Give thanks to Allah..

There are many blessings and boons that we take for granted.. but if we try to imagine life them, we suddenly understand their importance !

     Alhamdulilah that Allah has sent us the gift of Islam; a catalog that shows you how to live and why to live. It gives meaning to the important things like learning and contemplation and even to the trivial things like eating and sleeping.

     Alhamdulilah that we live on planet Earth that has suitable conditions for living; water, oxygen, heat, minerals, etc. Our planet turns around itself to give us the daily routine of day (for productivity) and night (for Sleep and tranquility so that we can have a fresh new start the next morning). Our planet turns around the Sun in an accurate orbit to give us the four seasons that allow different sorts and species of plant to grow. Our planet is at a specific distance from the Sun; if it moved 1 cm closer we'd burn, and if it moved 1 cm away we'd freeze! SubhanAllah and Alhamdulilah! And again, try imagining life without the Sun, no plants, no warmth, no life! Plus, would the night sky be beautiful without the Moon and Stars. To us, it might be only a matter of beauty, but let's not forget by these heavenly bodies we are able to calculate when our months start and end.

     Alhamdulilah that He (SWT) has given us the warm Family that cheers with us in our happy days and wipes our tears in our sad hours. Kiss your parents hands and hug your brothers and sisters and thank Allah for their for their presence. They are one of the very few forms of unconditional Love, besides our close Friends and relatives.

     Alhamdulilah that He (SWT) has given given us cover and shelter. We rarely thank Allah for the Clothes that keep us warm in the icy cold winter and for the ceiling that shelters us from the hot sun, the pouring rain and the painfully winter. Others do not have these blessings. No matter how simple or small, your house is, it's a House, a warm shelter.

    Alhamdulilah for the blessing of Food. Sometimes we use food extravagantly while others in regions like Somalia have been dying in massive numbers due to lack of food and water.

    Alhamdulilah for the blessing of Education that allows our mind to grow and for us to reach to the true understanding of life (Ad-Dunya) and the Afterlife (Al-Aakhera). Last, Alhamdulilah for the blessing of Technology that has made our life a lot easier.. and allowed me to deliver these few words to you! ^_^


Alhamdulilah.. Alhamdulilah.. Alhamdulilah

 but few of My servants are grateful!
