There is one ayah in the quran... InshaAllah someone will help me on this.
Something that goes like this...
"And if you were to count the blessings of Allah, you will never be able to count them." Qur'an (14: 34)
The gifts and pleasures that Allah swt give us can never be counted.
Thankfull should make us more humble, have more fear and never give up.
This is one of the character of a true believer imsad
The Perfect Believer
The believer is not one who performs the ordained religious duties superficially and avoids what is forbidden only, but he is one whose faith is absolute, with no objection whatsoever arising in his heart and no obsession dwelling in his soul. The more hardships he faces, the more his faith grows and the more his submission strengthens.
He could pray and not see a trace of an answer to his prayers, yet he does not change because he knows that he is owned by One who deals with him in whatever way He chooses. For if an objection was to arise in his heart, he then forsakes the role of the slave and takes on the role of a protester such as that of Iblees (the Devil).
A strong faith unveils itself in strong hardships.
A believer sees in Yahya, son of Zakariyya, a fine example. He was killed by a tyrant who confronted him, yet He (Glorified and Exalted), who made him a prophet, did not intervene nor defend him.
Similarly all the tyranny that befell the prophets and the believers was not held back from them. If one goes to think that Divinity cannot answer for them then one is an disbeliever. However if one believes that Divinity can answer for them but chooses not to, and that Allah (Glorified and Exalted) can make the believers go hungry while disbelievers are full and inflict the believers with sickness and grant the disbelievers health, then one is only left with submission to the Owner even when tormented or scorched.
Ya’qub cried for eighty years when Yusuf, the son of Ya’qub (peace be upon him) was gone, he never gave up; all he said when his other son was gone too is “May Allah bring all of them back to me”.
Musa (peace be upon him) prayed against Fir’awn, who killed children and crucified magicians and cut their hands, for 40 years before he was answered.
In such submission the intensity of one’s strong faith is manifested not in mere bowings in prayer.
So many of those who glorify Allah’s Will were afflicted with tribulations and this did not increase them except in submission and pleasure with their Lord, and therein lies an explanation of the meaning of His words: “Allah is pleased with them.” (5:119 and elsewhere)
Al-Hasan al-Basri said:
people are all the same in health and ease, but when hardship befalls them, true distinction is shown.
