Dua for Gratitude from the Quran:

رَبِّ اَوۡزِعۡنِىۡۤ اَنۡ اَشۡكُرَ نِعۡمَتَكَ الَّتِىۡۤ اَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلٰى وَالِدَىَّ وَاَنۡ اَعۡمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرۡضٰٮهُ وَاَصۡلِحۡ لِىۡ فِىۡ ذُرِّيَّتِىۡ ؕۚ اِنِّىۡ تُبۡتُ اِلَيۡكَ وَاِنِّىۡ مِنَ الۡمُسۡلِمِيۡنَ

Rabbi awziʿni an ashkura niʿmatakal-lati anʿamta ʿalayya wa ʿala walidayya wa an aʿmala salihan tardah, wa aslih li fi dhuriyyati, inni tubtu ilayka wa inni minal-muslimin.

Translation:

“My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to work the righteousness of which You will approve and make righteous for me my offspring. Indeed, I have repented to You, and indeed, I am of the Muslims.”

Surah Al-Ahqaf 46:15

Dua for Gratitude from Hadith:

اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّيْ عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ

Allahumma A’inni Ala Zikrika Wa Shukrika Wa Husni Ibadatika.

Translation:

O Allah, help me remember You, to be grateful to You, and to worship You excellently.

Mu’adh b. Jabal reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) caught his hand and said:

“By Allah, I love you, Mu’adh. I give you some advice. Never leave to recite this supplication after every (prescribed) prayer: ‘O Allah, help me in remembering You, in giving You thanks, and worshipping You well.’”

How can I express my gratitude to Allah?

Gratitude towards Allah can indeed be expressed in meaningful and consistent ways. Here’s how to nurture that gratitude:

  1. Always say “Alhamdulillah”: Whenever you notice a blessing, big or small, praise Allah.
  2. Prostrate in thanks: Performing Sujud al-Shukr (prostration of thankfulness) acknowledges His blessings.
  3. Reflect on His blessings: Regularly take time to contemplate all the good in your life.
  4. Thank Allah for your health, wealth, and well-being: Recognize these as His gifts.
  5. Be content at heart: Cultivate satisfaction and contentment with what you have.

Integrate these practices into daily life and watch how your perspective and gratitude deepen
