More Gratitude, Less Complaining

More Gratitude, Less Complaining

In the Quran, Allah says, “And few of My servants are truly grateful” (Surah Saba 34:13). This ayah reminds us that true gratitude (shukr) is a rare and elevated quality—not simply expressed through words, but manifested through consistent obedience, humility, and recognition of Allah’s countless favors. The lesson here is profound: while many people receive blessings, only a few acknowledge them with sincerity and use those blessings in ways that please Allah. Gratitude is not just an emotion—it is a spiritual discipline that transforms the heart and draws a person closer to their Creator. Being among the grateful is both an honor and a responsibility, and striving for it requires reflection, patience, and conscious action in every aspect of life. 

May Allah make us of the grateful. Aameen
