What is the ruling on saying "thank you to life" or "thank you"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Whoever is grateful for life, let him thank Allah, its Giver, the Most Glorified, the Most High, and not life itself, for life is a gift from Allah and not the giver. Allah Almighty said: "And Allah brought you forth from the wombs of your mothers while you knew nothing; and He made for you hearing and sight and hearts, that perhaps you would be grateful" (An-Nahl: 78).
