Gratitude is more than uttering “al-ḥamdu lillāh.” It also calls for using blessings responsibly and treating people fairly.
1. Use good health for beneficial purposes.
2. Fulfill the rights of others when receiving income.
3. Respond to hardship with lawful effort, patience, and prayer.
4. Help people facing difficulties.
In يَحْمَدُونَ اللَّهَ, the verb is يَحْمَدُونَ; its plural wāw marks the subject, while اللَّهَ is the direct object: “they praise Allah.”
