it guards us against harm, pain, and dirt. It gives us dignity, comfort, and ease. The Prophet Muhammad taught us a profound way to live: to notice our blessings, to be grateful, and to never belittle any gift, no matter how small. He said: “Look at those who are lower than you and do not look at those who are above you, for that is more likely to make you not belittle the blessings of God upon you.” (Sahih Muslim) That night, a missing pair of slippers taught me more than many sermons could. It reminded me to be alert—not just against theft—but alert to the gifts we live with each day. It reminded me to be humble, because everything we possess is temporary. And it reminded me to be thankful, because even something as simple as footwear can be a shield of mercy. So, next time you slip your feet into your footwear, pause for a second. Say Alhamdulillah (All praise is due to God). That small whisper of gratitude could be the key to recognizing a world full of unnoticed favours. The Center for Peace and Spirituality (CPS) is a renowned organization dedicated to promoting peace, harmony, and spiritual enlightenment.
