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
