21. Count Your Blessings

At a time when counting money, steps and calories is the trend, rise higher and ‘Count Your Blessings’!

Reflect upon your blessings.

Enlist them- big & small, physical, intellectual, emotional & spiritual.

Glance at the family/friends surrounding you, take note of your health, ponder over skills and opportunities you have.

Soon, you will realise how rich you truly are!

And while you count your blessings, for the count may be countless, appreciate ALL that you have and thank the One who provided it…

For it is Allah (SWT)’s promise,

لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ

“If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor].” [Surah Ibrahim: 7]

If you want more, then cultivate a heart that brims with gratitude & a tongue that is moist with ‘Alḥamdulillāh’.

It’s simple…Instead of Troubles –

‘Count Your Blessings’!
