Gratitude

Reflections….
Ingratitude reveals ignorance … what a line

How often do we get overwhelmed by our troubles or tests and forget that we have so much to be grateful for even when the tests are coming thick and fast and hard.

Surah Ibrahim Verse 7
“And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, ‘If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.’”
(Quran, Ibrahim 14:7)

By showing gratitude to Allah this is a gift to call us back to Him for our own survival. We know that Allah (SWT) is closer to us than our jugular veins and that He loves us seventy times more than a mother loves her own child, but by constantly being in a state of gratitude, Allah (SWT) keeps our hearts always connected to Him. Perhaps this is His way of ensuring we never feel alone no matter how tough life gets and to soften our heart’s pain
