The 7 Wonders of the World

Assalaamu alaikum [peace be to you]

I read this story in this blog [link] and wanted to make it into a short manga.
READ FROM RIGHT TO LEFT



Allah[God] has created us in the best of moulds. He granted us the five senses and the organs which enables us to move in all places, and enables us to enjoy the goodness and the beauty of the universe. Allah has granted us many favors, provided us with plenty of good things, and provided us with blessed means of living which protect our bodies, and preserves our lives. Allah says in the holy Quran:
وَآتَاكُم مِّن كُلِّ مَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُ ۚ وَإِن تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَا ۗ إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَظَلُومٌ كَفَّارٌ
"And He gave you from all you asked of Him. and if you count the Blessings of Allah, never will you be able to count them. Indeed, man is most unjust and ungrateful."
^{[translation of verse 14:34]}

These favours should make us thankful to the granter, and Allah has commanded us to be thankful to him. He said in the holy Quran:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُلُوا مِن طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا لِلَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ
"O you who believe! Eat of the lawful things that We have provided you with, and be grateful to Allah, if it is indeed He Whom you worship."
^{[translation of verse 2:172]}


Thank Allah for the favors given to us, and they will be increased. When we don't thank Allah for the favors given to us, they may be removed or in some cases they may not be taken away from us, but their effects is reversed. That is why we see many people with abundance of so-called blessings, but their effect is reversed so they are never happy or content and sometimes have the worst of problems.


We can thank Allah in many ways. These include:
prostrating to him, when we receive a blessing from Allah or when Allah saves us from a disaster. The Messenger of Allah -peace be upon him- used to prostrate to Allah whenever he received a pleasant thing or was told good news. he said:
"It is a fine thing when a believer praises and thanks Allah if good comes to him, and praises Allah and shows endurance if smitten by affliction. The believer is rewarded for everything, even for the morsel he raises to his wife's mouth."

Talking about the benefits Allah has granted us. This is because concealing the benefits of Allah is ungrateful.
denying the favors of Allah means hiding his favors and/or relating them to others than Allah.

Helping people in need, It was mentioned in a Hadith of Prophet Mohammed -peace be upon him- that:
"As the favors from Allah to a servant increase, so will the people's needs of that blessed servant's services. If the servant ignores their needs, it will cause those favors to be removed"


There is only one course open to us and that is to give thanks to Allah for all the blessings he gave us. even though that "thanks" itself is a further blessing, for as Allah Himself says, "If you are thankful I will give you increase."
So our giving thanks itself is a means to greater reward. The question is how can we possibly thank Allah for all this. One answer is that it is quite impossible!

the great gift of guidance is, on its own, a treasure beyond estimation; and if we add to it our existence itself, and the generous provision with which it is sustained, and the blessing of our families and companions, and the overwhelming beauty of the world and universe which we inhabit, and all the innumerable other blessings with which our lives are unceasingly filled minute by minute, we can only repeat the verse in Allah's Book:
"... and if you count the Blessings of Allah, never will you be able to count them..."


I ask Allah[God] Almighty to fill our hearts with the reality of thankfulness to Him accompanied by the words and actions that flow from it.
O Allah[God] assist us in remembering You and thanking You and worshipping You in the best way!
