TAZKIYAH
GRATITUDE
Repeatedly thank Allāh for the great bounty of īmān, for Allāh promises:
“If you express gratitude, I shall certainly give you more.” (14:7)
It should be kept in mind that gratitude should be expressed in three ways:
• By acknowledging and contemplating over this great bounty in one’s heart and mind that Allāh has granted this to me only through His Grace without my deserving it.
• By verbally expressing one’s gratitude.
• By fulfilling the Commands of Allāh in regards to this bounty. If we acknowledge the bounty of īmān with our heart and mind, express praise for Allāh verbally and carry out the demands of this ni‘mah (blessing), i.e. adopt taqwā, then Allāh will increase this ni‘mah of ours inshā’allāh.
