The main point of Ayah 7 of Surah Ibrahim

SHAFAQNA – In Ayah 7 of Surah Ibrahim, Allah (SWT) said: “If you are grateful, I (God) will add more unto you.” From this Ayah, it can be understood that thanking God for all limitless Divine Blessings, will result in increasing the existential capacity of the human being; because God said: By thanking, I will add more unto you. By increasing the existential capacity of the human being, naturally Divine Blessings will also increase in quantity and quality. The point which is emphasized in this Ayah is that the increase in existential capacity of the human being can be achieved by thanking God; this means that the real appreciation of Divine Blessings is to benefit from them in a way that signs of Divine Characteristics can appear in the behaviour and lifestyle of the believing human being. Therefore, there is no doubt in the connection between proper thanking of God and increase in existential capacity.
