Summary of speech

Dear Islamic brothers! In today’s speech, we have had the privilege of listening to the ways of appreciating the blessings and expressing thanks for them. We have heard that only the acts of obedience to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ should be carried out with these blessings; the same thing we have learnt from the blessed life of pious predecessors.

The blessings of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ are so much that cannot be counted by anyone.

Expressing thanks for blessings, remembering them, praising them and refraining from being unthankful in every circumstance have been the favourite practices of the righteous bondmen of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

By virtue of the blessing of expressing thanks for the blessings, a bondman attains the status of Siddiqiyyat.

By virtue of the blessing of expressing thanks for the blessings a person is recorded amongst thankful people.

Expressing thanks for the blessings brings about the success of nations.

Expressing thanks for the blessings brings about the increase in the blessing, whereas being unthankful brings about the end of the blessing.
