There are very few things in life that have the power to encourage, inspire, and provide peace of mind and bring happiness all at the same time. Being thankful is one of those things. The definition of thankfulness is being able to have a certain degree of appreciation for a certain thing, place, or person. Appreciation is the main aspect of being thankful. To me, thankfulness means that a person has realized the true value of something and is willing to do something to prove it People has different ways to express their thanks to each other  .Some of them buy gifts, inviting for meals or barbecue ..etc. But if we want to express our thanks to Allah we can do that by paying charity and obeying him and getting rid of what he told us not to do.

Whatever your situation, there are many benefits to cultivating thankfulness in your life. First of all being thankful make your mind to focus on good side of any problem or any bad events may happened in your life. For instance , suppose you take your family to picnic .After that ,you return to your house and find it burned . Thanks Allah because of many things .First of all Allah deserve thankfulness all time .Because he has enormous number of blessings each second he give it to you. Secondly, thanks Allah because he saves your family members and you are still ok. You see how much wonderful to look at positive side in any problem . When you are taking the time to give thanks you are naturally focusing on the good things in life.

The second benefit is making you enjoying the moment of sadness because you will look at other side of life. I know people when they face problem, he gets rid of most good habits he has before .For instance he get rid of brushing his teeth, making sport exercise, wearing clean clothes and reading books..etc. But thankfulness make you not to forget other sides in your life. So if you lose something in your life ,it reminds you not to lose all things you still have .

The third benefit is providing hope for the future. A person who thanks Allah always believe good in Allah. So you will find him have a great hope in future because he thinks that Allah will help because I trust him.

The fourth benefit is reducing stress during the time of a problem. So you protect your heart, blood and body from being illness. A lot of people getting tired and sick of problems but, people who are thankfulness don’t face such problems like these because ,they always thank Allah. The fifth benefit is reminds you to be happy now. Believe it or not one of the ( Tabeen) his name (Alfozail Ibn Ayaz) when people tell him that his son died .he smile at the same time of sadness. ( Why?) because he knows he doesn’t have his son Allah gives him for a limited time then he takes it back to him. You see because he realized that he has nothing . So he thanks Allah  his only (God).At the end, I would like to say that all people are sad but people who are thankful to Allah
