Mirza Yawar Baig – The reality of Thanksgiving in Islam

			He handed it to me.
		

			So that was my lecture feel and be able to Selena mohammadu nice, I'm gonna love it. So this livan
Cathedral Cathedral, I dig into the name of Allah subhanho data, our Creator, sustainer, protector,
maintainer, the creator of the entire universe and all those who live in it, and I send my tax or
praise do to him
		

			and I send please and blessings on his last and final sender Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam Peace and
blessings beyond him.
		

			I want to remind myself and knew that Islam is based on two fundamental principles,
		

			thankfulness, to Allah, thankfulness to our Creator, materials are still protected, and thankfulness
to all those wonderful people to whom we get to enjoy the blessings of Allah subhanho that
		

			the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that if a person wakes up in the morning, if
you and I wake up in the money, and we have enough food to eat for the day,
		

			for that one day, we have enough food to eat for the day, we have a roof over our heads. And we have
a body that functions
		

			that it is as if the whole world and everything it contains has been collected for that person. He
said, If a person wakes up in the morning, and he has enough food to eat for the day,
		

			he or she has a roof over their head, meaning they are in safety. And they have a body that
functions meaning they're healthy, then it is as if the whole world and everything it contains has
been collected for that individual
		

			hamdulillah all praise and thanks to Allah. That is how I woke up this morning. And I am most
grateful to Allah subhanaw taala for that. So that's my reminder to you and me. Think about that
every single day, when you wake up in the morning. First thing to do is to thank a lot so Hannah,
		

			for giving us that day, in safety, in plenty. And in good length.
		

			There was a very interesting experiment that was done in the University of
		

			California with chronic patients who were
		

			in chronic depression.
		

			They were asked the tasks that they were given was that every day when they wake up in the morning,
the first thing they must do is to write down 10 things to be grateful for me remember this is with
bear with with patients who are victims of or who suffer from chronic depression.
		

			Write down 10 things that you are grateful for. And basic simple things. For example, I mean, I can
see so I'm grateful for my eyesight, I can speak there's nothing wrong with my with my speech. I'm
grateful for the fact that I can speak I can hear
		

			I'm grateful for that whatever it was 10 things that you're grateful for. In one month, they saw
dramatic improvement in the condition of those people who are under who are victims of chronic
depression.
		

			Now that is the power of gratitude.
		

			So gratitude to the Creator, to God to endless manager who gave us all this
		

			second point, as I mentioned to his gratitude to those to whom we received these gifts, as soon as I
sell them.
		

			Our Prophet Mohammed Salah he said, Milan, yes, goodness, la musica de la. He said the one who has
not thanked the people has not thanked Allah.
		

			Therefore, we need to be great grateful for and we need to express our * to all those who are
around us, whether they're strangers, whether they are people we know our parents, our teachers, our
children, our siblings, our neighbors, our employers, employees, the bus conductor, the train
driver, the taxi driver, whoever, anyone we know, or anyone we don't know whether they are strangers
or their people we know. We must be grateful to them, and we must express our gratitude to them.
		

			Being grateful is one thing. expressing gratitude is another thing sometimes we are grateful in our
hearts, but we don't take the time to express that guide. It's very important that we should do
that. People are not mind reader's even if they are mind reader's. This it is still nice to tell
them that you are thankful just to say thank you very much. I really appreciate this.
		

			Really appreciate the opportunity. I really appreciate what you've done for me.
		

			I think there is it. I don't want to prolong this session, just these two things, gratitude to Allah
subhanaw taala for what he gave us, and gratitude to all those around us, to whom we received those
blessings.
		

			I'm most grateful for this opportunity to talk to you. And I thank Allah subhanaw taala for it. I
thank the organizers of this program to give me for giving me the opportunity to speak to you. Thank
you very much. Have a wonderful time. And I wish on you what the Hudis also was a subset, which is
good health, safety, and enough plenty to live in this world comfortably without being dependent on
anybody. Thank you very much.
