So gratitude to Allah subhanho wa taala. For the gift of time, for the gift of days and nights for the gift of life, for the gift of opportunity is an obligation on the believers. And part of that gratitude isn't that we just express our chakra and gratitude verbally by saying Alhamdulillah etc. Rather, we should express gratitude.
By action by D, not just verbally, and gratitude is of different forms. A person can express their gratitude and show appreciation and say thanks simply verbally.
But the real gratitude is by deed.
If you give someone a gift,
they may say 1000 thank yous to you on the spot, which may momentarily please, but how would you feel if as soon as you turned around, you laid to learn through someone else or through other means that they actually

not to be ignored, not to be neglected, not to be discarded, not to be disposed of, and most not to be wasted, and most importantly, not to be abused.
to abuse the gift of Allah subhanho wa Taala Anna,
to abuse the Benefactor through his gifts.
That is the greatest instinct. So part of that gratitude is to appreciate and value time to use it in the manner that a lot of Spanish Allah subhanho wa Taala expects of us that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has taught us
