Gratitude for Admonition: Lessons from Surah Yasin

Dr. Haifaa Younis emphasizes the importance of humility and gratitude when receiving criticism. Dr. Younis argues that constructive criticism, even if delivered poorly, should be appreciated as a sign of care. She connects this to Quranic examples, highlighting the consequences of arrogance and the need for constant awareness of one's mortality. The speaker uses the examples of natural phenomena and even airline safety announcements to illustrate how people often ignore warnings until they're forced to pay attention. Ultimately, the message is to remain mindful of Allah and the Day of Judgment, adjusting one's approach based on the recipient's spiritual state.
