Know, may God help you, that gratitude means praising God for what comes from Him, specifically because of an attribute He has in terms of what He is thankful for, and among His names are Shukur and Shaker. He said, “If you are grateful, I will certainly give you more.” It is an attribute that requires an increase from the thanked to the thankful, and it is obligatory by agreement, rationally according to one group and legally according to another group. Giving thanks to a blessing is obligatory according to reason and law. We do not call God Almighty “thankful” for us except to increase the work He has given us, to thank us for it so that we may increase it, just as He increases a blessing for us if we thank Him for His blessings and blessings, and gratitude is not valid except for blessings .
