ALL PRAISE IS DUE TO GOD Discovering God’s greatness in the signs visible everywhere, one is compelled to say: ‘All praise and thankfulness is due to God, the Lord of the Worlds.’ One of the essential teachings of Islam is that on receiving anything, we should be grateful to God in acknowledgement of His bounty and utter these words ‘All praise and thankfulness is due to God, the Lord of the Worlds.’ Praise of God, in its true spirit, is the essence of the Quran. After accepting Islam, a believer’s inmost feelings find expression in these words of praise. Man’s existence is a blessing from God. Man’s extremely balanced body is a blessing from God.
