66بَلِ اللَّهَ فَاعبُد وَكُن مِنَ الشّاكِرينَAli UnalRather: worship God alone, and be among the thankful.”1Whatever we have is a favor from God, so true humanity requires being always thankful to Him. One’s humanity lies in thankfulness for any good one receives, and acknowledgment of one’s defects, failures, errors, and sins, and being repentant of them, trying to improve oneself. In Qur’ānic terminology, unbelief and thanklessness are derived from the same root word. So thanklessness leads to unbelief, while thankfulness gives rise to belief.
