*Gratitude in the Shadow of Gaza* Imām Ibn al-Qayyim said: _"Shukr is to display the effects of the blessings of Allāh upon the tongue by way of praise and acknowledgement; in the heart by way of witnessing and love; and upon the limbs by way of submission and obedience."_ See Madārij as-Sālikīn [2/246] *Reflections:* ❖ Every meal we eat say Alhamdulillāh. Not out of habit, but from the depths of our heart. In Gaza, families face hunger that doesn’t end. ❖ Be grateful for the privilege of choice. Meat or chicken, eat-in or takeout, these aren’t rights. These are luxuries. In Gaza, they ask not what to eat, but if they will eat. ❖ Thank Allāh for the safety of our homes and the silence of our nights. Parents in Gaza cover their children with their own bodies, shielding them from falling bombs day and night. ❖ Never take ease for granted. What we enjoy in seconds is what a child in Gaza is begging Allāh for in terror, in the dark. 🖊️ Abū Ismā’īl https://t.me/abuismailnotes
