Think for a moment, who has helped you before? Maybe your parents who were always there, a friend who helped you in difficult times, or even a stranger who gave unexpected assistance. What have you done to appreciate their kindness?
Appreciating Someone's Kindness
O Muslim women! Let none of you look down upon a gift sent by her female neighbor, even if it is only a sheep's trotter (the part of the leg with little meat).
Book 43: Chapter 1: Number 2566
Al-Bukhari, M. (2020) Sahih Al-Bukhari. Compiled by M. Mohee Uddin.Expressing Gratitude Rasulullah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever is not grateful to the people, he is not grateful to Allah.”
Sometimes saying "thank you" is considered too formal, and some people even say, and some people even say, "Why say thank you when we already know each other well?" But in Islam, expressing gratitude isn't just ordinary politeness; it is part of being grateful to Allah.
Want a simple way to boost your happiness? Connect with others by thanking the important people in your life. When you express gratitude, it's a win-win situation; the person receiving it feels appreciated, and you feel happier, too.
Praying for Allah to Reward Their Kindness Rasulullah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever receives a favor and says to the person, 'Jazakallahu khairan' (which means: May Allah give you a good reward), has truly expressed perfect gratitude.”
Membalas Kebaikannya Rasulullah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever receives kindness from someone should repay it. If he cannot find anything to repay with, let him praise that person, for if he praises him, he has shown gratitude to him. But if he conceals it, then he has denied his kindness.”
