As we all aware, for this time of the year,
our nation in the United States is celebrating a holiday called the Thanksgiving holiday.
It's a national holiday.
And during that time,
we reflect on the concept
of giving thanks in Islam, and what does it mean?
Because the Muslim whenever anything happens, we have to completely go back into our religion, our Islam our deen and reflect and see how things
go inside and jive and work well with our religion and what does Islam tell us about this concept?
Allah subhanho wa Taala made the concept of Ashoka
part of Eman part of faith.
The scholars said Al Eman who miss fan this phone sabak one is fun shocker that you can split Eman into two acts.
Two manifestations that show one is a believer.
First half of that just one of them is a sober, to have patience to endure to accept what Allah subhanho wa Taala sends our way to have the act of sober and the second is a Shaka is to thank him Subhana wa to Allah and have a gratitude to Allah.
For the bounty is the gift that he sends.
And Allah subhana wa Tada in the Quran many times
equates the concept of shakur with iman. And being in great, not being thankful was cool for Allah Subhana Allah Allah says in Nadina, who Sabine Imam, Shakira or in Makkah fora. Allah subhanaw taala says that we have guided the person a human being one into the path and that person can choose either the path of gratefulness, bath path of sugar to Allah subhanaw taala or the path of Cofer
Why would Allah wash karula
While a little Jeroen wash Kuru Lee Valletta karoun
over sugar and kufr come as two sides of the same equation, the opposite sides of these equations ln shakar term z then a Comala in cathodic term in either be Lisha DT
so the concept of sugar is essential in our religion, and Allah subhanho wa Taala
made it
a goal of a Baghdad a goal
All of our life is to recognize
what ALLAH SubhanA has sent for us, has given us and to live a thankful life to live a life of gratitude to Allah subhana wa Tala
wala Hua Raja comin Bitonio Mahasi comme la talamona Sharia. Allah says in surah it's in 178 Allah.
God gave you that life. Raja comin Bitonio Mati come, you came out from the wombs of your mother's letter I'm gonna show you, you know nothing. And we all we see babies and the children when they're born, you have to teach them everything. You have to teach them how to speak. You have to teach them how to walk, you have to teach them every basic function.
And the education continues on and on. And then Allah says wa Jalla Kumars sama will absorb all Effetre and Allah is the One who gave you your hearing, your sight, your eyesight, and F either
your intellect, your understandings, your intelligence, your awareness
Lalla calm slash guru.
Why the goal is that you might attain and reach that level of thankfulness and being grateful to Allah subhanho wa taala.
And there is a small difference between the concept of Alhamdulillah and to have Schuco to Allah subhanho wa taala. Now unhemmed
And we start every Fatiha with Al Hamd
and Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
is something that the believers the Muslims, recite on their mouth and say in their day, so many times, at least in the Salah, 17 times. But the concept of Hemd
is a little bit vast. Allah Subhana Allah to Allah,
your Med li thaty
well you should call Allah Allah.
Allah Subhana Allah to Allah is worthy of hand of praise, because he is who he is Subhana wa Taala because of his attributes, because of his SIFAT because of His Majesty
and also because of everything he has given us, but the concept of sugar is specific. It is for things.
For things that we are given by Allah subhana wa Taala or for disasters and calamities that are prevented
by Allah subhanho wa taala.
So, the shocker, the concept of being thankful to Allah subhanaw taala
has levels
and has different
understanding
in Islam,
not just to utter the word
of Alhamdulillah shukran Allah
first,
first of the concept of Shakur and the reason why it is equated with Eman because the first level of shortcode is L Budimir. Is to submit a servants and slaves to Allah subhanahu Attallah who has given us our lives, who has given us our existence, who has given us everything and we belong to him, that that life that existence belongs to Allah subhanho wa Taala
that everything we do
is for Allah Subhana Allah to Allah
and that concept of Obaldia is the essential and the basic
of understanding how to be grateful to Allah subhanho wa Taala
and then is to
understand what are the bounties? What are the gifts and know that they are coming from ALLAH SubhanA
and this is something
that the Creator as our Allah told us that it is something that is impossible for us to do.
