Hadhrat Ma’roof Karkhi

“To always be grateful (to Allah) even if nothing is given. (That is, even if it appears that your supplications are not answered, to be grateful for all the bounties which Allah Ta’ala has bestowed and which He continues to bestow to you. However, man takes for granted all the ni’maat he continuously receives from Allah Ta’ala without asking for these, hence does not perceive what he is acquiring every minute of his life.)”
