The Importance of being grateful
AslamuAlaikum(peace be upon you) everybody and welcome back to Dabous's articles today I'm going to be talking about the importance of being grateful because the messenger of Allah (peace and blessings upon him said ''verily Allah will put his servant to trial in what he gives him. Whoever is pleased with what Allah has apportioned for him, then Allah will bless him in it and expand it. whoever is not pleased, he will never be blessed in it.''
This quote means Allah will give something but he will always put you through a test alongside the blessing or whatever he has given you because he wants to see weather you will show gratitude and weather or not you will be grateful.
The main thing that i want you to understand and take from this quote is that you should be grateful for everything you have been given because when you are grateful what you have been given you will be blessed but when you are always complaining and moaning about what you don't have instead of accepting what you do have you will not be blessed. The second thing that i want you take take and understand from this quote is that when you buy something you should always think about weather you actually need it or not or if you are just buying it for the sake of buying it and if you are doing this it is not good because this means that you are not being grateful because you are not spending your money in a grateful way as you are not thinking about what you already have you are just think i want this, i want that but we need to think about the homeless people out there and the people who might not have as much money as us so we need to think about what we are buying and why we are buying it.
Reminder- Just because something is affordable to you does not mean it is in need to you- meaning don't spend if you don't need.
Thank You Saffiyah Dabous
