Growing up and the Gratitude Culture

بسم الله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله

Being Thankful is your reason for existence! 

Gratitude is a Muslim’s raison d’etre.

Indeed, it is the announcement of the Creator of all humans!

It is Jazakallaah Khayra, not just Jazakallaah!

The words  الحمد لله AlHamdu Lillah are most commonly uttered from Muslim lips around the world. After the basmalah (the tag name used for BISMILLAHI ALRAHMANI ALRAHEEMI),  it is the first statement mentioned in the opening Surah, al-Fatiha. One way to explore the beauty, precision , and thought provoking eloquence of the Qur’an’s words is to explore the very choice of each word. Arabic is a rich language full of terms similar in meaning.
