Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 2:172] O you who believe, eat from the good things we provided for you, and be thankful to GOD, if you do worship Him alone. 

[Quran 16:114] Therefore, you shall eat from GOD's provisions everything that is lawful and good, and be appreciative of GOD's blessings, if you do worship Him alone. 


We spend a good number of hours eating or planning and preparing to eat. God has blessed us with so many delicious foods and drinks. Praise be to Him.

Yet what part of the time we spend eating (or planning to eat) are we thanking God, the One who provides everything for us?

The beauty of His system is that the more we appreciate Him, the more we enjoy His provisions. The more we appreciate, the more He gives us (Quran 14:7).

What can we do to be more appreciative of God today?
