250. Surah Aal-e-Imran, Aayat No 145

وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفْسٍ أَن تَمُوتَ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ كِتَابًا مُّؤَجَّلًا وَمَن يُرِدْ ثَوَابَ الدُّنْيَا نُؤْتِهِ مِنْهَا وَمَن يُرِدْ ثَوَابَ الْآخِرَةِ نُؤْتِهِ مِنْهَا وَسَنَجْزِي الشَّاكِرِينَ

And a soul will not die but with the permission of Allah the term is fixed; and whoever desires the reward of this world, I shall give him of it, and whoever desires the reward of the hereafter I shall give him of it, and I will reward the grateful.

SubhanAllah!! A reward from The Lord Of The Worlds for just being GRATEFUL. AllahuAkbar!

Gratitude is the essence of Islam; which gives us the key to attract abundance, prosperity, peace and happiness in one’s life.

Shukr is the path of loving Allah Subhanahu wa taala, acknowledging and appreciating every single thing Allah Subhanahu wa taala has blessed you with and coming closer towards Him in gratitude.

As humans we often forget the blessings Allah Subhanahu wa taala has blessed us with, especially when we seem to be going through hard times.

Our minds tend to focus more on the things we don't have, rather than focusing on the things we are blessed with. We worry too much about the negatives and forget to embrace the positives.

But as a believer, we must always look positively on our blessings and we must strive to be grateful to our Rabb at all times, when times are tough and at times of ease.

Allah Subhanahu wa taala, promises us that if we are thankful to Him, He will give us more.

So if you want more of something in your life, you first need to be grateful for what you already have!

Shukr is the cure for sadness and materialism as well and is the motivation to do better tomorrow. It acts as a booster to prepare you for your better In Shaa Allah

So increase in your gratitude towards your Rabb and see how He rewards you abundantly in both Duniya & Aakhirah.

Indeed, Allah Subhanahu wa taala loves those who are grateful to Him for everything that they have and increases them in blessings.

Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Allah Subhanahu wa taala got us through this blessed month of Ramadan with so much ease and with abundant blessings. Ya Rabb, allow us to carry our learnings and blessings from this Ramadan to another In Shaa Allah with sincerity and humility..Aameeen

May Allah Subhanahu wa taala imbibe the quality of being grateful to Him in all circumstances and shower His choicest blessings upon us always in Duniya and in the Aakhirah with loads of Aafiyat and Barakat.

Aameeen Ya Rabbul Aalameen
