Thank Allah in times of prosperity
In good times, we tend to take Allah’s blessings for granted, and not thank Him enough. It is important to express sincere gratitude to Him for all that we possess, through both words and deeds. Dawud (AS) and Sulayman (AS) were exceedingly thankful, and used to say, 'Praise be to Allah, who has favoured us over many of His believing servants.' (27:15) When Sulayman (AS) was able to decipher the speech of the ant, he instantaneously smiled and thanked Allah for His favours upon him and his parents. Similarly, when the throne of the Queen of Saba was brought to him, he immediately expressed gratitude to Allah for the favour.
