Duas for Gratitude

The Beauty of Shukr (Gratitude)

Gratitude is a cornerstone of faith. When we acknowledge and give thanks for the blessings in our lives—both big and small—our hearts find peace and our blessings are increased. Allah promises in the Qur'an: **"If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]."** (Surah Ibrahim, 14:7).
