The episode highlights the need to recognize that perfection lies only with Allah, and we should not strive for worldly standards of perfection.
The spiritual journey of surrender

The speaker suggests that surrounding ourselves with positivity and adopting a mindset of gratitude towards Allah (lehul hund) can combat this negativity. The episode concludes by emphasizing that true control lies in surrendering to Allah's will rather than trying to control external circumstances, leading to a complete spiritual transformation.
