The second degree of gratitude is that which is mustahabb, which is when, after doing obligatory actions and avoiding haraam things, aperson does supererogatory acts of worship. This is the degree of those who havegone ahead and closer to Allaah.
Jaami’ al-‘Uloom wa’l-Hukam (p. 245, 246)
Summary:
In order to be grateful to your Lord for the blessings that He has bestowed upon you, you must acknowledge in your heart that the giver of these blessings and thebestower is Allaah, may He be exalted, so you venerate Him, attribute it to Him, and you acknowledge that with your tongue, so you give thanks to Him after waking from sleep for having given new life, andafter eating and drinking for having provided you with them and bestowed them upon you, and so onwith every blessing that you see in your life.
You give thanks with yourphysical faculties by not letting them see or hear any sin or evil, such as singing or gossip; you do not walk with your feet toharaam places; you do not use your hands to commit evil, such as haraam writing in a relationship with non-mahram women, or writing haraam contracts, or making or doing anything haraam. Giving thanks with the physical faculties for blessings alsoincludes using them to obey Allaah, by reading Qur'aan and books of knowledge, listening to beneficial and useful things, and so on with all the faculties which you should use in various kinds of obedience and worship.
Remember that gratitude for blessings is a blessing which needs to be given thanks for, so that one will continue to enjoy the blessings of his Lord, thanking his Lord for those blessings and praising Him for helping him to be among those who give thanks.
We ask Allaah, may He be exalted, to help us and you to do that which He loves and which pleases Him.
And Allaah knows best.
