We often ask Allah for more, but forget to be grateful for what we already have. Take a moment to look around you, your health, family, food, home, faith and even the opportunity to repent are all blessings from Allah. Things that may feel normal or ordinary to us could be exactly what someone else is praying for. So before asking Allah for more, take a moment to say Alhamdulillah for what you already have.
Even if you tried to count all the blessings Allah has given you, you would never be able to count them all.
Quran 16:18 (Surah An-Nahl)
The Prophet ﷺ would stand in prayer at night until his feet became swollen. When asked why, he said:
“Should I not be a grateful servant?”
Sahih al-Bukhari 4837& Sahih Muslim 2820
May Allah make us grateful for every blessing, increase the barakah in our lives, protect us from taking His blessings for granted and grant us contentment with what He has given us. May He bless us with even more goodness in this life and the Hereafter Ameen.
