4 Prophetic duas to become thankful to Allah

When we express sincere and heartfelt gratitude to Allah for His countless blessings upon us, we open ourselves to receiving more of His blessings and mercy. 

In the Quran, God says: 

"If you are grateful, I will increase you" [Surah Ibrahim 7]

Allah has encouraged believers to consciously choose to give thanks to Him for His endless blessings and fadl on His creation.  

"And it is He Who has made the night and the day, each following the other, for he who desires to remember or desire gratitude." [Surah Furqan 62]

The above-mentioned Quran verse tells us that Allah wants us to nurture gratitude by becoming conscious of His favors upon us and express it through our heart and tongue as well. 

So what can be better than a supplication taught by Allah and His Messenger SAW? Here are four duas from the Quran and Hadiths. 

1)

Transliteration:

Allahumma a'inni ala zikrika, wa shukrika, wa husni ibadatik

2) 

Transliteration:

Allahummaj-alni oo-az'zimu shukraka wa uksiru zikraka wa att-tabi-oo nasihataka wa ahfazu wasi-yatak [tirmidhi 3604c, Book 48, Hadith 237]

3) 

Transliteration:

Allahumma inni as'aluka at-thabaata fil amri wal azeemati alar-rushdi wa as'aluka shukra ni'matik 

4) Prophet Sulaiman prayer for thankfulness

Transliteration:

Rabbi auzi'ni an ashkura ni'matakal-lati an'amta alayya wa-ala walidayya

Becoming thankful to Allah is something Prophets AS sought and we should also strive to develop an attitude of gratitude. The Quran is clear about those who become grateful to God for His blessings and those who show ingratitude.
