Encouraging Gratitude

Aale Imran/The Family of Imran

Encouraging Gratitude

Allah said,
"Say" [3:26]
- O Muhammad , while praising your Lord, thanking Him, relying in all matters upon Him and trusting in Him.
"O Allah! Possessor of the power" [3:26]
- Meaning, all sovereignty is Yours,
"You give power to whom You will, and You take power from whom You will, and You endue with honor whom You will, and You humiliate whom You will." [3:26]
- meaning, You are the Giver, You are the Taker, it is Your will that occurs and whatever You do not will, does not occur. This Ayah encourages thanking Allah for the favors He granted His Messenger and his Ummah. Allah transferred the prophethood from the Children of Israel to the Arab, Qurashi, Makkan, unlettered Prophet, the Final and Last of all Prophets and the Messenger of Allah to all mankind and Jinn. Allah endowed the Prophet with the best of qualities from the prophets before him. Allah also granted him extra qualities that no other Prophet or Messenger before him was endowed with, such as granting him (more) knowledge of Allah and His Law, knowledge of more of the matters of the past and the future, such as what will occur in the Hereafter. Allah allowed Muhammad's Ummah to reach the eastern and western parts of the world and gave dominance to his religion and Law over all other religions and laws.


May Allah's peace and blessings be on the Prophet until the Day of Judgment, Ameen
