The use of gratitude in our daily lives

“Gratitude may be in the heart, in submission and humility; on the tongue, in praise and acknowledgement; and in the physical faculties, by means of obedience and submission.”

— Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah
[Madaarij al-Saalikeen (2/246)]

How do we expect Allah to help us when we are NOT truly sincere?

" How do u expect the Help of Allah to descend upon this Ummah when we cry and moan when its time to pray Taraweeh for an hour or two, but many of us queue and lineup for the new iphone for hours upon end and shop till we DROP!

How do u expect the Help of Allah to descend upon this Ummah when the Hijaab was sent as a form of protection but WE altered it for it to become a fashion statement!

How do u expect the Help of Allah to descend upon this Ummah when we cant even sit for 10mins to read Al-Quran but can sit n play COD (call of duty) until 3-4am!
We can sit in sheesha lounges mixin with the boys n girls n smokin some pipe blowin some hoops!

How do u expect the Help of Allah to descend upon this Ummah when we cant even give £5 to the masjid but can easily blow £100 on a pair of jeans! "

Allah will NOT help change a person UNLESS THEY CHANGE THEMSELVES!
#FACT!

Change b4 u start complaining about where is Allahs Mercy n Blessings !
Its ur own fault that Allah is not showering u with his Ultimate Mercy Nor His Blessings!

Ya Allah make us of those who do good and follow those of the righteous and make us of those who DONT follow shaitaan n his evil ways! Ameen Ya Rabb!

"We have to be grateful and learn to stay grateful."

In some places, you get a bread, throw it to the ground and then roll it on the mud and finally you leave the bread. Soon after that, children and adults alike will run and fight for that one bread!!

While we have been going to the kitchen or toilet, some people have to walk several miles daily just to get a pail full of water.

When we study the life of people who are less fortunate than us, we will understand how blessed our life has been actually. At times, we may have been taking the good things we have for granted. We have to be grateful and learn to stay grateful.

Let’s contribute more to charity and community service. Our life is this world is more than merely making money. Many rich people have trouble sleeping peacefully at night. Why is that so?

Personally, the duty of a rich person is to help at least one poor guy. If this is practised by many, we may be able to eliminate poverty.. maybe one day. (:

“Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both deny?”
- Surah Ar-Rahmaan (Chapter 55)

The meaning of true 'kindness'

“Kindness trumps greed: it asks for sharing. Kindness trumps fear: it calls forth gratefulness and love. Kindness trumps even stupidity, for with sharing and love, one learns.”

O glorious Muslims - are we grateful to Allah?

When you are in sujood think about how Allah has chosen you from the billions of people to worship Him, whilst others are sinning. Has the time not arrived for you to be a grateful servant? - Islam2011
