*Being Grateful For The Blessings*

➖➖➖

When Allah ﷻ has commanded us with His obedience, while He is free from needing us.

Listen to what Allah ﷻ says

*وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ*

 

_And for Allah is all that is in the heavens and the earth._

*وَلَقَدْ وَصَّيْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ وَإِيَّاكُمْ*

_We have recommended to the People of the Scripture before you, and to you_

*أَنِ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۚ*

_That you fear Allah_

*وَإِن تَكْفُرُوا۟ فَإِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ*

_And if you disbelieve, then surely for Allah is what is in the heavens and the earth._

*وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَنِيًّا حَمِيدًۭا*

_And Allah is ever rich and worthy of all praise._

[4:131]

Allah ﷻ is free from need of us.

Allah ﷻ says [in a Hadith Qudsi]

_"O My slaves! Were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as wicked as the most wicked heart of anyone of you, that would not decrease My kingdom anything."_

[Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2577]

And this is the proof of Allah's independence of us 

And Allah ﷻ says in the same Hadith Qudsi _"O My slaves! Were the first of you and the last of you, the human being of you and the jinn of you to be as pious as the most pious heart of anyone of you, that would not increase My kingdom anything."_

[Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2577]

 *سبحان الله*

We in our misguidance we feel we are free of need of Allah ﷻ! 

But this is far from the truth!

We are totally in dependence of Allah ﷻ! 

And if you were to try to count His blessings, you wouldn't be able to! 

Yet we feel that we are free of the need to worship Allah ﷻ...

As Allah ﷻ says 

*كَلَّا إِنَّ الإِنسَانَ لَيَطغٰى*

_Nay! Surely man sees himself self-sufficient._

[96:6]

_

We need to break this cycle of arrogance! 

And really come to terms and the realisation.

_

Allah ﷻ says 

*وَ خُلِقَ الإِنسَانُ ضَعِيفًا*

_And Mankind was created weak._

[4:28]

_

Provided for us is our oxygen, is our food, is our water, our spouses, ALL of our blessings!

_

Once we realise this! 

We will become grateful, grateful for ALL of our blessings

_

Because Allah ﷻ already provides for all of us!

_

Doesn't it then make sense, that our slave hood, compels us towards His obedience?!

*Reflect..*
