If someone was to give you a very expensive gifts, how would you feel?
You want to thanks the person and show them gratefulness.
But what about all the gifts that ALLAH has given us? All the gifts that He's given us worth a millions and millions dollars. How much a liver transplants would cost? How much your eyes, your liver, limbs cost? When're reflecting on these, ALLAH has given us million of dollars worth of gifts.
Do we show enough gratitude for amazing gifts that ALLAH has given us?
What to be grateful for?!
- Health
1. When was the last time that we say Alhamdulillah we have teeth?
Imagine what eating will be like if we have no teeth? And yet we don't show appreciation until you have to go the dentist when you have cavity. If you were to replace eight of your teeth, how much would that cost?
2. What about our heart?
What if we need a heart transplant? How much would that cost?
3. What about our intestine?
If you need to do an intestine transplant, how much would that cost?
4. What about our kidneys?
If you need to do a kidney transplant, how much would that cost?
And that's only if you're lucky if you could find a matching kidney.
5. What about your eyes?
6. What about your ears
Imagine not being able to hear the voice of your loved ones.
If you're suffering from your health, there's nothing to worry about. There are other things to be grateful for.
"And Allah has extracted you from the wombs of your mothers not knowing a thing, and He made for you hearing, vision, and heart (i.e. intellect) that perhaps you would be grateful" (QS An-Nahl : 78)
The prophet PBUH said: there are four gifts, if they are given to someone, they are given the good of the world and the hereafter.
1. A grateful heart.
The heart that is content regardless of your condition.
2. A mentioning tongue.
It means that you're always busy counting the blessings that ALLAH has given to you.
3. A body which preserves patiently at the time of tribulations.
You might have an illness that is very painful, but you are content regardless of your situations. You are content with the Qadar of ALLAH.
4. Having a wife who does not betray her husband neither in herself nor in his property.
To be continued . . .
