Opportunities That Are Not to Be Missed
The shaikh, Dr. Muḥammad ibn Ghālib Al-ʿUmarī, may Allāh protect him, said:
Were [a person] to grab a hold of the opportunity, when good things come to him [or] are made easy for him, to show Allāh gratitude for them, just as he eagerly grabs a hold of worldly opportunities, he’d be [counted] among the ranks of the grateful ones.
For how many a good thing has gone away when we [failed to] know its worth and we [failed to] show our Lord gratitude for [having been given] it.
{وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ ۖ وَلَئِنْ كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِي لَشَدِيدٌ}
And [recount] when your Lord announced: if you show gratitude [for the good things He has given you], He will most certainly increase you [in His bounties], [but] if you were to show ingratitude [for His favors], indeed My punishment is most certainly severe. (Ibrāhīm 7)

لو يحرص البعض على انتهاز حصوله على النّعم وتيسيرها له بشكر الله عليها، كحرصه على انتهاز الفرص الدنيوية، لكان في مراتب الشاكرين.
فكم من نعمة ذهبت حين لم نعرف قدرها، ولم نقم بشكر ربنا عليها.
