Praise of God

Praise of God is the first feeling aroused in a believer’s heart at the mention of
God. For man’s own existence is an aspect of God’s infinite grace, which engenders
gratitude and reverence towards God. The manifestations of God’s munificence and
generosity to man and other creatures abound everywhere and can be seen at every
moment. To praise God at the beginning and at the end of every action is another
fundamental principle of the Islamic faith. The Qur’ān says: “He is God; there is no
deity but He. To Him belongs praise in the first and in the last…” (28: 70)
