The Prophet's \ufdfa Gratitude\nDelivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on Friday 4th December 2020 at Al Kawthar Academy, Leicester\n\nVideo: https://youtu.be/MYUhLiZhE2I\n\nThe Prophet \ufdfa was a leading example when showing gratitude towards the creation and the Creator. Many du'\u0101 uttered by the Prophet \ufdfa include words of gratitude to All\u0101h and he would often pray excessively for those who carried out favours for him.\n\nThis talk starts by establishing that it is a command of All\u0101h that we acknowledge Him and that gratitude is a manifestation of that acknowledgement. It shows how previous prophets showed gratitude and how the Prophet \ufdfa was told to follow in their footsteps. The Prophet's \ufdfa gratitude to All\u0101h is shown by his \u2018ib\u0101dah, the wording of his du'\u0101 and his dhikr, all of which are mentioned to be connected to gratitude.\n\nThereafter the gratitude of the Prophet \ufdfa to the creation is mentioned, including his genuine generosity. Several examples show how the Prophet \ufdfa showed gratitude to the \u1e63a\u1e25\u0101bah and even non-Muslims and enemies for kind actions. The talk emphasises the need to reciprocate favours of other humans, even if by making du'\u0101' for them.\n\nBelow are some of the topics mentioned in this talk:\n- Worship of All\u0101h connected to shukr\n- Du'\u0101 beginning with the praise of All\u0101h\n- The Prophet's \ufdfa habit of sleeping\n- Irrational fear of poverty\n- Sincere du'\u0101 for others\n- The Prophet's \ufdfa du'\u0101 for others\n- Gratitude towards non-Muslims\n- Description of the Prophet \ufdfa in earlier scriptures\n\n*This talk took place during the coronavirus pandemic and the Academy was not open to the public.*\n\n**********************************************************************\n\nWebsite: www.akacademy.org\nYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/alkawtharacademy\nFacebook: www.facebook.com/alkawtharacademy\nTwitter: www.twitter.com/alkawthar\nInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/alkawtharacademy\n\n**********************************************************************
