And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.' [Qur'an, Ibrahim 14:7]
Whoever is grateful for their blessings have guaranteed themselves an increase, and whoever fails to be grateful for their blessings is liable to losing their blessings.
Being grateful is that you recognize that every blessings you have is from Allah and then you use that blessing in the manner pleasing to Allah. The least gratitude is to not disobey Allah with them. He has blessed you with a tongue, don’t use it to gossip, slander, lie or backbite. He has blessed you with your eyes, the least you can do is to not disobey Allah with them.
Direct every blessings towards that which is pleasing to Allah. If you are of those who are truly grateful, which are few, then you are victorious.
True gratitude is seeing everything, pleasing things and displeasing things, as blessings from Allah. They are all opportunities to seek the pleasure of Allah. That is the state of Allah’s beloved Messenger (ﷺ) who asked “should I not be a truly grateful servant.”
May Allah make us of those who live victorious on the footsteps of the Prophet (ﷺ). Aameen.
