The difference between thanking Allah and
being thankful to Allah. I think that there is
a difference between thanking Allah and being
thankful. Before reading the Holy Quran and
getting to know Allah, I used to think the two
were the same, that thankfulness meant just
saying only thank you or Alhamdulillah to Him.
3

• But what I realized after reading the Holy Quran
• First of all, thankfulness is a behavior, an
  attitude, a state of mind that I need to maintain
  through out my life.

• Secondly, I dont just have to thank Allah I
  have to stay thankful to Allah.
• Being thankful does not mean to thank Allah only
  once or twice whenever He gives me what I want or
  when He blesses me with something.

6

• Being thankful means I have to thank Him whether
  He blesses me or not, whether He answers my
  prayers or not, whether Im in hardship or at
  ease in my life. I should trust Him and I should
  be satisfied with whatever He has provided me.

How to become a thankful person? We dont
usually realize the blessings around us, we just
focus on the things we want and pray for, or the
things that we dont have in our lives. Why?
9

• Because of jealousy.
• Because we compare ourselves with others.
• Because we are too busy focusing on what others
  have.
• Because we completely forget about the blessings
  that Allah has given us.

• So it is very important for us to realize the
  blessings and bounties of Allah on us.
• A thankful believer must
• Realize all the blessings, favors and grants of
  Allah and should also know that none of these are
  his right.

12

• Utilize them correctly and righteously. The way
  Allah has asked a Momin (believer) to.
• A thankful believer should stay pleased happy
  and content. He should be satisfied with the
  blessings given by Allah and then openly announce
  this state of mind, not only verbally, but also
  practically in his daily attitude.

13

• Its also important to stay down to earth while
  being obedient and following completely the
  instructions and commands of Allah and His Holy
  Prophet (PBUH) to become a thankful person.
