“If you are grateful, I shall certainly give you increase” [
Qur’an, 14:7]
Personal Comment: This includes not being ungrateful and for being greatful even if you believe you have nothing and have nothing to feel grateful about. If you do not express gratefulness, you are actually increasing the possibility of losses in future.
Everything we have are not our personal possessions, but in facts loaned from Allah, hence He has the full authority and jurisdiction to remove some of them if we are ungrateful and do not fulfil our rights in keeping them. These include the following-
1. Our health
2. Our homes (a roof over our head)
3. Our bodily organs and limbs
4. Our freedom (we can easily be arrested for example and go to jail)
5. Our means of existence (a salary, savings etc)
