The speaker discusses the concept of Gratitude to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, which is not dependent on certain blessings and is not restricted to just receiving things or the presence of safety, health, and good things of the world. Gratitude to Allah is due to who Allah is and how we are in relation to him. Real gratitude is to be gratitude to Allah, to the provider who provides us with the most, and to be grateful to the person who gives us the most. It is important to note that Gratitude to Allah is not restricted to just things that we like or the presence of certain blessings, but it is also true that Gratitude to Allah is because of who we are in relation to him, and because we are grateful to the provider of the blessings.

Gratitude to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:00:02--> 00:00:03

is not

00:00:04--> 00:00:05

dependent

00:00:05--> 00:00:08

on the presence of certain blessings.

00:00:09--> 00:00:12

Gratitude to Allah is not restricted

00:00:12--> 00:00:14

to just times of happiness.

00:00:16--> 00:00:18

It is not restricted to just receiving

00:00:19--> 00:00:21

the things that you want, or the presence

00:00:21--> 00:00:23

of safety, the presence of health,

00:00:24--> 00:00:26

the the presence of, you know, good things

00:00:26--> 00:00:27

of this world.

00:00:28--> 00:00:29

Gratitude to Allah

00:00:30--> 00:00:33

is because of who Allah is,

00:00:34--> 00:00:36

and because of who we are in relation

00:00:36--> 00:00:37

to him.

00:00:38--> 00:00:41

We, as his slaves, are always, always on

00:00:41--> 00:00:43

the receiving end,

00:00:43--> 00:00:44

and Allah

00:00:45--> 00:00:47

blessings are such that they are

00:00:47--> 00:00:50

encompassing us from all from all directions,

00:00:51--> 00:00:52

which is why Allah

00:00:53--> 00:00:53

tells us that

00:00:56--> 00:00:59

You cannot count the blessings of Allah. Right?

00:00:59--> 00:00:59

And

00:01:00--> 00:01:01

that he has

00:01:05--> 00:01:06

Allah

00:01:06--> 00:01:10

has amply bestowed on you his blessings, both

00:01:10--> 00:01:10

visible

00:01:11--> 00:01:12

and invisible,

00:01:12--> 00:01:13

right, hidden.

00:01:15--> 00:01:17

So if our gratitude

00:01:17--> 00:01:18

was restricted

00:01:19--> 00:01:21

to just things that we like

00:01:21--> 00:01:24

or the presence of, you know, good things

00:01:24--> 00:01:25

in our life,

00:01:26--> 00:01:27

then that would not be

00:01:28--> 00:01:29

real gratitude.

00:01:30--> 00:01:31

Real gratitude

00:01:31--> 00:01:32

is to be grateful

00:01:33--> 00:01:34

to

00:01:34--> 00:01:34

Allah,

00:01:35--> 00:01:37

to be grateful to the provider

00:01:38--> 00:01:40

who provides us more than what we can

00:01:40--> 00:01:40

count,

00:01:41--> 00:01:43

more than what we even know.

00:01:44--> 00:01:45

And sometimes,

00:01:46--> 00:01:48

you know, the the reason why,

00:01:49--> 00:01:52

we feel ungrateful is because we only think

00:01:52--> 00:01:53

that, you

00:01:53--> 00:01:56

know, the reason why we feel ungrateful is

00:01:56--> 00:01:57

because we think

00:01:57--> 00:01:58

that

00:01:58--> 00:02:00

certain things are blessings.

00:02:01--> 00:02:01

Alright?

00:02:02--> 00:02:04

You know, there there are people who think

00:02:04--> 00:02:07

that blessings are what? They are,

00:02:07--> 00:02:08

food, sustenance,

00:02:09--> 00:02:10

clothing,

00:02:10--> 00:02:10

money.

00:02:11--> 00:02:11

Alright?

00:02:12--> 00:02:12

Health

00:02:13--> 00:02:14

and and things like that.

00:02:15--> 00:02:18

But then, there are people who realize

00:02:19--> 00:02:22

that blessings are not just material.

00:02:24--> 00:02:27

Blessings are not just of this world.

00:02:27--> 00:02:30

The blessings of Allah are not just the

00:02:30--> 00:02:32

things that we see, the things that we

00:02:32--> 00:02:33

enjoy.

00:02:34--> 00:02:36

The blessings of Allah are also

00:02:36--> 00:02:37

immaterial,

00:02:38--> 00:02:39

right? Which is why we say, Alhamdulillahi, Alhamdulillahi,

00:02:39--> 00:02:40

Alhamdulillahi, Alhamdulillahi, Alhamdulillahi, Alhamdulillahi, Alhamdulillahi, Alhamdulillahi, Alhamdulillahi, Alhamdulillahi,

00:02:40--> 00:02:43

Alhamdulillahi, Alhamdulillahi, Alhamdulillahi, Alhamdulillahi, Alhamdulillahi, Alhamdulillahi, Alhamdulillahi, for

00:02:43--> 00:02:45

the blessing of faith,

00:02:46--> 00:02:49

for the blessing of iman, for the blessing

00:02:49--> 00:02:51

of faith, for the blessing of the Quran,

00:02:53--> 00:02:53

right?

00:02:53--> 00:02:56

And if you are truly grateful to Allah,

00:02:57--> 00:02:59

then you will be grateful to Allah

00:03:00--> 00:03:00

for

00:03:01--> 00:03:04

anything and everything that comes to you from

00:03:04--> 00:03:04

Allah,

00:03:05--> 00:03:06

because

00:03:07--> 00:03:10

remember, real gratitude is to yearn for the

00:03:10--> 00:03:12

provider of the blessings.

00:03:13--> 00:03:13

Right?

00:03:14--> 00:03:15

And Allah's

00:03:16--> 00:03:17

blessings are always there,

00:03:18--> 00:03:20

don't, we recognize them or we don't.

00:03:18--> 00:03:20

don't, we recognize them or we don't.
