How can one become grateful to Allah?

The first thing that we need to do to become grateful to Allah is to recognize His mercy and blessings in our lives. This has to be the most basic characteristic of our personalities. When a believer recognizes what Allah has done for him in his life, he ought to be grateful to Allah. We love our mother and father because of what they did for us. The mother having done even more than the father in terms of sacrifices, we are required to commit ourselves to her care. She deserves our companionship more than our fathers because of her sacrifices. And no matter what we do, we cannot compensate even for a single contraction that she bore to give birth to us. That’s the reality. And for sure Allah has given us much more and deserves much more gratitude from us.
