Expressing our gratitude to our Creator won’t take much of our time. It’s a form of worship and there are countless benefits to being grateful and showing gratitude to Allah SWT. Listed below are just a few examples:
DEVELOP A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH ALLAH
Our relationship and connection with Allah SWT will always fluctuate, depending on how strong our Iman is and how often we worship Allah SWT. But being grateful and thanking Allah SWT strengthens that relationship.
PROSPER IN LIFE
By being grateful, we are showing Allah SWT that we are happy with whatever He’s given us, whether that be in abundance or not. Allah SWT will see that we are always grateful and will give us even more, rewarding us for all our efforts in staying grateful.
SEEKING THE PLEASURE OF ALLAH
We should always be seeking the pleasure of Allah, no matter what circumstances we are in. It’s a form of worship that is highly regarded. Being grateful and thankful automatically becomes a way of seeking pleasure from Allah and we are abundantly rewarded.
But how do we express our gratitude? You can express your gratitude in many different ways. We have listed a few common ways below:
- Start by saying ‘Alhamdulillah’ ‘Praise be to Allah’ as often as we can. The Prophet Muhammad SAWS said “Allah is pleased with His servant if when he eats something he thanks Allah for it, and when he drinks something he thanks Allah for it.” (Muslim) This hadith shows us that by being thankful for even the smallest of things, Allah SWT will be pleased with us.
- We can also be thankful and show our gratitude by being patient during difficult times. Every human goes through difficulty and tests and when we do, we must remember to be thankful for everything Allah SWT has given us. Whether we lose a job or get injured or are experiencing grief after the loss of a loved one, turning to Allah and giving thanks and staying patient is a form of worship that is highly regarded.
- Another way to show gratitude is by always remembering that there is someone out there who is experiencing something ten times worse than what we are. Instead of comparing ourselves with those that have more than us, we should always give thanks to Allah SWT for giving us what we already have. The Prophet Muhammad SAW said “Look at those who have less than you and never look at those who have more than you, this will ensure that you will not depreciate Allah’s favors.” (Muslim)
