The Method of Expressing Gratitude and Living with Shukr
- to be happy with the bounties and favors of Allah and thereby develop a love for Him,
- through this love one must have this yearning and desire in one's heart that since He has blessed me with so many bounties, I will render ibadah to Him in the best way possible, and
- that it is extremely shameful to disobey the one who has blessed me with such bounties.
Since one experiences these bounties all the time, the happiness and love will have to remain in the heart - that at no time will he display any shortcoming in fulfilling the commands of Allah.
The method of attaining this quality is that one should remember and ponder over the numerous bounties and favors of Allah.
