How can I increase my gratitude to Allah Almighty for His countless blessings, especially after my repentance and guidance?
The servant must thank Allah Almighty for His blessings. Gratitude is expressed in the heart through submission and humility, on the tongue through praise and acknowledgment, and through the limbs by obedience and compliance. What helps in this is realizing its importance and the reward it entails, and seeking it from Allah Almighty. Indeed, Allah has commanded it, praised those who practice it, promised them more, and made them the beneficiaries of His signs. Allah has described His prophets with it, such as Ibrahim and Nuh, peace be upon them, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was a grateful servant. He encouraged us to seek Allah's help in remembering Him, thanking Him, and worshipping Him well. Gratitude is built upon five foundations: the grateful person's submission to the One thanked, his love for Him, his acknowledgment of His blessing, his praise of Him for it, and that he does not use it in ways displeasing to Him.
