In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 16:18] If you count GOD's blessings, you cannot possibly encompass them. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.

[Quran 39:66] Therefore, you shall worship GOD alone, and be appreciative.


With the COVID19 pandemic and other problems in the world around us, Satan may try to instill fear into us (Quran 3:175) or make us unappreciative of God (Quran 7:17). But, the fact is if we count God's blessings, we could not possibly encompass them (Quran 14:34, 16:18).

When was the last time we stopped to think about God's blessings and what we are thankful for? God tells us: the more we thank Him, the more He gives us (Quran 14:7). So, if we want to enjoy more health and happiness, then doesn't it make sense to thank God for these blessings?

[Quran 46:15] ... "My Lord, direct me to appreciate the blessings You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to do the righteous works that please You. ... "
