As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmutallahi Wa Baraakaatahu,
It’s your Sunnah Infographics Family here!
We hope you are well and in the best of health and emaan.
Quick Question.
Think of a person who has helped you recently?
Did you thank them?
An important question to ask ourselves.
Let's dive in to learn more.
Ayat Al Qur’an - Surah Al Baqarah (2:152)
فَٱذْكُرُونِىٓ أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِى وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ
Therefore remember Me (by praying, glorifying, etc.). I will remember you, and be grateful to Me (for My countless Favours on you) and never be ungrateful to Me.
1 Hadith
Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever does not thank the people has not thanked Allah.”

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لاَ يَشْكُرُ اللَّهَ مَنْ لاَ يَشْكُرُ النَّاسَ

Reflection Point
Throughout life there are always times that the Muslim goes through trials, difficult moments and periods of weakness in health.
Times when you require support, help, advice and good counsel.
In these moments, it is important to turn to Allah, The Most High.
In supplication and devotion.
The support of the community, family and friends also play a role in helping you through these times.
The problem arises when we forget about those who have helped us.
Supported us...
Aided us....
And looked after us in times of sickness.
Like our parents and good companions.
Let's take a look at this simple example.
It’s like a person who used a ladder to climb to the top of the tree to reach the fruit.
When he arrived at the top, he completely forgot about the ladder.
As a result, the ladder leaves him and falls out of sight.
All of a sudden he has no way down.
Except by a long fall, a difficult climb down or a terrible end.
SubhanAllah!
It’s the same as an ungrateful or proud person!
Here at Sunnah Infographics, we try our best to encourage our community upon goodness, gratefulness and thankfulness to Allah first and foremost and thereafter the people who have aided and assisted us all.
We’d certainly like to say a BIG thank you to YOU, our online community for sharing our Infographics worldwide, subscribing to our New Premium Newsletter and supporting our mission!
We can't really do it without you all!
This week we have prepared a simple and thankful infographic, aimed at thanking those around us!
We don't always get the opportunity to say thank you to others in life.
So now is a good time!
This week we are encouraging our online community and other Muslim communities across the world to share the Infographic with a simple "thank you" to those you love and appreciate.
For verily the reminder benefits the believer!
Be thankful and grateful to Allah first and foremost and then to the people around you.
Being thankful to those around you, creates good relationships, prosperity, love and humility.
Being thankful is a trait that embodies noble character and creates a tranquil heart.
Alhamdulillah.
Don’t forget to share the infographic with others! -
"Whoever guides someone to goodness will have a reward like one who did it.
