A beautiful du’a taught by Allah’s Messenger s.a.w:O Allah!

Help me to remember You,

be grateful to You and worship You beautifully.’

– Narrated byMu’adh ibn Jabal r.a.

Gratitude is the essence of worship;  it is the first human expression of Adam a.s.and the lasting expression of people of Jannah! It is a new year to begin with a discussion of ‘what it is to be grateful’, to Allah swt, to people around us, and the kind of person we will grow up to be if we start expressing gratitude in words, gestures.  Let us also realize the countless blessings we have to be grateful for and thank Allah swt for them!

As teachers and parents, let’s develop ‘gratitude’ in our attitude on a daily basis, from small matters to life’s larger scope, so that our children get these lessons year round in our dealings with them and others.
