Gratitude for Blessings
نعمتوں پر شکر
إِذَا وَصَلَتْ إِلَيْكُمْ أَطْرَافُ النِّعَمِ فَلَا تُنْفِرُوا أَقْصَاهَا بِقِلَّةِ الشُّكْرِ.
جب نعمتوں کے ابتدائی حصے تم تک پہنچیں تو ناشکری سے ان کے باقی حصوں کو اپنے پاس آنے سے نہ روکو۔
“When the ends of blessings reach you, do not drive away the rest of them through lack of gratitude.”
Reflections: Imam Ali (as) presents gratitude (Shukr) as a magnet for more blessings. He compares blessings to a flow; if we receive the first part with thankfulness, the rest will follow. However, ingratitude acts as a barrier that prevents the completion and increase of God’s favor upon us.
