SHOWING GRATITUDE AND THANKING ALLAH BismilLaah.
ALLAH Glorified and Exalted be HE has bestowed upon us abundant blessings, so HE deserves to be thanked for HIS many Favors. Blessings are commensurate with our gratitude. If you thank ALLAH for HIS Favors, ALLAH will increase and bless you. But if you are ungrateful and always complaining, favors will disappear and immediate punishments may follow in this life before the Hereafter.
Blessings are of various types. They include having good health, hearing, seeing, intellect, and organs. The greatest favor is guiding us through Islam, holding fast to, caring for, and comprehending it. ALLAH (Exalted be HE) states: “This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islâm as your way of life.” [Surah Al-Ma’idah, 5: 3].
Hope these evidences are enough to satisfy you. If you think they are not still enough, follow me keenly and get before you other equally thirst quenching evidences about the subject. In fact you can even educate others about it better than I’m doing. Be concerned about what concerns you yet seek knowledge, for ignorance is a prison wherein the inmates are those who are reluctant when it comes to seeking knowledge. When you learn, you lead others aright and save them from captivity. But you don’t just learn anything, you seek beneficial knowledge and wisdom from the right sources with the proper ethics. Look for the write up on ethics of seeking knowledge. And as usual, when you sleep over the bed of heedlessness in your youth, then be sure to tread on the path of regret during old age.
Let me hasten to reiterate that seeking knowledge frees you from the captivity and prison of ignorance and darkness. So my good friends, brothers and sisters in Islam, seek beneficial knowledge and wisdom with the correct ethics, aiming to benefit society with the knowledge and hoping for reward from the Almighty Allah.
May ALLAH keep guiding our eemaan till Jannat becomes our abode. Aameen.
