Book Name:Rizq Main Tangi Kay Asbab

جو اپنے دل کے گُلدستے میں سُنّت کو سجاتے ہیں

وہ بے شک رَحمتیں دونوں جہاں کی حق سے پاتے ہیں

 

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

 

Dear Islamic brothers! The eminent scholar of Hadees, Sayyiduna Hudbah Bin Khalid رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه ate bits of food fallen on the dining mat, showing respect for them. By the blessings of this and by the bestowment of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه received a thousand dinars from the royal court, and hence he became rich. Therefore, we should also respect all the blessings of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and should never be ungrateful for any blessing.

Ingratitude may cause deprivation of sustenance

Dear Islamic brothers! It is mentioned on page 543 of volume 3 of Tafseer Siraat-ul-Jinaan: When the Muslims show ingratitude[1] to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, they become heedless of the remembrance of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and get busy in satisfying their desires of Nafs [i.e. inner-self]. Moreover, because of [committing] bad deeds abundantly, they prove themselves to be unworthy of the blessings of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, so Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ makes them lose the blessings He had bestowed upon them. (Siraat-ul-Jinaan, vol. 3, pp. 543)

Explaining the significance of gratitude and the destructiveness of ingratitude, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has said in Ayah 7 of Surah Ibraheem, part 13:

لَىٕنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لَاَزِیْدَنَّكُمْ وَ لَىٕنْ كَفَرْتُمْ اِنَّ عَذَابِیْ لَشَدِیْدٌ(۷)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: If you give thanks, I will give you more, and if you are ungrateful then (know that) My punishment is severe.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد


 

 



[1] Ingratitude means absence of thankfulness.
