Dear Islamic brothers! Undoubtedly, a person must never lose focus of the limitless and countless blessings of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, no matter what circumstances he is facing. Therefore, if a difficulty arises, or a blessing is not there anymore, even then, there will be other countless blessings. So the wise person is one who remains patient under such conditions and tolerates them for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Under these conditions, even the act of remaining patient also brings about mercy. Listen to 4 blessed sayings of Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم regarding this and develop the passion to act upon them:

1.         The most Revered and Renowned Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘There are two qualities, whoever possesses them, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will write him down as being grateful and patient, and whoever does not possess them, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will not write him down as being grateful nor patient.

(Those two qualities are) (1) Whoever looks to the one above him for his religion, and follows him in it, and whoever looks to the one who is below him in worldly matters, and is grateful to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ for the superiority that He عَزَّوَجَلَّ has given him over that person, then Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ writes him down as being grateful and patient. (2) And whoever looks to the one who is below him for his religion, and looks to the one who is above him for worldly matters, and then grieves over what he has been deprived of, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ does not write him down as being grateful nor as patient.’ (Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 4, pp. 229, Hadees 2520)

2.         If Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ intends a group of people to do good, then He عَزَّوَجَلَّ lengthens their life and inspires them to show thanks. (Firdaus-ul-Akhbar, vol.1, pp. 148, Hadees 954)

3.         The person upon whom Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ grants a blessing, and he then     wants to continue to have that blessing, then he should abundantly recite ‘لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا  قُوَّۃَ  اِلَّا بِاللہِ’. (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 17, pp. 310, 859)

4.         When Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ grants His bondman a blessing and he recites ‘اَلۡحَمۡدُ لِلّٰهِ’ for it (i.e., he gives thanks) then this word is better than the granting of blessing to him, before Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. (Sunan Ibn Majah, vol. 4, pp. 250, Hadees 3805)
