Are you grateful?

There is something in your life that you did not earn and do not own, yet it is given to you all the time. This thing is this moment, and the next moment and all of the moments of your existence. There are no good reasons to show that you own these moments of your existence. You did not create the world and the life that it contains — including your own. Also, there are no good reasons to show that you have earned these moments, or that you deserve another moment in your life. Such a blessing can never be acquired or repaid by someone who doesn’t even have the power to create a single fly, and is a being that is dependent and needy. Therefore, if someone has given you something that you haven’t earned and something that you don’t own, then that should instill an immense sense of gratitude in your heart. Who should you be grateful to? That’s simple. The One who created life and and gave it to you — God.

God reminds us,

 

Truly, Allah is full of Bounty to mankind, but most of them are ungrateful.

The Qur’an 10:60

And be grateful for the Graces of Allah, if it is He Whom you worship.

The Qur’an 16:114

Becoming more Thankful

 

As we open the Quran, the first chapter starts with ‘Alhamdulillah’ which is generally translated as “all praise is for God.” In reality, the word Alhamdulillah signifies gratitude in our everyday lives. Hence, when someone asks how we are, Muslim often respond with, “Alhamdulillah.” Similarly, Islam teaches us to be thankful throughout the day: health for waking up from sleep, after eating our meals, drinking water, etc. In this way, one’s entire life revolves around gratitude to God.

 

 List of Ten things I grateful for are discuss below:

 

1. Good Health

Even if your health isn’t great, it could be worse and you likely still have some working parts to be thankful for.

Often, it’s the quality of friendships, not the quantity.
