Why we must performing dua for grateful to Allah? Because He has already granted for what we have got,whether we ask or not. He always gives what the best for us. Moreover, when we make dua because we do not have any way to solve, He, Allah, is the one we rely on, and granted our dua. In order to express our thankful to Allah, we as well perform the dua to thank Allah (shukr). There are some duas for grateful to Allah.
Alhamdulillah is the best dua for expressing the gratitude to Allah. It means that “All praises and thanks to Allah. It is originally quoted from Surah Al Fatiha ayah (verse) 2:
“Alhamdulillahi rabbil aalamiin”
“[All] praise and thanks are to Allah, Lord of the worlds”
Alhamdulillah is an expression of both praise and gratitude to Allah. It is something when we realize that he has betowed on us what we want. Alhamdulillah must be said with due respect to the meaning in order to receive the reward.
The Prophet Mohammmed (PBUH) advised for saying alhamdulillah as quoted in the hadith narrated by Abu Maalik al-Haarith ibn Aasim al-Ashari:
“The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, ‘Cleanliness is the part of the faith. The phrase al-hamdulillah (‘All praises and thanks are to Allah ‘) fills the scale. The phrases sub-haanallaah and al-hamdullilah fill together the space between the heavens and earth. Prayer is a light. Charity is a proof. Patience is a brightness. The Qur’an is either an argument for you or against you. And everyone goes out in the morning and sells himself either freeing or destroying himself.” (Recorded in Muslim 223, Tirmidhi 3517)
