Gratitude, proper utilization, and helping others are fundamental principles for the correct use of blessings in the Quran.
The Holy Quran emphasizes the proper use of the blessings of this world. The first important point in this regard is gratitude. In Surah Ibrahim, verse 7, Allah says: 'And remember when your Lord proclaimed: If you give thanks, I will surely increase your favor; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.' This means that if you express gratitude, your blessings will be multiplied. Gratitude provides a sense of satisfaction and peace to a person, guiding them towards the proper utilization of blessings. The second point is the manner of usage of these blessings. The Quran stresses that individuals should use their blessings in ways that do not harm themselves or others. In Surah Al-An'am, verse 141, Allah says: 'And when Allah took the covenant from those who were given the Scripture, 'You must make it clear to the people and not conceal it.' This indicates that people should act sincerely in their usage of blessings and be accountable for their actions. The third point is generosity and helping others. The Quran repeatedly stresses the importance of aiding the needy, charity, and benevolence. In Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 267, Allah advises the believers: 'O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned...' Thus, the proper use of blessings not only entails their application in personal life but also extending assistance to others to build a strong and successful community.
And remember when your Lord proclaimed: If you give thanks, I will surely increase your favor; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.
And when Allah took the covenant from those who were given the Scripture, 'You must make it clear to the people and not conceal it.'
O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned...
One day, a young man named Amir was sitting in the city square, pondering the blessings that Allah had bestowed upon him. He understood the importance of gratitude and decided to use his blessings to help the needy. By gathering food and clothing, he visited the homes of the underprivileged, demonstrating his compassion and goodwill. Consequently, not only did his blessings multiply, but he also found greater satisfaction in his own state.
