Al-Nahl, 16:18
"If you would count up the favours of Allah, never would you be able to number them, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
I think everyone has this desire of getting something special. So when you don't get it, you start being rather envious of other people. Although knowing it is wrong, as a normal human being, we would still feel it. Even Aisyah R.A did. But it all comes back to us, whether or not we know why we are fighting so hard to not even gain that so-called "special attention" and instead make jihad against our nafs.
It is a very small amount of sacrifice but nothing goes without Him noticing. And that is so true.

He has given so much, yet we have given so less. You and me, what have we really done for the ummah? Umar and Zaid cried asking themselves of their contribution to the ummah when they have conquered Jerusalem, Land of the Anbiya's. Where do we place ourselves in that circle friends?
And still, Allah tends to the yearning soul and gave a 'gift' that is far more precious than anything else which is mentioned in the ayaah, His Forgiveness and His Mercy. Really, what is there more to ask?
