A word is simply not enough,
To express the gratitude I merely hold,
It may seem absurd but this fact must be preferred,
Cause you were always there to help me up.
Truly you deserve nothing but respect,
Never did you fail to neglect nor reject,
You steered me to consider and for that,
You are present-perfect.
Of your guidance I am glad,
Your words taught me to reflect,
Your actions took effect,
Never again, will I show disrespect.
A word is simply not enough,
To express the gratitude I merely hold,
It may seem absurd, but this fact must be preferred,
For your determination, patience and inspiration,
I think of nothing but a virtuous word...
I know there's like hundreds, and thousands, and millions, and billions, and gazillions (if that's a real number), but which if your favorite one?
I came across one that I really liked earlier today:
1. Whoever says “SubhanAllah wa bihamdihi - Glory to Allah and praise Him.” a hundred times during the day, his sins are wiped away, even if they are like the foam of the sea.[Sahih al-Bukhari; #7:168, Sahih Muslim; #4:2071]
Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas (ra) said: I said: “O Messenger of Allah, which of the people are most sorely tested?” He said: “The Prophets, then the next best and the next best. A man will be tested in accordance with his level of religious commitment. If his religious commitment is strong, he will be tested more severely, and if his religious commitment is weak, he will be tested in accordance with his religious commitment. Calamity will keep befalling a person until he walks on the earth with no sin on him.” Reported in At-Tirmidhi.
