens is really knowledgeable in many ways and one thing that I personally learned was to NEVER doubt Allah no matter what happens. Also on that note don't say anything to or meaning to say anything that you will regret later on.

ASAK,
One very exigent lesson that can be deprived out of the story is that Allah swt gives us good lives filled with blessings so we can focus on worship. Sadly the man in the story who thought he was getting these blessings by himself, though he was independent of Allah. He then got a huge punishment. This teaches me that Allah swt has blessed me with so many things, so i don't need to worry about them, instead i should fill my time with worship. It really bothers me to see how people blessed with mansions and cars, and money, are so caught up in this, they think the don't need Allah, while some people in places that are third world don't even have access to clean drinking water are content with what they have and use their time for worship. Its really, really sad. These people who are literally giving everything they have for Allah, knowing they will be rewarded in the akhira, are so content and happy. On the other hand, People who take common things like shelter, water, food are so unhappy. Everyone has heard of people who are so rich and famous, but end up killing themselves. They do this because they realize at a point that this is it. They feel empty. This emptiness, is not having Allah. So basically, i will try to apply being happy with what i have to ny life.

i can relate to this because when Allah gives you something we should be grateful and also give some of our wealth to the poor! we shouldn't be greedy and say all the wealth came from us, instead we should say Alhamdulilah and be grateful for what we have.
Allah has given us so much and we don't deserve anything. you cant even count the amount of blessings Allah has given us and the least we can do is be grateful.

From the video, I learned that everything comes and goes. We shouldn't hold on to this world too tightly. If we get too caught up in it, we don't realize the purpose of life, we just get into the desire.
We should thank Allah (SWT) for everything we have, we have so much! We shouldn't have pride in our work or belongings because it is Allah who gave us all this.
Greediness is a major sin, therefore we shouldn't keep things to ourself. We should share things with everyone and shouldn't hesitate.
One example is, if we get a very good grade on our test and our friend didn't, we shouldn't have pride thinking that we did better than the other. Be thankful that you got a good grade and that it could've been worse.

This video showed me that we should always be thankful for everything we have. Even if it is a bad thing. We should always say Alhamdulillah even if it was a really bad thing because it couldve been worse. We should never be greedy or show off about anything we have. We should also donate a lot if we have lots of syuff for ourselves.
One example is if you were racing with your friend, and you one then dont judge them and say alhamdullilah and dont show off. They could be the one actually getting the good deeds and you dont know it. And at the end, you might be the one getting in trouble for something else.

A lesson i had learned from the man with the two gardens is to be caring towards others, and not greedy.
As you can see on the news or hear from others there are many people that aren't as lucky as others. For instance take the children from Africa and then someone that lives in the US, there is a difference. Majority of people that live in Africa are unfortunately poor, while most Americans are wealthy.The thing that makes them two different is that Americans are wasteful, on the other hand Africans use every bit of resource they have, even though they don't have very many. Although Americans are luckily wealthy they shouldn't be greedy. We should learn from others and buy, use, eat, etc. what we need, only what we need, not want!

This video and lesson gave me a reminder to put my Allah before my Dunya. In the end, it really doesn't matter whether you have two gardens, or one garden. Or if you are rich or poor, black or white (or in between), or even smart, or not so bright. Because in Allah's eyes, that doesn't matter. As long as you keep faith in Allah, and don't get too caught up in your materialistic needs, and remember Allah, he will always be with you to help you in this world, so can be prepared.

I learned that even though these materialistic things are pretty cool, and nice to have, if you forget about Allah, and the afterlife, these things aren't worth it. If that means getting more materialistic things in place of the akira, don't do it. It is okay to have these things, but don't get too caught up in your arrogance because of it. Never forget Allah's powers. You have to remember that Allah can take away anything from you in a blink of an eye. The man with two gardens didn't realize what he was doing. As he grew more self-centered, he lost knowledge and remembrance of Allah, causing him to loose all he had.

not to be greedy and stingy and care more for the poor and to treat people the way they want to be be treated
plus it says in the Quran that if you do something to someone or treat a certain group or type of people an example is the poor then on the day of judgement the will treat you the same way or do the same thing to you plus Allah(swt) gives an example of it on the day of Judgement the ram with no horns the was beat by the ram with horns in the dunya will be in reverse on the day of Judgement and the ram with horns in the dunya will not have horns on the day of Judgement and the ram without horns in the dunya will have horns on the day of judgemet and will beat the other ram

Some lessons I learned from the story of the man and his 2 gardens are: humbleness, thankfulness, and generosity. These 3 points are really important to Islam and the man with the 2 gardens did not follow any of these then his gardens got destroyed. Also we should try our very best not to get obsessed with this dunnyah because there is an afterlife and we will return to our lord.
