In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

God has given us many blessings whether it's in terms of knowledge, health or resources. How do we use these gifts from God? Do we use our brains and our tongues to think good thoughts and speak good words? Do we use our money to give to charity? If we are blessed with more, isn't our responsibility for righteousness greater?


[Quran 24:22] Those among you who are blessed with resources and wealth shall be charitable towards their relatives, the poor, and those who have immigrated for the sake of GOD. They shall treat them with kindness and tolerance; do you not love to attain GOD's forgiveness? GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.

	Greater Miracles Bring Greater Responsibility*
[Quran 5:114-115] Said Jesus, the son of Mary, "Our god, our Lord, send down to us a feast from the sky. Let it bring plenty for each and every one of us, and a sign from You. Provide for us; You are the best Provider."
GOD said, "I am sending it down. Anyone among you who disbelieves after this, I will punish him as I never punished anyone else."*
*5:114-115 The Quran's overwhelming miracle (Appendix 1) is described in 74:35 as "One of the greatest miracles," and brings with it an uncommonly great responsibility.


May God help us to work righteousness to show our appreciation.
