So Solomon smiled in amusement at her words, and prayed, “My Lord! Inspire me to ˹always˺ be thankful for Your favours which You have blessed me and my parents with, and to do good deeds that please you. Admit me, by Your mercy, into ˹the company of˺ Your righteous servants.”

Wisdom (ḥikmah) is a lofty bestowal from God, and the Qur’an is deliberate in singling out Luqmān for it. In Sūrah Luqmān, wisdom is immediately tied to gratitude, revealing that ḥikmah is the inner light that enables a person to recognize, appreciate, and properly use God’s blessings. Without wisdom, blessings may be possessed yet remain spiritually wasted.

We know that Suleiman AS was a prophet and king. His royal status did not deter him from appreciating the many bounties Allah had given to him. Some of the features of his kingdom included controlling the wind which meant he could transport anything from anywhere taking it far distances within seconds. He was given the ability to arrange an army of different species, including elephants and birds -all of which were subdued to serve him and the k...

When I first learned about Süleyman عليه السلام, I was deeply moved by how he praised Allah سبحانه وتعالى. And when I read that Allah praised him as His thankful servant, I felt a longing in my heart. I found myself yearning to reach that level of gratitude. I remember clearly crying and begging Allah, asking, 'Where is my ability to thank You? Do You accept my gratitude as well? I want to be among the most thankful servants.'

Empathy, compassion, soft-heartedness and generosity are the molecular building blocks to our existence.
In a culture that celebrates busy-ness, excess, and extroversion as measures of a good life, these qualities are most often overlooked, if not neglected. However these traits are vital, in order to thrive.
We have become a self-obsessed nation, our phones and devices creating an empathy gap; we live in our own little bubble, making it easier...

These verses remind me of how ungrateful I am. How can I complain about anything?
Had Allah willed, I could have been blinded, struggling to see my way. How could I possibly restore my vision if Allah took it away from me?
'Had We willed, We could have easily blinded their eyes, so they would struggle to find their way. How then could they see?' (36:66)
Had Allah willed, I could have been paralyzed - unable to move back and forth as I wish.

Prophet Sulayman ﷺ was given so much by Allah yet this didn’t turn or harden his heart. The more he was given, the more grateful he ﷺ became.
He ﷺ was a leader who had incredibly strong emotional intelligence and voiced thankfulness and praise to Allah for being able to have these precious feels of gratitude running through his mind, heart and soul.
This is the same Prophet ﷺ who asked Allah to fill his heart with even more gratitude. So many...

Dua of Prophet Suleman a.s, truly captured my attention and made me reflect deeply on the sequence of things he asked ALLAH s.w.t for.
In this duaa, Suleman a.s first asked ALLAH to enable him to be grateful for the blessings He had bestowed upon him and his parents, Dawud a.s i.e.:
رَبِّ اَوۡزِعۡنِىۡۤ اَنۡ اَشۡكُرَ نِعۡمَتَكَ الَّتِىۡۤ اَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلٰى وَالِدَىَّ...

As I saw a road sign saying, “Slow down, residential area ahead”, I am reminded of the ant in Surah An-Naml, verses 18–19.
When Prophet Sulaiman (AS) and his mighty army approached the valley of ants, one ant called out to the others:
"And when they came across a valley of ants, an ant warned, “O ants! Go quickly into your homes so Solomon and his armies do not crush you, unknowingly.”
(Qur’an 27:18)

Sometimes the smallest creatures carry the loudest lessons.
The earth holds them quietly: ants, birds, bees. each living by laws we rarely notice, each a sign of the One who made them.
Ants are among the tiniest creatures visible to our eyes. We can unknowingly step on one without even realizing.
This verse I am talking about never ceases to humble me.
Because to me, it isn't just a story of Prophet Sulaiman's gift. It is a reminder of Divine...
