THANKFULNESS AND THE MERIT OF THE THANKFUL

By Sheikh Saleh ibn Abdullah Ibn Humaid

His eminence Sheikh Saleh ibn Abdullah Ibn Humaid – may Allah protect him– delivered last Friday’s Khutbah titled “Thankfulness and the Merit of the Thankful” in which he talked about the merits of thankfulness and said that it belongs to the heart, and therefore every Muslim has to thank Allah for better and for worse. He mentioned the ways of thanking Allah and the manifestations thereof and cited some examples of thankful prophets and messengers, may Allah’s Salat and Blessing be upon them all.

Praise be to Allah! Praise be to Allah, the Protector, the One Worthy of all Praise, Owner of the Throne, the Glorious, Doer of whatsoever He wills. Exalted be His Name! I thank Him; He promised the thankful more of His bounties, and I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah with no associate –a testimony of faithfulness and Tawhid (oneness of Allah). read more

RESPECT TO ALLAH'S BOUNTIES UPON US

Allah The Exalted said with respect to the story of the two men: "Why do you not, when you enter into your garded say:

"Mã shã'a 'allãhu lã quwwata 'illã bil-lãhi". (Al-Kahf (#18) V. 39.)

'Allah's Will [be done]! There is no strength but in Allah!

It is reported about the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam that if he saw something he liked he would say:

"Al-hamdu lil-lãhi 'allathee bini`matihi tatimmus-sãlihãtu."

"All praise is to Allah, by the Grace of Whom all good things are fulfilled."

and if he saw something he disliked he would say:

"Al-hamdu lil-lãhi 'alã kulli hãlin".

"All praise is to Allah upon every circumstance."

On a slow day with few customers, a clerk at a telegram office looks down from her counter and sees a dog waiting in line. "Oh, aren't you cute?" she says. "What would you like me to put on your telegram?"

"Bow wow wow, Bow wow wow," the dog replies. The clerk says in a cutesy voice, "But you can add another 'Bow wow wow' for the same price."

The dog responds, "Now wouldn't that sound a little silly?"
