The Importance of Being Thankful

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa Raḥmatullāhi wa Barakātuh. A‘ūdhu Billāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismillāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi Rasūlillāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad. Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:, “Wa Jaala Lakumu As-Sama Wa Al-'Abşāra Wa Al-'Af'idata ◌ Qalīlāan Mā Tashkurūn”, “And made for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful”.” (Qur’an 32:09). Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says in Surat Sajdah, “We create you from earth and gave you everything, especially to hear and to see. But very few people are thankful for Allāh ﷻ.” Very few people are thankful for their Lord, their Creator, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. To be thankful is a big blessing for the one who is thankful for Allāh ﷻ. Allāh ﷻ is happy with him, Allāh ﷻ loves him. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is also happy. Mashāyikh are happy with him.

Our aim in this life, in our life, is the happiness, the pleasure of Allāh ﷻ and Prophet ﷺ and Mashāyikh, Awliyā’uLlah. And this comes from being thankful for Allāh ﷻ.

It is a big thing to be thankful. Maybe people think it’s not such a big matter but it is a very big thing. We are thanking him for every hour, every minute, every second.

May Allāh ﷻ make us meet again in this blessed place. May Allāh ﷻ give you more and more insha’Allah. For whom is thankful, He ﷻ is giving more. May Allāh ﷻ make you Hidayah (guidance) for all Spain.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
