Which of allahs favours

Therefore, blessings of Allah are numerous. Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. To this extent, Allah has showered His blessing on us.

Therefore, we must be thankful to Allah. If we are thankful, He will increase our blessings further. The greatest of the blessings from Allah are Quran and Sunnah. Are we adorning these blessings in our life? But they turned away, so We sent against them flood released from dam, and We converted their two gardens into gardens producing bitter bad fruit, and tamarisks, and some few lotetrees. Like this we repaid them because they were ungrateful disbelievers.

Thankful attitude will lead to an increase in blessings and ungratefulness will lead to punishment and suffering. How to thank Allah:.

Avoid shirk in all forms and follow Tawheed. Avoid biddah and follow the true teachings of our Prophet Muhammad pbuh. Avoid hypocrisy and adopt iqhlaas piety. Avoid following desires and adopt the way of life prescribed by Allah. In short, we should lead the way of life guided by Allah.

To follow this, we need to educate ourselves, understand Quran, join the company of good people, move along with a Jamaat , follow the rules of Allah and try to establish them in the society. Why did Allah bestow us with blessings? Prophet Sulaiman A. And whoever is grateful, truly, his gratitude is for the hood of his ownself, and whoever is ungrateful.

My Lord is Rich Free of all wants , Bountiful. The reward for thanking Allah is self-respect, growth in blessing and success and the result for being unthankful is dishonor, confusion and reduction in blessing.

The result lies in our own hands. Verily, I am a plain warner to you from Him. That is the Grace of Allah which He bestows on whom He pleases. And Allah is the Owner of Great Bounty.

Oftentimes we focus on quantity and not on quality. SubhanAllah Glory be to Allah , look at the parable that Allah swt has set for us. Even if some of us say that we do not understand Arabic, many of us have certain ayaat and surahs that we have memorized and recite them in our prayers.

We should try to read the tafseer exegesis and understand the meanings so that our hearts are moved when we recite. It should not even take very long if we make a commitment to read a few pages of tafseer every week of a surah that we know.

We should even get together with others to do so and gain the baraka blessing of reflecting on the words of God in congregation. Ibn Al-Qayyim said that we should be moving between the emotions of love, fear and hope. When we read of those who were before us and of their punishment, we should feel fear because we could be of them. When we recite the verses telling us about how Allah swt forgives, we should fill with hope in His mercy. Let us not forget the prayer is not a monologue- it is an intimate dialogue with Allah.

Wow, Sr. Jinan, these Salah Series entries just keep getting better and better! I really loved this one — when you talked about quality over quantity — I think that is a great point. As many students or others who do it on their own, are satisfied more with the amont they have memorized than the amount they understand. Or in another situation, parents who send their kids at a young age to another country maybe Pakistan for example, when it is not too far , to learn to read and write Arabic.

These days, as I try to add more surah to my memory, I also take the time to absorb the meaning at least in a general sense to start, so that when I recite them in Salah, the recitation weighs on me more than it would have otherwise. Thank you for sharing this. As always, this series always make us ponder the beauty of the prayer Allaah has instructed upon us. May Allaah repay you for sparing times to imbued others with this sense of realizing how deep can a simple things we did daily, be.
