The proper way to thank Allah

If a Muslim receives a bounty or is rescued from some trial, it is recommended for him or her to perform the prostration of thankfulness. Abu Bakrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reports that: “When the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam received something which pleased him or glad tidings, he would make prostration in thanks to Allah.” (Abu Dawood, no. 2774;. It is saheeh, and was also reported in Mishkaat al-Masaabeeh, no. 1494).

Ritual purity (tahaarah), wudoo and facing the qiblah is not a requirement to make the prostration of thankfulness, however, if one makes wudoo’ and faces the qiblah, that is preferred.(Majmoo‘ Fataawa by Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 4/216)📚

May Allah aid us to show this kind of gratitude to Him always for His countless mercies on us. Aameen.
