The answer

Indeed, Allah's blessings upon His servants are numerous and diverse, impossible to enumerate or fully encompass. This is affirmed by the noble verse: ﴿And if you should count the favor of Allah, you could not enumerate them.﴾ Meaning, if you were to try to limit or count them, you would not be able to. A person can count some of them, but they will not reach their full enumeration. Therefore, there is no harm in saying, "Allah's blessings are countless and immeasurable."
