In this week's khutbah, at the Islamic Association of Greater Detroit, Nouman Ali Khan draws a parallel between video games and real life, highlighting the stark differences in outcomes despite similar efforts.
In video games, following a set of rules consistently leads to predictable rewards and progress. If players encounter difficulties, they can easily turn to YouTube for walkthroughs or cheat codes to advance. However, real life is far more complex; two individuals may put in the same effort but achieve vastly different results.
This unpredictability drives many people to look for special adhkaar to solve their problems in real life just like they look for cheat codes in video games. He notes that this search is part of a broader pursuit of happiness, where people believe that acquiring certain things will bring them joy. However, he observes that those who relentlessly chase happiness often end up being the most depressed.

He emphasizes that while the pursuit of happiness itself is not inherently wrong, we tend to look for the wrong goals to be happy. So what is the right goal? Watch the video to find out.
