The dua for giving thanks to others

As per the schedule of Dawat-e-Islami’s weekly Sunna-inspired gathering, we will now learn a dua. This week, we will learn what we can say when giving thanks to others.

The dua we can make for them is:

جَزَاکَ اللہُ خَیْرًا

May Allah reward you with goodness.^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                      صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Method of collective accountability (72 Pious Deeds)

The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, “Pondering ˹over the Hereafter˺ for a moment is better than 60 years of worship.”^[2]

Let’s make good intentions before filling in the Pious Deeds booklet:

1.       To please Allah, I will hold myself to account through the Pious Deeds booklet and encourage others to do the same.

I will praise (i.e. thank) Allah Almighty for the pious deeds which I practised.

2.       I will regret not acting upon the pious deeds I missed out on and will try to act on them in the future.

3.       Allah Almighty forbid, if I have not acted on any pious deed which prevents a person from sinning, I will repent to Allah and make a firm intention to not sin in the future.
