Allah says:
If you are grateful, then I will increase (blessings) on you.[30]
[28]. Qur’ān (Āl-i-‘Imrān) 3:103.
[29]. Qur’ān (an-Nahl) 16:18.
[30]. Qur’ān (Ibrāhīm) 14:7.
And remember Allah’s
that blessing on you. When you were (each other’s) enemies but He created love
in your hearts and you became brothers on account of His blessing.[28]
And another occasion, He says:
And if you wish to
count Allah’s blessings, you won’t be able to count them completely. Surely,
Allah is infinitely Forgiving, extremely Merciful.[29]
You should remember
Allah’s blessings and after remembering these blessings seek His forgiveness and
you will find Him infinitely Forgiving. The Qur’ānic verse elucidates the fact
that the remembrance of Allah’s blessings activates His attribute of mercy. A
prayer, therefore, which is based on recalling His blessings and His kindness,
can serve as an agent of intermediation by offering itself as the petitioner’s
expression of gratitude for the inexhaustible kindnesses of the Lord and is
finally granted by Him. The Qur’ān itself bears witness to its effectiveness:If you are grateful, then I will increase (blessings) on you.[30]
