HOW TO EXPRESS GRATITUDE TO ALLAH & COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
..........."Show (thy) gratitude to Allah."
Any who is (so) grateful does so to the profit of his own soul:
but if any is ungrateful, verily Allah is free of all wants, Worthy of all
praise. [Qur'an Luqman 31:12]
"..If ye are grateful, I will add more (favors) unto you;
But if ye show ingratitude, truly My punishment is terrible indeed."
[Qur'an Ibrahim 14:7]
Thank You Allah
Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings,
thank you, Allah, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.
Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as
possible, thank you, Allah, that I can see.
Many are blind.
Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising, thank you Lord, that I
have the strength to rise.
There are many who are bedridden.
Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost,
toast is burned and tempers are short, my children are so loud,
thank you, Allah, for my family .
There are many who are lonely.
Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in
magazines and the menu is at times balanced, thank you, Allah, for the
food we have.
There are many who are hungry.
Even though the routine of my job is often monotonous, thank you, Allah,
for the opportunity to work.
There are many who have no job.
Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my
circumstances were not so modest, thank you, Allah, for life. If we
can
pass this on to most people we know,
it just might help a bit to make this world a better place
to live in.
It is He Who has created for you (the faculties of) hearing, sight,
feeling
and understanding: little thanks it is ye give! [Qur'an Al Mu'minuun
23:78]
Ya Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 ears, the world is mine. With feet to take me where I'd go.
With eyes to see the sunset's glow. With ears to hear what I'd know.
Ya Allah, forgive me when I whine. I've been blessed indeed, the world is
mine.
Thank You, ALLAH
for making us muslims with the best of blessings bestowed upon any
human beings listening and obeying to the ONE and ONLY TRUE BEING.
Thank You, ALLAH
for sending Rasulullah a shining star known as Habbibullah a true hero
beyond comparable guiding and teaching with his very own humble
examples
For the many gentle reminders we tend to forget and wander.. the
very
reason of our existence not to commit treason but first to serve ALLAH and
Rasulullah in that sequence!
Thank You, ALLAH
for we pray for JANNAH in return and the glory of Islam we try to churn
for that matter, a better muslim in every turn devoted and steadfast in
ibadah:-
as the deceitful life we try to spurn
In Surah As-Saba' verse 13.. ALLAH SWT mentioned:-"....But fews
of my
slaves
are grateful"..
It is out of His Mercy that He has made for you Night and Day,- that
ye may rest therein, and that ye may seek of his Grace;- and
in order
that
ye may be grateful. [Qur'an Al Qashash 28:73]
