Thankfulness

God did not need to give us such provisions as food, water, and fire. We overlook these essential blessings every moment in our lives, and God knowing our tendencies to forget uses these verses in Surah Al-Waqia to refocus our attention on Him through His signs. 

God is constantly showing us his blessings and we are asked to reflect on them. The sun, the moon, the changing of the day and night, the air we breathe, and the water we drink.

According to Islam, one of our foremost duties is to be grateful to God for all of His blessings
