Subject: [IslamCity] ALWAYS BE
GRATEFUL
ALWAYS BE
GRATEFUL
When God
loves people He afflicts them. If they endure with fortitude, He chooses them.
If they are grateful,
He elects them. Some men and women are grateful to God for His wrathfulness
and some for His graciousness. Both are good, for gratitude is the antidote
for all occasions, changing wrath into grace. The wise and complete servant is
grateful for harsh treatment, both publicly and in private, for with the voice
of gratitude comes the inspiration to give more.
It is related that a certain Jew lived next door to
one of the Companions. This Jew lived in an upper room, from which all kinds
of dirt and filth, the piddle of his children, the water his clothes were
washed in, fell into the Muslim�s apartment below. Yet the Muslim always
thanked the Jew, and instructed his family to do the same. For eight years
this continued, until the Muslim died. Then the Jew, while visiting the
Muslim�s apartment, to condole with the family, saw all the filth and how it
came from his upper room. He realized what had happened during the past years,
and was filled with sorrow. He said to the Muslim�s household, �Why on earth
didn�t you tell me? Why did you always thank me?� They replied, �Our father
told us to always be grateful, and chided us if we ever gave up being
grateful.� So the Jew became a believer.

(mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e.

{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord

Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous
deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The
prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah
guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels."
[al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be
upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward
similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either
of them being lessened at all."
