                  For someone who lives according
             to the teachings of the Qur'an, the
             blessings of this world





                                                             such as prop-
                                                           erty, possessions
                                           and position are only means by
                                 which to draw near and give thanks to Allah.
                              For this reason, it is never his aim to possess the
                            blessings of this world, which he knows he will only
                          enjoy for a limited time. For example, one of the most
                        enduring blessings of which a person can make use in
                       this life is a house, but it benefits a person for a couple of
                    decades of his life at most. When his life in this world comes
                  to an end, he will go away and leave the house he loved, val-
             ued and worked so hard to own throughout his life. There is no
             doubt that death marks the definite separation between an individ-
             ual and his earthly blessings.
                  A believer knows that Allah is the real Owner of the blessings
             given him and that they come only from Him. He does everything he
             can to give thanks to our Lord Who created these blessings and to
             show his appreciation and gratitude. In return for His countless bless-
             ings, he will always make every effort to give thanks by what he says
