Allah ﷻ says in the Qur’an:
اَلَم نَجعَل لَّهُ عَينَين
Have we not made for him two eyes?
وَ لِسَانًا وَّ شَفَتَين
And a tongue and two lips?
[90:8-9]
_
Ponder over the blessings of Allah ﷻ, just these three will make you realise how much you have been blessed!
_
If I were to ask you, give me both of your eyes and I’ll give you a Million for each, would any of you volunteer readily without hesitating?
_
No! Why?! Because you and I both know, that our eyes are integral to our daily lives!
_
What about your tongue!?
If I offered to cut off your tongue in exchange for gold, would you take it?
No!
Because you and I both know, that this tongue we have been blessed with,
Without it, we can never converse and be heard.
_
What about our lips?
Did you even realise, that your lips help you keep your food in your mouth, help you close your mouth and help you to form sound.
_
Look at these gifts, that Allah ﷻ blessed us with!
But how ungrateful and arrogant we stand,
That we look at Haram, we speak, eat, and kiss that which is Haram!
_
If you want to truly realise the blessings of Allah ﷻ, imagine yourself without the things you have right now!
_
And Allah ﷻ says
وَإِن تَعُدُّوا۟ نِعْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَآ ۗ
And if you were to count the blessings of Allah, never will you be able to count them.
[14:34]
_
If you want to truly show gratefulness to Allah ﷻ then use your eyes to read Qur’an and other beneficial books!
Your tongue and lips to remember Allah ﷻ and spread Islam!
_
Allah ﷻ says
فَٱذْكُرُونِىٓ أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِى وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ
Remember me and I’ll remember you, and be grateful to me and don’t be ungrateful!
[2:152]
_
Will you not take heed, and stop showing ungratefulness and arrogance via your actions towards the same creator who blessed you with limbs?
_
Will you not turn back, moisten your eyes and tongue with remembrance and tire your arms and legs in obedience?
_
Remember that you will be questioned in regards to how you used your blessings in this Dunya!
They will either testify for you or against you!
_
May Allah ﷻ protect us and forgive our shortcomings.
آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ
