Grateful for The Blessings of Allah SWT
Allah says which means "If you are grateful for my blessings, then I will increase those blessings. However, if on the contrary, you acknowledge my blessings, then Allah's punishment is very painful."
When we talk about blessings, sometimes we only think of bodily pleasures. What we can see, what we can feel, what we can touch, that sometimes we think is delicious. But actually God's blessings are very many.
There are 6 pleasures, what are they?
The first is the blessings of Islam. We as Muslims, when we say the shahada "Asyhaduallailahaillallah waasyhaduannamuhammadarrasulullah," it is an extraordinary pleasure, and that is the main pleasure.
We are destined to become a Muslim. It is an incredible pleasure. Sometimes we forget to be grateful. We forget that we as a Muslim, this is a pleasure.
Indeed, the true religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. So, Islam is a pleasure.
Furthermore, the prophet Muhammad was also a blessing for Muslims. Let's see if we think about how the prophet Muhammad was not revealed to us. The Prophet Muhammad was sent to perfect morals. We cannot imagine if the prophet Muhammad had not been sent by Allah to perfect morals on this earth. What are the morals of this Umad?
So, the prophet Muhammad is an extraordinary blessing, Sallu'alannabi Muhammad.
So it is very appropriate if we often pray to the Prophet Muhammad. This is one of our gratitude that the prophet Muhammad is a gift, a blessing that Allah sent down to the human umad
Next, a blessing that is no less is the Alqur'anulkarim. The Qur'an is an extraordinary blessing. Way of life.
One problem, all the problems of life by Allah have been regulated in the Qur'an as a guideline. This is a pleasure. So, how can we be grateful for the Qur'an itself as a blessing, by minimally reading it frequently. We often read the Qur'an, moreover we appreciate its contents, we practice it. That is one way we are grateful for Allah's blessings, in the form of the Koran.
Next, what is it? Safety. Yes, salvation is also a truly extraordinary blessing. We are safe from danger, we are safe from calamity, we are not affected by disaster, are physically healthy, spiritually healthy. It is an also extraordinary pleasure.
Let's see how our brothers are affected by disaster. Every day bombs boom there, there. How bullets every day hit them, every morning until night.
If we turn around to see how in Indonesia we live in peace and safety. So salvation is also a favor from Allah.
Next there are blessings which are not less, namely blessings when we don't become someone who begs from other people.
Sometimes we as humans are less grateful. When we see little of our sustenance, we complain. In fact, one of the pleasures included is how we don't beg, that is a blessing. Whatever fortune we take, whatever fortune we get, as long as we try as much as possible. We try from morning until evening with the intention of worship to seek sustenance from Allah, then whatever we receive, it is a pleasure in itself. We are no longer begging, it is already a enjoyment.
So once again, let's think, don't ever think that blessings are only physical, all that exists on this earth. Well, that's from ancient times, namely the Prophet Muhammad SAW.
Be grateful for every pleasure we receive. So, God willing, Allah will continue to increase your blessings.
Blessings are not only in the form of wealth, but peace of the soul, happiness is an incomparable pleasure.
Hopefully it's useful, thank you for reading.
Greetings always compact.
