Book Name:Nematon ka Shukar Ada Karnay ka Tariqa
They are so many that there is no way to count or understand exactly how much we have been blessed with.
If we try to understand the wisdom behind even the smallest bounty Allah Almighty has granted us, our intellect will fall short every single time. Then consider all the bounties present in the entire universe; even if the whole of creation came together to try and understand their wisdom and give due thanks for them, they would still not able to.
Allah Almighty Himself says that if you were to try and count His bounties, devoting your entire life to this process, you will remain incapable of doing so.[1]
We should all try our absolute best to thank Allah Almighty for every bounty, blessing and favour He has granted us and avoid doing any act of disobedience towards Him. By doing so, we hope for Him to increase His bounties upon us as Sayyiduna ‘Utarid Qurashi رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ narrates the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “Allah Almighty grants His servants the ability to be thankful and then does not deprive them from an increase in bounty, as He has said,
لَئِنۡ شَکَرۡتُمۡ لَاَزِیۡدَنَّکُمۡ
'If you are grateful, I will henceforth give you more.’”[2]
Sayyiduna ‘Ali bin Saalih رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه says, “This verse means that Allah Almighty will increase a person in their respective bounties if they show thankfulness to Him through obedience and acts of worship.”[3]
