The Gratitude Thread

Salaam

The British moan, criticise and complain a lot ….be it regarding the weather, traffic or inflation. Most people are always "stressed out"...

Modern research on stress has often focused on the fact that, living in the West, we have little reason for real stress, and we often exaggerate it.

In the past we’ve had moaning/whining threads…threads on stuff that annoys us/stuff that makes us angry.

So….why don’t we have a “count your blessings thread”.

What do we have that we’re extremely grateful for? What do we have that no one else has?

We should all list all that we’re grateful for in this thread…Allah (swt) has said that if we were to sit about count all that He has given us we will not be able to…

He’s also said that, those who appreciate what they have will receive even more…

So, count/list your blessings..(I’ll do so in a bit)

Wasalaam

True love is the best thing in the world.

Nothing else even comes close.

...live everyday as your last day...

having a family is a blessing.

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

A rose protects its beauty with thorns..a woman protects hers with a veil

the internet is a blessing
so is the fridge
juice is a blessing, think of all the people who have to drink water
friends are a blessing
parents are a blessing, especially when they give you money
and MONEY is a blessing
