Always Make Shukr

Shukr to Allah ﷻ. We should make Shukr every day, every second and every minute to Allah ﷻ who gives us everything, because with Shukr, we perform our worship to Allah ﷻ. Who doesn’t make Shukr makes Kufr, because Allah ﷻ says that He ﷻ created mankind as ungrateful. Why are they ungrateful? It is because they obey their egos.

If they don’t obey their egos, they will make Shukr for everything. And who makes Shukr is in profit. To attain the pleasure of Allah ﷻ is the most important thing. Who doesn’t make Shukr – Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla doesn’t need our Shukr anyway. We are in need of making Shukr to Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. Therefore, Shukr to Allah ﷻ we were meant to meet again. And to meet, to gather with believers is a great favor.

May Allah ﷻ protect us, we are living in such a time; as we said, it is the time of Kufr, the time of rebellion. We are living in the time when badness is ordered. Therefore, we should always order goodness. And the top of goodness is to make Shukr to Allah ﷻ, to praise Allah ﷻ. We must do this in return for the favors He ﷻ gives us. We must not obey shaytans. The shaytans encourage you to rebel and make Kufr. Who does that gets no benefit, only harm instead. Therefore, turn towards Allah ﷻ, believe in Allah ﷻ and make Shukr to Allah ﷻ.

Days are passing. We were just celebrating Eid al-Fitr and then Eid al-Adha came, the feast of Hajj. Hajjis have returned from their Hajj. Another Hijri year is coming to an end. Therefore, if you make Shukr, everything will be useful for you. If you don’t make Shukr, everything will be useless. Your life will be over and you will be gone too. This world will be over as well. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May He ﷻ make us all from the Shakirin, the grateful ones insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
