			Gratitude a shook while I in Jakarta z then netcom and if you are thankful if you show gratefulness
if you have gratitude, I will increase you. So Pamela Shakur is a very, very powerful motivating
factor in my life in your life. It's one of the things that is supposed to bring us closer to Allah,
galvanize and strengthen our relationship and our worship with him and protect us from the
meanderings of our soul that seeks to lead us into the Sibyl the pathways that lead away from a
sirata Mustafa Shakur is beginning to acknowledge that Allah is the one who has total omnipotence
and power in everything that occurs in his creation. Why are you thankful to Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:00:48 --> 00:01:10
			is not just simply because you want more, although that will be a byproduct, let in Chicago Toma as
either necom if you are thankful I will increase you put Baraka in what you have, that's not what
you're seeking, you're seeking to thank Allah because He is worthy of the praise, He is worthy of
100 He is worthy of a sinner. And the word Alhamdulillah.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:55
			In praise and celebration of Allah is one of the elements of sugar. Sugar is of three important
steps, the sugar of the heart is recognizing that what you have of good is from Allah. And what you
have missed out of good is by the decision and the wisdom of Allah is that your heart does not mourn
or regret something that did not happen, or something that befell you in a way that makes you
distinct from Allah Shakur is to recognize that the power of change is not just within you, but in
that which Allah compels and allows you to perform. The second is that you use whatever blessings
that you have in that which is pleasing to Allah, and you limit them in that which is displeasing to
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:35
			Allah. So the thankfulness of the eyes is using it in that which is expected of it and the
thankfulness for the sight that you have is to limit it from the harm that has been prohibited upon
it. The thankfulness for the movement of your body is in fulfillment of your Salah. And that's why
our prayers are not just in our heart are whispered with our tongues. There is a physical
manifestation of bowing and making ruku. And so Jude Subhana, Allah how many most Muslims in certain
points in their life, as they mature in age are not able to bow down and make the sujood that they
used to in their times of youth and good well, wealth and health, that they mourn the days that they
		
00:02:35 --> 00:03:20
			may have missed a prayer. And the third level of shock is that you speak of your thankfulness to
Allah towards others by sharing it in that regard. And Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us at the end
of sort of a bow hub, where a man being there I met your Ambika the Hadith, therefore celebrate the
glory of that which you have been graced with by Allah subhanho wa Taala. How do I celebrate it by
using it in the betterment of myself and others, that the wealth that I have it's zeca is paid at
sadaqa is fulfilled. The energy that I have is not just in that which is frivolous or sport, but
that which is also building up and assistance of others. All three levels of sugar are an
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:41
			instrumental factor in US remaining distinct from El kufr. cofra is begins with ingratitude
recognizing other than a law, including our own selves as being the reason for our success. May
Allah Subhana Allah make us from those who have shook and are distant from El Kufa Allahumma amin
