Alhamdulillah: 100 blessings to thank Allah for everyday

You have probably experienced a situation where somebody told you to "stop complaining, and be thankful to Allah" -- and you were left wondering what to thank God for?

Most of us live our life with a never-ending appetite for more, an entitled and competitive mindset that we start taking God's existing blessings upon us for granted.

The fact is, we are not entitled to anything. Everything we have is gifted by God. If Allah took His blessings away from humans, none of us would be able to get them back through our own power and striving. So now is the best time to commit to thanking the Most Generous Lord for His favors upon us.

Here's a list of some of the key blessings, relief and favors from Allah that we benefit from on a continuous basis. As you read through the list, focus on each blessing for a few seconds, think about why you are thankful for it, how your life would be if God took it away from you, and then feel sincere thankfulness and silently say Alhamdulillah to express your shukr to Him for that blessing. 

1.  Waking up today and & being alive : There are tens of thousands of people who didn't wake up today. And at this very moment, many people are taking their final breaths on this planet. Their chance to correct themselves, achieve their goals, thank God and seek forgiveness has ended. I am alive and I thank Allah for this.
2.  Good Health : Without good health, I wouldn't be able to live a normal life. A disease-filled life is hard. Be thankful.
   
3.  Food on the table : There are many people who don't even have access to proper food
