As-Salaamu Alaikum Qur’an Weekly,
I want to share with you the seventh ayah of Surah Ibrahim, this is the thirteenth Juz of the Qur’an. I’m just going to get straight into what Allah says Himself. When your Master declared that even if you are the least bit grateful. Allah is saying even if you show a little bit of gratitude, He’s not asking for a lot. He then says, I will increase you, increase you, increase you, and increase you, I swear to it. The strongest language possible is used. If you could show the least bit of gratitude.
The question is grateful to who? You would think grateful to Allah, but Allah didn’t mention Himself. So it could be grateful to Allah, grateful to your parents, grateful to your teachers, grateful for your health, grateful to friends. Grateful to anyone who’s done anything for you. Grateful to your employer for giving you a job. Appreciative.
If you could just become appreciative, if you could just be grateful. Grateful is not just an act of saying Alhamdulilah. Grateful is an attitude, it’s a lifestyle, it’s a way of thinking. You’re constantly grateful. But if you could show that attitude in even the least bit, what does Allah say? لَأزِيدَنَّكُمْ(laazeedannakum), I swear to it, I will increase you. There’s no doubt about it,
