Assalamu Aleykum Parents and Carers.
Our value for Summer I is Gratitude. Please have conversations with your children why this Vitamin is so important ! I have shared some ayahs and hadith .
1. Surah Ibrahim (14:7)
وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ وَلَئِن كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِي لَشَدِيدٌ
And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed: “If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.”
2. Surah Luqman (31:12)
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا لُقْمَانَ الْحِكْمَةَ أَنِ اشْكُرْ لِلَّهِ ۚ وَمَن يَشْكُرْ فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهِ ۖ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ حَمِيدٌ
And We certainly gave Luqman wisdom [and said], “Be grateful to Allah.” And whoever is grateful is grateful for [the benefit of] himself. And whoever denies [His favor] – then indeed, Allah is Free of need and Praiseworthy.
3. Surah Al-Baqarah (2:152)
فَاذْكُرُونِي أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا لِي وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ
So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.
4. Surah An-Nahl (16:114)
فَكُلُوا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا ۠ وَاشْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ
So eat of what Allah has provided for you [which is] lawful and good. And be grateful for the favor of Allah, if it is [indeed] Him that you worship.
Surah Al-Insan (76:3)
إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا
Indeed, We guided him to the way, be he grateful or ungrateful
Hadith 1 – Gratitude to People:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
“He who does not thank people, does not thank Allah.”
— Tirmidhi
This hadith teaches that showing gratitude to others is part of being grateful to Allah.
Hadith 2 – Contentment and Gratitude:
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
“Look at those below you and do not look at those above you, for this is more likely to make you not belittle the favors Allah has bestowed upon you.”
— Bukhari and Muslim
This reminds us to appreciate what we have, instead of constantly desiring what others possess.
