Drawn to The Divine

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

These are just small audio clips (1-2 minutes) with Shaykh Nuh Ha Mim Keller on the topic of gratitude that I wanted to share. There is just so much benefit for the seeker within them, alhamdulillah.

Grateful for My Health

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

It always takes for Allah to remove something from me to realize how ungrateful I have been for His many blessings, subhana’Allah. Last week it was a toothache and this week it is the flu that has been going around. For hours last night I felt miserable and all I could think about was how good I felt the day before. I didn’t thank Him much for allowing me to get rid of my toothache and earache last week after 4 days of pain. This time I feel like getting sick is just another wake up call. In many ways it is a window of opportunity that Allah is placing before me to make me realize that I have many blessings and that I need to start paying more attention. How do I increase my gratitude in action, though? That’s a question that requires some serious thinking on my part but I can start by saying Alhamdulillah a lot more and complaining less. Alhamdulillah for good health and for sickness.
