Al-Baqarah 2:152

فَٱذْكُرُونِىٓ أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِى وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ

Fathkuroonee athkurkumwashkuroo lee wala takfuroon

So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.

Remembrance is a door that opens from both sides, the more we knock, the more it's held open for us.

Today's hadith · gratitude

Sahih Muslim 2734

Allah is pleased when you praise Him for a meal

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَرْضَى عَنِ الْعَبْدِ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ الْأَكْلَةَ فَيَحْمَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا، أَوْ يَشْرَبَ الشَّرْبَةَ فَيَحْمَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا

Inna-llaha la-yarda 'ani-l-'abdi an ya'kula-l-aklata fa-yahmadahu 'alayha, aw yashraba-sh-sharbata fa-yahmadahu 'alayha.

Allah is pleased with the servant who eats a meal and praises Him for it, or drinks a drink and praises Him for it.

Narrated by Anas ibn Malik.
