How to say thanks in Islam
Islam says we should be grateful to God for blessings.
Here are some ways to say thanks
- We need to realize and appreciate all our blessings by and within the heart.
- Using your tongue to say thanks.
- Doing righteous things to express gratitude.
- It’s our gratitude and appreciation.
- Through our speech, we fortify that thankfulness.
- Third, when we show God how grateful we are for our deeds.
- To whom we should be Thankful
People often talk about the importance of being thankful, but they usually do not mention to whom we should be giving thanks. Think it well nigh.
When you say: “Thank You,” you usually say it to someone. So, who deserves our thanks, our gratitude, and our praise?
Allah says in the Quran,
“It’s Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. Allah, Lord of the worlds, deserves all the praise.”
[Quran 1:1-2]
Different ways to say Thanks to Allah
Think about His blessings in your life
Begin by reflecting upon all that is worthwhile in your life. (remember and retell) all the good things in your mind or jot them down – including your relationships, abilities, (things people own), and (challenging things accomplished or completed).
Be content at heart.
Do not wish for what others have; instead, be happy with what you can buy/own/receive without overworking yourself or stepping all over upon someone else to get there.
Express thankfulness with words
Call upon Allah daily to express how thankful you are for His favors. Begin your daily prayer of thankfulness with the words, “O Allah, I am thankful to You for giving me all these blessings,” and then (remember and retell) them individually” – as many as you can.
Strictly follow the commands of Allah.
- By strictly following (the orders) Allah, you are admitting/recognizing/responding to His (being more decisive and better than everything else) over you and His many favors upon you.
- Thank people who do good for you
- Express thankfulness to anyone who does something for you – no matter how small.
- Do not dismiss any kind word or deed as silly/extremely easy, and make it a point to admit/recognize/respond to the person there for you.
- Rudeness (because of not appreciating something) to people is equal to rudeness (because of not appreciating something) towards Allah, as the Predictor of the future ï·º said, “He who does not thank people is not thankful to Allah.”
Share your blessings with others.
Everything you possess (in the end) belongs to Allah; you are only its custodian and receiver (of money, etc.) for a time. In this way, sharing your blessings with fellow humans makes sense.
Allah describes helping those in need as giving Allah a “good loan,” which He will repay many times (Quran 2:245).
Do not waste your blessings.
Wasting food, water, and other useful things/valuable supplies is a sign of not caring one way or the other about Allah’s blessings. The Predictor of the future ï·º used to strongly encourage people to “clean the dish” while eating and not to leave any particle of food behind.
Remain committed in times of ease
It is easy to imagine that nothing can go wrong in good times. But unfortunately, because of this, one may end up neglecting the memory of Allah and becoming soaked up (like a towel) in worldly life.
