“Whatever is in the heavens and the earth sings the praises of God. He is All-mighty and All- Wise.” – Quran 59: 1

Say Thanks To Allah:

I wonder,

Do you see how magnificently blue the sky is?

Or, the clouds

Do you ever just look at them and exhale at their complexity?

Do you notice the continuous changing of the night and day?

Do you ever pause from your life and Thank God?

What makes you happy?

Do you sometimes smile for no reason?

During twilight when the wind bites at your skin, do you shiver a little?

Do you appreciate the small things in your life?

Do you have,

Gratitude.

Love

And

Respect,

For God.

Do you feel love when your mother hugs you?

Do you say nice things to your spouse when they say they love you?

Do you see how the flowers dance to the rhythm of the wind?

Do their colours mesmerize you?

Do you ever just stop and think about the bliss in your life?

Because,

It is God who makes you happy.

It is He who covers the naked trees with sufficient leaves.

And it is Him who knows when every leaf falls.  

There are signs for those who reflect.

So I ask you,

Does the warm sunlight warm your heart?

Do you sing the praises of God?

Do you ever think of the countless blessings in your life?

Your ability to read and to write: A chance to excel at school.

Sufficient food.

Running water.

Your family.

Your home, a place to come back to after a tiring day.

The good company of your friends.

Do you care about those who care for you?

Do you try your best not to hurt those who respect you?

A smile is an act of charity.

Do you remember and Thank God for the beautiful moments in your life?

The peace in your mind?

The contentment in your heart?

I ask you,

What are you thankful for?

Ponder and reflect on the blessings in your life.

Please don’t forget to thank God.
