“So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.” (2:152)
Being thankful to Allah is an essential for every Muslim. It builds comfort and confidence in one’s life. The key to success is, according to experts, contentment with whatever you are blessed with.
“…Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the [final] destination.” (31:14)
After being grateful to Allah, Muslims are obliged to be grateful to their parents. They are one of the greatest blessings given to us by Allah. At the same time, they are a means of fulfillment of our daily needs.
“Whoever is not grateful to the people, he is not grateful to Allah.”
(Jami’ Tirmidhi: 1954)
From the above hadith it has been made clear to us that if we truly want to be grateful to Allah then we must be grateful to the people as well. We are grateful to Allah (swt) because of all the blessings he has bestowed us.
