Gratitude to God
English book, p. 38
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
GRATITUDE TO GOD All forms of worship, are, in essence, manifestations of the feeling of that gratefulness, which is at the heart of a God-oriented life. Gratitude entails acknowledgement of God’s blessings. Gratitude means acknowledging the blessings of God. This acknowledgement has to be heartfelt, and only then does it take verbal form. Human beings have been created with the best of bodies and the best of minds. All our requirements have been amply provided for. All the things of the earth and the heavens have been pressed into our service. All the things which we require to lead a life on earth or to build a civilization have been bestowed on us in abundance. These blessings are showered upon an individual at all times. It is, therefore, incumbent upon him to repeatedly express his acknowledgement of God’s blessings. His heart should then overflow with the feeling of gratitude.
