Our thoughts and emotions emit powerful signals that have the ability to affect us and our environment. When we are grateful or have positive empowering thoughts, we attract positive energy and miracles happen. Allah SWT has bestowed us with infinite blessings but we usually overlook these bounties and focus on what we don’t have and often become sad or depressed and lose hope. When a person adapts an attitude of gratitude, not only does the outlook towards life become positive and hopeful, but things also become easy. Looking at the brighter side of life makes the harshest reality seems tolerable. In this bayan, learn the benefits of being grateful and how Allah SWT promises to increase blessings when we are thankful.
