Page 261 - A Call For Unity

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

No! Worship Allah and be among the thankful. (Surat
Az-Zumar: 66)
So eat from what Allah has provided for you, lawful and
good, and be thankful for the blessing of Allah, if it is
Him you worship. (Surat An-Nahl: 114)
In the Qur'an Allah states that thankful believers will re-
ceive more rewards, whereas ungrateful unbelievers will de-
serve His fierce punishment.

[Moses said to his people: ] "And when your Lord an-
nounced: 'If you are grateful, I will certainly give you in-
crease. But if you are ungrateful, My punishment is se-
vere.'" (Surah Ibrahim: 7)
The Gospel says; give thanks in all circumstances (1
Thessalonians, 5: 18), and passages dealing with Jesus' (pbuh)
life reveal that he thanked Allah for all things. All believers
should follow his example.

"How many loaves do you have?" Jesus asked. "Seven," they
replied, "and a few small fish." He told the crowd to sit down on
the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and when
he had given thanks, he broke them and gave them to the disciples,
and they in turn to the people. all ate and were satisfied.
