تعریف Optimistic approach و شکر

•  Praise + gratitude •  Who do you praise? •  Who are you thankful to? •  Are you always thankful to the one you praise? •  Do you always praise the one you are thankful? •  Do we always understand the larger plans? •  Do kids understand when parents give them medicine? •  Benefit of using the word Allah •  Difference between saying “Praise and gratidue belong to Allah” and

“ We praise and show gratitude to Allah”

12

Be Grateful !!!!

•  Teach yourself how to be grateful in different ways •  Work on building attitude of gratitude all life long •  If you want barakah in blessings…be grateful  •  You’ve got to show gratitude to people as well •   Rabbil Alameen->this should put you perspectives on things.  You

are just a tiny particle in many huge worlds, so be more humble.

13

•  First introduction of Allah •  Lateral English translation is LORD •  Classical Arabic: the one who owns, who has complete control and

authority, who ensures and takes care of something completely, who gives gifts, THE MASTER

•  Difference between worship and slave? •  Difference between slavery and service? •  Does a slave loves his master, wants to be slaved, praise his

master?

Spill over qualities…… م رح

The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

Points to Ponder:

•  We can never understand how merciful he is? •  How much do we disobey him, do we always get punshied

immediately? •  It is mentioned in a hadith that Allah (swt) divided Mercy into 100

parts and sent down only one part to this dunya. It is from this one part of His Mercy that animals show mercy to their offspring (Sahih Muslim).

•  Whosoever obeys Allah, and the Messenger, they are with those whom Allah has favored, the Prophets, the sincere, the martyrs and the righteous, and these are the best company. (4-69)

Lets understand Surah Al-Fatiha

Importance of Saying Ameen

Hadith: “When a person says

ameen the angels also say Ameen

and if his Ameen coincides with the

Ameen of the angels his previous

sins will be forgiven”(Bukahri)

Hadith Qudsi Allah SWT says, �I have divided the prayer (Al-Fatihah) between Myself and my slave equally and My slave shall be granted what he asked for.�

[Sahih Muslim]