When in doubt, donate an atom
lie he lied to us haha. That if you really try to figure out and enumerate and counts all the gifts, all the bounties, all the things that Allah Subhana Allah has given us favored us with it, that there is no way that you can count it all. There is no way that any person
can reach that level of understanding how much Allah subhanaw taala has given us because there are things that we're not even aware of that we only remember it, when we lose it.
There are so many things that we don't thank Allah subhanaw taala every day for
how many of us get up in the morning, and thank Allah subhanho wa Taala because we don't struggle to breathe.
And how many people have to struggle for every breath and be on oxygen or breathing machines?
How many times
that we thank Allah subhanho wa Taala
for being able to see,
to hear, to swallow for just the water that we drink, the clean water.
The water that should we showered with brothers and sisters, is available to less than 5% of the world population.
Their level of water cleanness and filtration
and how many times we understand that gift of Allah subhana wa Taala the gift of safety and security
the Nirvana,
of being safe and secure in our homes. And we ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us understand those SNAM as they would last and continue not when they are taken away from us.
What I'm at home in June, well, I'm in human health, and let the Obama home endure what I meant human health
that prevented us from being in a famine in the case of hunger. And it came in a situation of a continuous insecurity and fear and how many people all over the world
that cannot secure their lives and the lives of their children.
People across the Muslim world, our brothers and sisters in Burma
and so many examples.
So that understanding of the nearmap needs contemplation needs to take a moment and just thank Allah subhanho wa Taala for everything, and thank him for the things that we know and thank him for the things that we do not know and thank him for the things that we can count and enumerate and thank him for the things that we cannot count and enumerate.
And then
we have to take that Nirma
those bounties that Allah subhanaw taala has given us and not to use it
in something that he dislikes, and something that Allah is not pleased with.
Everything that Allah has given us his environment
is a bounty it's given from Allah. So if ALLAH SubhanA has given us wealth,
means
money, tools, anything, we should not use that in disobedience of Allah subhanho wa Taala
that it should come from halal and be spent in halal and be spend also for the sake of Allah subhana wa taala.
For Allah subhana giving us health and physical strength, then we should use that
to thank Allah subhanho wa Taala for what He has given us.
In the same way, and the same type of gift.
So people who are giving gifts of wealth shouldn't say I'm gonna prepare Allah subhanaw taala by volunteering in something, yes, you should, but also should pay back of that wealth
in their family, how can see what Zeca the Prophet sallallahu wasallam said in a hadith there are rights in the money other than the care.
The wealthy people have more obligations than others.
If Allah has given
Your time, especially dear young brothers and sisters,
then use that time
not in a way that Allah Subhana Allah Allah dislikes.
Use your spare time
in something that Allah loves for you to do.
Don't kill time.
Don't waste time and especially don't spend time in disobedience of Allah subhanho wa taala.
Having some fun in Islam is not haram Halal fun.
To train and have physical strength is not haram playing sport for the sake of improving your health. And keeping up your health
is something that is commended.
But killing time and wasting time and not advancing your knowledge in Islam
is a total
disobedience and a total waste for the most important gift that Allah Subhana Allah has given us and that is time, the time the life
is the only thing that will once it's gone cannot get it back. We can replace wealth. People will get sick may get healthy again. But wasted time will not come back.
It's the most precious gift that Allah subhanaw taala has given us
so to do the acts of shakur
the example of that is when we see what Allah subhanho wa Taala said,
why Mailloux Allah, Buddha chakra,
what kalila many Buryatia cool MLU
Allah Tao Buddha chakra, Allah Subhana Allah to Allah gave gifts to Nabil Allah Dahoud and a Allah He Salam and his family and his son after him Sulaiman Alayhis Salam. So this family was blessed.
That Wood was
brought from a normal person.
He was not a king
of the Israelites of the children of Yaakov Ali Salaam.
And then he was brought and he was given
many bounties many gifts he was made a messenger and a prophet of Allah subhanho wa taala. And then he was given the kingdom he was given the ruling, he became the king and the prophet at the same time. And then his son saw a man Allah He Salam.
