Thankfulness means to express one's thanks and love to Allah for all of the gifts He gives, to declare that all we have comes from Him. Careful reflection reveals that Allah's gifts are countless and that we receive them due to His grace. For example, the fact that each of the 100 trillion or so cells in your body works for you continuously and without fail is only a small fraction of His gifts. Believers are thankful to Allah regardless of their circumstances, whereas being thankful does not even occur to unbelievers. The Qur'an requires that believers be thankful, which it considers a form of worship, and tells them to adopt this attitude wholeheartedly, as the following verses indicate:
No! Worship Allah and be among the thankful. (Qur'an, 39:66) So eat from what Allah has provided for you, lawful and good, and be thankful for the blessing of Allah, if it is Him you worship. (Qur'an, 16:114) The Qur'an also states that thankful believers will receive more rewards, whereas ungrateful unbelievers will deserve His fierce punishment. [Moses said to his people:] "And when your Lord announced: 'If you are grateful, I will certainly give you increase. But if you are ungrateful, My punishment is severe.'" (Qur'an, 14:7)
