A Muslim Prayer of

Thankfulness

In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

In the Qur’an, God Almighty says: “Remember! Your Lord has de-
clared, ‘If you are grateful, I will increase my favors upon you.” (14:7).

There are so many favors and blessings that we need to be thankful

for; blessings that we take for granted.

Thanking God should be much more than simply offering a one-

day thank you prayer after a dinner. We must show our thanks in
our actions, every day. Prophet Muhammad said that “Those who
do not thank people, they do not thank God”

Let’s thank God for His blessings by thanking those people who de-
liver those blessings to us. Let’s thank the workers, the farmers, the
laborers, the drivers, and all the good people by treating them fairly,
the way we would like to be
treated.

O God, grant us thankful-

ness to you by helping pro-
mote a culture of justice and
equity to other people.

Amen
