وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ وَلَئِن كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِى لَشَدِيدٌ 7

7. And when your Lord
proclaimed: If ye give thanks, I will give you more; and if ye are thankless,
lo! My punishment is dire.
8. And Moses said:
Though ye and all who are in the earth prove thankless, lo! Allah verily is
Absolute, Owner of Praise.

Commentary
Prophet Moses
(peace be upon him) said to the Children of Israel: The person who is favored,
it is his duty that he should be thankful to his Benefactor by his word, act
and heart. And it is incumbent on him that he should perform this duty in
exchange of previous kindness, without thinking about any further favour. But
Allah Almighty, Who is Real Beneficent of the mankind, puts them also in
biggest hope of future on being thankful to Him. He proclaims with His mercy
and kindness: Your name will be registered in the list of those who are
thankful to Him, if you expressed gratitude on previous favors. Not only this,
but there are many more blessings ready for the grateful people for the future.
Being thankful on old graciousness, more favors will be bestowed in future. But
the people who will be thankless, they shall be punished severely.
Then it is
commanded: It does not mean that Allah Almighty is necessitous of your
thankfulness. He is Absolute and does not care for thanks of any person. He is
Owner of all Praises, and appearance of His excellences does not depend on it
that someone should extol of Him and praise with tongue, and serve Him with
heart, hands and feet. There is no benefit of Allah Almighty in such things.
However, there is advantage of mankind in thanking and obeying Him. They can
acquire higher ranks due to being thankful to Allah Almighty, and can be rich with
favors of this world and the Hereafter.
