Developing Gratitude Consciousness and the Ritual of Praise (Hamd)

This ritual is recited to become aware of the blessings we possess and to fill our hearts with gratitude. By making a sincere intention and reciting the designated supplication, you can focus on comprehending the favors of your Lord.

Intention for Gratitude and Mindfulness

Close your eyes, feel that every breath you take is a favor, and make the intention:

"O Allah; I am reciting this supplication so that I may become aware of the countless blessings You have bestowed upon me, fill my heart with gratitude, and be a servant worthy of You. Open my eyes and heart to see Your favors, and occupy my tongue with Your praise (hamd). Protect me from ungratefulness toward Your blessings, and include me among Your grateful servants."

Surah An-Naml, Verse 19

رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ

Closing with Praise

"O Lord; for every blessing You have given, for every breath I take, endless thanks and praise be to You. Accept my praise, enrich my heart with gratitude. Amin."
