\nO you who believe! Eat of the good things We have provided for you, and give thanks to Allah, if it is Him that you serve. The Quran 2:172<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThere is something in our life that we did not earn and do not own, yet it is given to us all the time.
\nThis thing is this moment, and the next moment and all of the moments of our existence. There are no good reasons to show that we own these moments of our existence. We did not create the world and the life that it contains \u2014 including our own. Also, there are no good reasons to show that we have earned these moments, or that we deserve another moment in our life. Such a blessing can never be acquired or repaid by someone who doesn\u2019t even have the power to create a single fly, and is a being that is dependent and needy.<\/p>\n
\nTruly, Allah is full of Bounty to mankind, but most of them are ungrateful. The Qur\u2019an 10:60<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAnd be grateful for the Graces of Allah, if it is He Whom you worship. The Qur\u2019an 16:114<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAccording to Islam, one of our foremost duties is to be grateful to Allah for all of His blessings. We can describe three levels of thankfulness:<\/p>\n
\n2. To say thanks with the tongue.
\n3. To express gratitude by doing righteous deeds.<\/p>\n
