Shukur

(Being Thankful to Allah SWT)

Arif-billah Hazrat Dr. Abdul Hayy ‘arifi ra said:

“This action creates love of Allah SWT and strengthens the relationship with Allah SWT (ta’aluq ma’Allah). One feels the tastefulness of contentment in his state and life becomes filled with serenity (afiyat).

Moreover, one of the blessings of this action is that a thankful person seldom commits sins.

Also, it saves one from the deadly diseases of takabbur (arrogance/pride), hasad (envy), greed, avarice, extravagance, miserliness, etc.”