And we know that in the Quran, he prayed to Allah subhana to Allah to have
dominion and kingdom that no one else in the history of mankind would ever have again. Monkey oil can lie in Bolivia hadn't been bad.
So from that alone, Allah subhanaw taala granted the family of Deadwood those bounties What did he say? He didn't say thank me.
Praise Allah. He said there are Mailloux Manu, Allah that woulda shoulda Cara. Perform the acts of thankfulness, do the deeds.
Pay back in how you work in take those resources and take those gifts and work with it. For the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala we're Khalil Ahmed. Everybody has Shaku and few of my servants.
The minority are the ones who are grateful and thankful. We are Allah subhanho wa taala, makers of those who are colleagues
and those who are thankful in the eyes of Allah subhanho wa taala.
And one of the highest levels of being thankful to Allah
is to be thankful in times of hardship and calamity and adversity. To a shoe crew, Alan McCurry
is to be the heart has to be thankful not just the tongue.
The heart is truly thankful to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, when there is a problem when there is a calamity, when there is a disaster that happens.
Losing wealth losing losing health, losing loved ones, and then someone thanks Allah subhanaw taala wholeheartedly.
Now sometimes we utter the words of thanks,
but Subhanallah Well, Melbournian FC we sometimes we don't really sound like we're really thanking Allah
How are you doing brother Alhamdulillah Allah, Allah,
Allah mcru ncwa And it's not well you say Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah whatever happens is from Allah subhanho wa Taala we accepted in Allah Wa in nearly he Raggio and we thank him because the disaster the calamity could have been worse than what it was. Because Allah sends that calamity to elevate our ranks with him or to put to forgive some of the sins and shortcomings that we have done in our lives. So Alhamdulillah we thank Allah for that. Little bit of hardship.
Is is from Allah subhanho wa Taala we believe it is good for the believers.
And it's not
always a punishment could be a wake up call that is much needed to get closer to Allah subhanho wa taala.
And those Shakir rune
are one of the first that would be called to Jana, the other Matt said because they combine both. They combined both like we started this whole together they'll Eman two sides to have one sober and one is Shaka. And sober happens in time of calamity. shakur normally happens in time when there is gifts and bounties and prosperity. But when someone in time of calamity combines both have supper and sugar, the Allama said these are the ones that enter the agenda. First we ask Allah subhanaw taala to be of them to be of a sovereignty in a share Karina Zachary Anil Hamdeen Allah Aberdeen al carnitine raka Sajid in a column is not as known was tougher Hola Hola, Lima Lee welcome CFOs I'm

hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi Germain
our messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was the example the example of sugar and his sin then his Syrah whenever the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would have anything he would give it for the sake of Allah subhanho wa taala. And then, one time
I share of the Allahu anha
a sadaqa dove into Saudi. She saw that his feet were swollen and cracking because he was standing night after night after night after night. Most of the night in prayer to Allah subhanho wa taala. And she felt
she felt for her beloved husband and Prophet and Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and she said yeah rasool Allah, didn't Allah Subhana Allah to ALLAH forgive
everything for you. Aren't you forgiven? Matter condominium become a matter
that anything that whatever any shortcoming you might have, isn't it forgiven with Allah subhanho wa Taala aren't you promised that? So why are you doing this? He said a fella Hakuna Abdon Shakira, then shouldn't I be thankful then? Should I stand in thankfulness? Should I stand before Allah subhanho wa Taala and thank Him for what He has done. So this is Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
Our Prophet
would do all of these acts of Shaka.
And
it just tells us what we should be doing and what type of a Baghdad we should be doing, and to involve our hearts and every act of a badass NCM in Salah in hajj, in zecca, in sadaqa, as we do it, in thanking Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, for the bounties for the gifts for the things that we cannot enumerate, and cannot count. And I will leave you with this one Hadith that the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught his beloved more eyes. This is one of the most beloved Hadith to mA Salalah honey tomato, the Allahu and from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and as it is narrated, he said to my eyes Radi Allahu Allah and Muslim Jebin
