Summary of Sunni concepts
Religious blessings and worldly blessings
Religious blessings are greater and more honorable than worldly blessings
Rather, they are true blessings that last and their effect lasts even if others are removed
Therefore, whoever has been blessed with religious knowledge, such as legal knowledge or good deeds, should do so
To thank God for that to increase His grace
And let the self-admiration that might frustrate his work be driven away from him
God commanded us to thank Him after explaining the religious blessings He bestowed upon us
After He forbade us by the Almighty’s saying
Just as We sent among you a messenger from among you who recites to you Our revelations
He will purify you and teach you the Book and wisdom
And He teaches you what you did not know
He said, “So remember Me, I will remember you, and be grateful to Me, and do not disbelieve.”
