Thanksgiving is a holiday that people celebrate in America by inviting friends and family for parties.
It is good to be grateful. In the Holy Qur’an it says “If you are grateful, I will surely bestow more favors on you” (14:8). The Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him) said “One who is not grateful to others is not grateful to God”.
I want to thank God for creating us and giving us food, life, parents, and family. I want to thank my teachers for teaching me good things. I thank God for toys and clothes and all the stuff I have. I thank God for giving me the Qur’an to read and for making me a good Ahmadi Muslim.
I am also thankful to the spiritual leader of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad for travelling all the way from UK and listening to me read the Holy Qur’an in Qur’an completion ceremony held on October 29th. I loved it specially sitting next to him and reciting the Holy Book.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
