In order to express gratitude, even if gratitude were to be determined, the deception would be removed, and there would be no effort, and there would be no virtue. Whoever gives thanks is deception. Therefore, God associated increase with gratitude because of deception in it, so He entrusted it with the increase, and He addressed that to His servants. He said, “If you are grateful, I will certainly increase you. And if you disbelieve, then indeed My punishment is severe.” And He did not say, “I will diminish you, so give thanks for more for the sake of truth and servants.” If the servant gives thanks for the truth, his work increases, and if the servant gives thanks, the truth increases him beyond his hopes, according to the words of God, addressing His servants, for those who do good, goodness and an increase, which is the reward for gratitude, so do not feel safe from deception.
