I hope your breakfast was warm and tasted just right and you are
smiling contentedly, when family members wish each other a cheery good
morning ... and peace in your abode.

I hope that today, is filled with lovely surprises and friends call
you up just to say "Salaam" . . . and your loved ones tell you .....
"we are praying for you".

I hope you feel on top of the world with a spring in your step all the
time when you think of Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala's Gracious and
Merciful Blessings upon you ..........

I hope everything goes your way. In shaa'Allaah everything is well
with your world, a place for everything and everything in it's place
..........

I hope you enjoy all you do ... in complimenting Islam by the way you
feel when you read the Holy Qur'aan and benefit from Allaah Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala's teaching to your heart's content .....

I also hope, in shaa'Allah that ..........

If you have a bad day at work, be thankful to Allaah Subhaanahu wa
Ta'aala. Appreciate that you have a job. Some people don't.

When you pay your bills, be thankful you can pay them. If you see a
gray hair, be thankful. Think of the cancer patient in chemotherapy
who wish they had hair on their head ...........

When you find yourself waiting in line or the recipient of poor
service, be thankful. Think about the people who have no food to eat
and are hungry all the time ..........

When you realise how much work it is to take care of a house, be
thankful you have a home. Think about those who are homeless and wish
they had a home to take care of ..........

distance from your car, be thankful . Think of what it would be like
not to be able to walk!

If you get irritated by other people's anger, apathy, ignorance,
bitterness, or insecurities, be thankful. Things could be worse. You
could be one of them!

When you think everything in your world is terrible, and you want to
give up, think of the people who have been told they only have a
certain amount of time to live. They don't want to give up.

So, I hope you have a perfect day . . . and that every day is just as
wonderful in it's own way, and in shaa'Allaah you will be blessed with
all you prayed for yourself . . . and those dear and close to you.

with happiness, peace, harmony, contentment, prosperiety and good
health and for the Noor of the Holy Qur'aan fill your heart and soul.

dunya prevail. May Allaah Ta'aala accept your siyaam, qiyaam and
ibaadahs. This is my du'aa for all of you. Aameen.

Your Lord has decreed: “The more you thank Me, the more I give you. But if ye show ingratitude, truly My punishment is terrible indeed." (14:7)

absolutely true
yet we are so steeped in ignorance, dat Allah has to ask us:
"fa bi-ayyi aalaa-i rabbikumaa tukazzibaan!"
Allahummahdina ila siratal mustaqim

How can a servant (Abd) thank Allaah? {The word ‘slaves’ represents mankind, for all of mankind are expected to totally submit to the will of Allah}The servant can thank Allaah in many ways. These include:

1. Prostrating to Allah, when the servant receives a blessing from Allaah or when Allah saves him from a disaster. The Messenger of Allaah (salallahu alaihi wasallam) used to prostrate to Allah whenever he received a pleasant thing or was told good news. This prostration is conducted for the sole purpose of giving thanks to Allaah, the Granter of the grace and benefit that the servant received. [see Fiqh as-Sunnah by Sayyid Sabiq (English trans.) vol.2, p.45]

Abdur-Rahman ibn 'Auf relates that the Messenger of Allah (sallaahu alayhi wasallam) went out once and he followed him until he entered a grove of palm trees and prostrated. His prostration was so long that 'Abdur-Rahman feared that Allah had taken his soul. 'Abdur-Rahman came to look at him and he raised his head and said: "What is wrong, Abdur-Rahman'?" Abdur rahman mentioned what had happened, and he (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: "Gibra'el came to me and said: 'Shall I not give you glad tidings'? Allah says to you, Whoever prays upon you, I pray upon him. Whoever salutes you, I salute him.' Therefore, I prostrated to Allah in thanks." {This is related by Ahmad and by Al-Haakim who says: "It is sahih according to the criterion of al-Bukhari and Muslim}

2. Thanking Allah in words: The majority of the scholars agreed that if the servant does not thank Allaah for the grace he has, then that grace will go away and may never come back. Allah's Messenger (sallaahu alayhi wasallam) said: "It is a fine thing when a believer praises and thanks Allah if good comes to him, and praises Allah and shows endurance if smitten by affliction. The believer is rewarded for everything, even for the morsel he raises to his wife's mouth." {Bayhaqi transmitted it in Shu'ab al-Iman. Sunan at-Tirmidhi no.1733 See also Saheeh Muslim (7138)}

3. Talking about the benefits Allah has granted him. This is because concealing the benefits of Allah is ungrateful. Allaah says in the Quraan: "Do they believe in the false deities and deny the favor of Allaah." {Soorah an-Nahl (16):72}

Ibn Katheer commented that denying the favors of Allah means hiding his grants and/or relating them to others than Allah.

Narrated by Zaid bin Khalid Al Juhani : The Prophet led us in the Fajr prayer at Hudaibiya after a rainy night. On completion of the prayer, he faced the people and said, "Do you know what your Lord has said (revealed)?" The people replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He said, "Allah has said, 'In this morning some of my slaves remained as true believers and some became non-believers; whoever said that the rain was due to the Blessings and the Mercy of Allah had belief in Me and he disbelieves in the stars, and whoever said that it rained because of a particular star had no belief in Me but believes in that star." {Saheeh al-Bukhari (1:807)}

4. Helping people in need.It was mentioned in a Hadeeth of Prophet Muhammad (sallaahu alayhi wasallam) that: "As the grants from Allah to a servant increase, so will the people's needs of that blessed servant's services. If the servant ignores their needs, it will cause those grants to be removed" (lbn Hibban)

The Prophet (sallaahu alayhi wasallam) said, "If anyone strokes an orphan's head, doing so only for Allah's sake, he will have blessings for every hair over which his hand passes; and if anyone treats well an orphan girl or boy under his care, he and I shall be like these two in Paradise," putting two of his fingers together." {Sunan at-Tirmidhi no.4974}
