Though Thanksgiving in the US and Canada is an annual celebration, Islam explicitly teaches that thanking God is not only a daily affair but rather it is something a Muslim does throughout his waking moments. The Qur'an, which is a book of complete guidance for how to live on this earth while preparing for the next life, tells us, "…God brought you forth from the wombs of your mothers while you knew nothing, and gave you ears and eyes and hearts, that you might be grateful" (16:79). It is just our simple existence which compels us to be thankful to the One who gave us the gift of life. This is the reason why Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was ever mindful of being grateful to his Creator.
