The Prophet ? was a leading example when showing gratitude towards the creation and the Creator. Many du'? uttered by the Prophet ? include words of gratitude to All?h and he would often pray excessively for those who carried out favours for him.

This talk starts by establishing that it is a command of All?h that we acknowledge Him and that gratitude is a manifestation of that acknowledgement. It shows how previous prophets showed gratitude and how the Prophet ? was told to follow in their footsteps. The Prophet's ? gratitude to All?h is shown by his ‘ib?dah, the wording of his du'? and his dhikr, all of which are mentioned to be connected to gratitude.

Thereafter the gratitude of the Prophet ? to the creation is mentioned, including his genuine generosity. Several examples show how the Prophet ? showed gratitude to the ?a??bah and even non-Muslims and enemies for kind actions. The talk emphasises the need to reciprocate favours of other humans, even if by making du'?' for them.

Below are some of the topics mentioned in this talk:
- Worship of All?h connected to shukr
- Du'? beginning with the praise of All?h
- The Prophet's ? habit of sleeping
- Irrational fear of poverty
- Sincere du'? for others
- The Prophet's ? du'? for others
- Gratitude towards non-Muslims
- Description of the Prophet ? in earlier scriptures
