About this episode

Shaykh Faraz covers the chapter of Imam Haddad’s Book of Assistance on gratitude (shukr). He explains how, if we reflected, would we would find much to be grateful for in every state. He cites Qur’anic verses showing that gratitude bequeaths increase in blessings. Next, he discusses gratitude for wider blessings as well, such as faith and guidance. He closes by mentioning the basis of gratitude (recognizing that the blessing is from Allah, not you) and its consequence (using it in His obedience), as well as highlighting various manifestations of thankfulness.
