2. Thankfulness

English book, p. 6

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

achieving a trouble-free life, for that is something which can only be achieved in the next world. The greatest offering that anyone who wishes to earn a place in paradise can offer his Lord is a thankful heart. The only way to cultivate a feeling of thankfulness is to rise above the difficulties and problems of life. The price of heaven is gratitude; only those who have paid this price will enter heaven. Good Advice God commands you to hand back your trusts to their rightful owners and to pass judgement upon people with fairness. Noble is the advice God gives you. He hears all and observes all. Al-Nisa’4:58 He who fears God will take heed, but the most sinner will flout the warning. He shall be cast into the great Fire, where he shall neither die nor live. Successful is he who purifies himself, who remembers the name of his Lord and prays. Yet you (The unbelievers of Mecca) prefer the life of this world, although the life to come is better and more lasting. Al-Ghashiyah 87:10-17
