Therefore, we should thank Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ for each of His blessings and we must abstain from disobeying Him because if we thank Him for our blessings, they will increase.

Sayyiduna ‘Utaarid Qurashi رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has reported that the Prophet of Rahmah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘When Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ grants His bondman the ability to thank Him, He عَزَّوَجَلَّ then does not deprive him of an increase in blessings, because He عَزَّوَجَلَّ has said:

[لَئِنْ   شَكَرْ  تُمْ   لَاَ زِيدَ نَّكُمْ

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: If you give thanks, I will give you more.          (Part 13, Surah Ibraheem, verse 7)

(Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 4, pp. 124, Hadees 4526)

Sayyiduna ‘Ali Bin Saalih رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: This (verse) means that if you thank Me with obedience and worship, then I will increase your blessings.

(Tafseer Tabari, part 13, Ibraheem, Taht-al-Ayah 7, vol. 7, pp. 420, Hadees 20585)

Truth about thanks

Dear Islamic brothers! The truth behind being thankful is that one should acknowledge the blessing of the One Who has granted it, with His reverence and make the Nafs habitual of this.  Here, a Madani pearl is to be noted: When a person studies the blessings, different graces and favours of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, he then becomes occupied with thanking Him. This act raises the blessings and the love for Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ continues to increase in the heart of that person. This status is very high and a higher status than this is that love for the One Who is granting these blessings should be so dominant that the heart should not be inclined towards these blessings anymore. This is the status of the Siddiqeen. (Siraat-ul-Jinaan, vol. 5, pp. 153; slightly modified)
