In return, God has asked His creations to be grateful to benefit themselves,&#8221; Sheikh Junaid Bhaiyat said.<\/p>\n<p>The talk was aimed to remind people to always be grateful of the blessings that God has given us.<\/p>\n<p>Sheikh Junaid Bhaiyat stressed the importance of comparing lives with others.&#8221;If you wake up in the morning and you feel sad or depressed, always look at those beneath you.&#8221; He added, &#8220;By looking at the people lower than us, it would remind us psychologically that we are\u00c2\u00a0 always above them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Prior to that the Al-Aqsa Friends Society in collaboration with NRTC hosted a talk titled &#8216;The Tales of Al Aqsa&#8217; on 8 March .
