<b>Gifts From Allah
</b>
Wen was the first time we praised Allah for blessing us with two arms for lifting, and embracing our loved onse, two legs that take us where we want to go, two eyes so that we are able to see the wonders of Allah's creation, two ears to hear the sweet sound of our children's first words, a nose to smell the sweet fragrances that surround us, a fully functioning, healthy body with capabilities that are limitless.
<span>What about the gifts bestowed upon us by Allah SWT, do we thank him each time we wake up in the morning for blessing us with a brand new day, do we thank him for the food that is laid before us at breakfast, lunch and dinner. where is the gratitude for the roof we have over our heads or the cloths on our backs.</span>
<b>These are the gifts that are taken for granted and never appreciated for the wonders that they are.
</b>
<span>Aks the childless widow what is means to have loved onse by your side.Ask the leper the value of five fingers</span>
Ask the man in the wheelchair the value of walking
Ask the child who was born deaf, what it would mean to be able to hear
Ask the Women who longs to speak yet cannot, what the value of speech is, and watch as tears roll down her cheeks.
<span>Aks the mujahid who suffered the loss of his arms, what it means to be able to hold up his arms in prayer.</span>
Ask the sinner at the hour of death, what it would mean to have just one more day.
Ask the man imprisoned for life, what it means to be free.
<b>Do not take advantage of gifts that Allah SWT has blessed us with, they can be taken away at any given moment.
