The Power of Gratitude (Shukr) in Islam

Introduction

Gratitude or Shukr is more than just saying Alhamdulillah. In Islam, it's a way of life, a constant reminder that everything we have is from Allah ﷻ. From the food we eat to the breath we take, every blessing deserves acknowledgment. The Qur'an and Sunnah highlight that true success lies in recognizing Allah's favors and thanking Him in both ease and hardship.

When we live with gratitude, our hearts become lighter, our patience grows stronger, and our lives are filled with barakah. Let's explore the power of Shukr through Qur'anic verses, Hadith, and beautiful du'as that you can revive daily.
