Causes and Continuation of Bounty
Fear of Allah “And if the people of those towns had believed and been righteous,
We would have surely opened for them blessings from heaven and earth”, permanent
gratitude, fairness and charity, economy and satisfaction, giving out bounties,
generosity, meeting the needs of other people, resort to Allah in good faith,
showing of bounties and talking about them (the one who talks about bounties is
named the friend of Allah).
Causes of Loss of Bounties
Extravagance and wastefulness, misery, shed of blood without good reasons,
continuation of oppression, committing of sins, the one who is disobedient to
Allah, sins.
The Bounties of Allah are Legion
Nobody is deprived of the bounties of Allah which are plenty and innumerable,
therefore frequent praise, glorification, exaltation, sanctification, gratitude
and remembrance are a must (whenever one remembers a bounty he must say: “praise
be to Allah, glorified is Allah” and no one is deprived for a moment of the
bounties of Allah).
Bounties Are not Just Money
Some of the bounties are Islam, belief in the unity of Allah and health,
familiarity between the individuals of the nation.
