Qanoat (qana'a) — bugungi kunda yo'qolib borayotgan fazilat. Nega?

Contentment (qana`a) is a lost virtue in our times. Why?

Zamonaviy kapitalistik dunyo bizni o'z taqdirimizning ustasi sifatida ko'rishga doimiy ravishda o'rgatmoqda. Bizga aytiladiki, muvaffaqiyat va boylikdan bizni faqat o'z mehnatimiz, ishtiyoqimiz va intilishimiz ajratib turadi. Bu tasavvurda Allohning qazo va qadari o'rin tutmaydi. Shu sababli odamlar hech qachon qanoatga erisha olmaydi, chunki ular o'zlariga tayanadilar, holbuki haqiqat shuki, biz hammamiz ojizmiz va qaror beruvchi Allohdir.

We are constantly being conditioned by the modern capitalistic world to see ourselves as masters of our own destiny. All that separates us from success and riches is our own effort and passion and drive, so we are told. The concepts of Allah’s decree and apportionment are nowhere in the picture. So people can never be content because they rely on themselves despite the reality that we are all impotent and it is Allah who decides.
