بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet (pbuh) said, *“Whoever does not thank people has not thanked Allah.”* 📚Sunan Abi‌ Da‌wu‌d 4811

Even Allah (swt) has mentioned it that gratitude for His blessings are conditional on the continual perpetuation of his grace upon mankind:

لَئِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ

"If you are grateful, would certainly give to you more..."📚(Q14:7)

My sister,

If a friend or relative or neighbours presented you with a small gift, you would thank them repeatedly as if u are given license to entering paradise😀 but if it's your husband, u take it to be his duties, therefore, he doesn't deserve to be thanked very well and repeatedly.

Some women, upon sighting the item or gift....🙆‍♀️, condemnation upon condemnation! Some may even throw it on the ground😀. How would ur husband use his money to buy what he knows u would not like?

Although,

*"A stranger’s bread is sweeter than a father’s bread."* — This age-old proverb captures a puzzling truth about human nature, especially in relationships where familiarity breeds indifference.

Consider the Muslim married woman who, when shown kindness by an outsider, showers them with endless thanks— *"JazakAllah Khairan"* a thousand times over—yet barely acknowledges the daily sacrifices of her own husband😃. But what happens when kindness is met with silence? When the husband’s sacrifices are dismissed as *"just his duty?"* When gratitude vanishes, the will to give vanishes with it.

My sister,

Islam teaches that charity or any kind of goodness should be *"for the sake of Allah,"* yet human nature craves acknowledgment. Yes. This is why it was clearly stated in the authentic Hadith *“Whoever does not thank people has not thanked Allah.”* 📚Source: Sunan Abi‌ Da‌wu‌d 4811

Now,

When a man’s efforts are met with cold indifference, he may think, *"Why throw good money after bad?"* 

A wise man once said, *"Gratitude is the memory of the heart."* When that memory fades, so does the desire to give. Yes. A husband who is never thanked may ask, *"Am I just a wallet with legs?😀"*

A simple *"thank you"* each time your husband done you a favor preserves a river of generosity for tomorrow.

So, to the wife who forgets her husband’s sacrifices: *"Don’t bite the hand that feeds you"*  and *"Even the sweetest water turns bitter when taken for granted."* 

To the giver whose efforts go unseen: *"The tree remembers, the axe forgets—but Allah never forgets a single deed."*
