Sheikh Khaled El-Gendy, member of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, stressed that a person’s life becomes unbalanced when they measure their value or others’ by wealth, status, or worldly appearances, noting that God’s standard is the only fixed measure in life.

During a special episode of "Generational Dialogue" on the program "La’allehum Yafqehon" aired on DMC, El-Gendy explained that addressing moral or behavioral flaws starts by acknowledging God’s greatness in the heart. He highlighted that the arrogant become humble when remembering God’s power, the sinner repents when conscious of God’s oversight, and the oppressor recalls God’s words: "They hide from the people but they do not hide from Allah, while He is with them when they plan what is displeasing in words; and Allah encompasses what they do."

El-Gendy noted that psychological stress or financial constraints are not resolved through despair or deviation, but by recalling God’s presence, which grants peace and opens doors to relief. He cited the Prophet’s words: “Preserve God, He will preserve you; preserve God, and you will find Him before you,” explaining that keeping God at the forefront ensures life runs smoothly and righteously.

He added that those disconnected from God live in constant anxiety, while those who maintain their connection enjoy a balanced life regardless of circumstances, saying: “Whoever is with God, remains connected; whoever is with others, becomes disconnected.”

El-Gendy concluded that at life’s end, a person realizes the truth of the verse: “Oh, I wish I had not associated anyone with my Lord,” acknowledging that no helper or supporter exists except God.
