Gratitude to God for gratis blessings

We have so many things that are allowed to be eaten, we should be careful to avoid what is not allowed by God. And we should be thankful for all divine blessings

From the bottom of my heart
I thank you God 🕋
for the honey bee🐝
for all that liquid gold
that's bought and sold
It's precious honey from its tiny womb🍯
Yes Allah bless thy crispy honeycomb.
In Holy Quran honey's described
as a liquid of healing!
So in gratitude to God
I'm bowing and kneeling .🕌

And thankyou God for bleating sheep🐏'
for their soft warming fluffy wool
or the cold makes the babies weep
as they need warm clothes when cool.

Thankyou Allah for the
Mother hen
for its sizzling omelettes and scrambled eggs🥚🥚
and for delicious tikka tandoori drumstick legs!

And God alone we should be thanking
for the calf's milk that we are sharing and taking
for milkshakes, and cakes have to be baking🍼🥛🍰

And thankyou Allah for the little silkworm🐛
Silken dresses have long been the norm

Be thankful to God for deer's musk,
and chops and steaks of venison 🦌
And for roasted lamb or brie mutton 🐐🐏🥩🍖

Gratitude to God for slippery, flippery fishes🐋🐟🐠🦈🐬
for tasty succulent seafood dishes🦐
We need the omega 3 fatty acids found in fish fillets🐠
Thank Him before frying them in pans and skillets.

Thank you God for all that's a meal
From paneer cheese to grilled calf's veal

Last but not least, thank God for the myriad fruits and vegetables 🥕 🍉🍊
He alone created for our salads, these nutritious, edible eatables


So much variety of food don't partake of the haram forbidden
lest with disease you are left ailing and bedridden!🌬🛏

So thankyou Allah for all that food 🍽🕋
If we thank Him not we're ingrates rude .

Yes, we should always be thankful of the bounty of this world. Not always does everyone reap such a reward. There are hungry people, and so, we must share our wealth with those who need it most, in order for everyone to have enough to live their lives. In a way, their success is a way to give back. As they will surely help others in turn.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Hi good morning, thanks soo much for a noble thoughtprovoking comment, indeed the main way we can be thankful to God is by sharing these blessings, that's what He constantly instructs in all divine scriptures. Cheers!

[Jibey]

Well, this is a recipe for healthy eating, a celebration of the wonderful variety of food we have, and a poem of praise to the God of the Universe. We need to praise and to give thanks, for gratitude breeds contentment and a positive attitude to others. So thank you for your poem and for your sweet and wholesome thoughts...

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Hi thanks soo much for your wholesome comment and I admire how you address Him as the God of the universe , great! Cheers and best wishes,

'Gratitude to God for gratis blessings'
S zaynab Kamoonpury,
Yes the gracious grace of joy runs all through this poem. I like how it is a happy and appreciative look at the bounty of the earth. We get to enjoy and find strength and sustenance. To know hunger is not seen here and I have to admit I thought about those who have been in this kind of poverty. I digress. Anyway a lovely write!
Blessings,
Kathy

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

My warmest thanks for your wonderful words, compassionate and lovely for all. You didn't digress dear. Take care.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Warm wishes to you as well. Remember to keep looking for the glory. It's all around.
Kathy

[Dave]

Indeed - you show us all how much we have to be thankful for. I love the way you played with your words in writing this. Thank you for sharing - Dave

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Hey poet Dave, I'm glad you noticed the play on words, this was meant to be light and to lighten these heavy hard times. Thanks soo much for your super comment!!

[Dave]

It was a pleasure.
Take care - Dave

Your poem, despite being written from a Muslim point of view, it's not much different than the way a Christian might pray with thankfulness & probably other religions, too. But at the same time you teach us a few things about your religion, not like you want to convert people, but just to show us what your daily practice is like & showing how we all have common thoughts & practices. Great details & fun playfulness (wordplay like "slippery, flippery fishes") & very upbeat about life in general, as shown thru the things this narrator is thankful for. (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Dearest barleygir like, love that name always, this isn't actually just Muslim, or Muslim point of view, this is just a general thanksgiving poem for people of all religions, Allah is the Arabic name for God even in the Arabic bible and it's very similar usage is there in the Aramaic and Hebrew bible as well with a difference of a letter merely. So the gratitude is common to all religions eps the three that we believe were from God such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam .
I'm glad you noticed the playful lightness of this poem as that was also my intention.
Take care and enjoy divine bounties pal.

[Lydia Shutter]

Such a lovely write of thanksgiving. Your spirituality shines throughout your poem. Lydi*

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Yes thanksgiving it is then, warmest thanks for giving me the word, take it as an early thanksgiving. My warmest thanks again for your nice lovely comment!

[emmajoy]

Your wonderfully grateful words call out from such a trembling world. We should remember what most of us have... but also, remember those who have far less, my friend. Your poem - each every word is truly giving, thank you for letting me read and share. Em

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

My warmest thanks dear for such a lofty noble golden hearted comment, yes we should thank God by thinking of the have nots. Take care dear.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Zaynab... a lovely thanksgiving poem
and I concur we have so much to be thankful.
With 🙏 prayers and gratitude. tenderly, Pat

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Why yes dearest pat, thanksgiving is the word, warmest thanks for your sweet lovely acknowledgement of gratitude to God.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

And do take care.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ok now I am hungry. A nice tribute to 'man's' good fortune under any god and nicely laid out in a tribute to your religion.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Hungry eh, why that was my intention poet, this is not just about my religion though, it's a universal gratitude to the one same God that people address with different names that's all. Thanks soo much for your nice cool comment. Cheers, welcome to eastern tandoori.

[Dave Brown]

Nicely done
I'd say he's been a busy fella and the food he's done tastes especially swella
let's hope he keeps it up
that we can forever sup
and if I can get his attention
there is another mention
I'd like to see him flirt
with at least one more desert

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Heya he he thanks for a whacky comment lol, though I'm not sure who you mean by 'he' exactly. Had me chuckling, flirt a desert, figuratively you mean how, it evades me.

[Dave Brown]

don't look for sense, it rarely exists

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Noh it does make sense in a fun funny way but it's too high English humour that I can't be sure if I got you right.

[Dave Brown]

Sorry
To flirt with one more desert just means I mostly prefer deserts and I wouldn't mind thanking the 'Big Fella' however he is being referred to, for inventing a few more extra tasty deserts
Your English is very good and as you are probably aware, If you keep asking pertinent questions such as this it soon have me coming to you for explanations of how English language is being used

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Hey thanks a bunch for the explanation, guess I was right about that you meant the a Big fellar ' but I hadn't got that you like deserts but then you word play with desserts, so your English obviously is too high for me , but it's entertaining me whatever you said sirree.

[Dave Brown]

( dude )

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

I'm a dudette, an unconventional unprofessional poetess by the way.

[Dave Brown]

( oops! ) dudette it is!

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

No probs..

[Dave Brown]

I forgot to add that I now further understand your comment abt. not having used Brylcreem
Definitely uncool!!
