And the Forerunners, the Forerunners. Those are the Ones Brought
Near. (Qur'an, 56:10-11)

THEY ARE THANKFUL TO ALLAH
You who believe! Eat of the good things We have provided for
you and give thanks to Allah if you worship Him alone. (Qur'an,
2:172)
We gave Luqman wisdom: 'Give thanks to Allah. Whoever gives
thanks only does so to his own good. Whoever is ungrateful, Allah
is Rich Beyond Need, Praiseworthy.' (Qur'an, 31:12)
They made for him (Sulayman) anything he wished: high arches
and statues, huge dishes like cisterns, great built-in cooking vats.
'Work, family of Dawud, in thankfulness!' But very few of My
servants are thankful. (Qur'an, 34:13)
And when your Lord announced: "If you are grateful, I will
certainly give you increase, but if you are ungrateful, My
punishment is severe."' (Qur'an, 14:7)
Descendants of those We carried with Nuh. He was a grateful
servant. (Qur'an, 17:3)
Allah brought you out of your mothers' wombs knowing nothing
at all, and gave you hearing, sight and hearts so that perhaps you
would show thanks. (Qur'an, 16:78)
Why should Allah punish you if you are thankful and believe?
Allah is All-Thankful, All-Knowing. (Qur'an, 4:147)
The two seas are not the same: the one is sweet, refreshing,
delicious to drink, the other salty, bitter to the taste. Yet from both
of them you eat fresh flesh and extract ornaments for yourselves
to wear; and you see ships on them, cleaving through the waves
so that you can seek His bounty and so that hopefully you will be
thankful. (Qur'an, 35:12)
