فَٱذْكُرُونِىٓ أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِى وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ
Therefore remember Me, I will remember you. Give thanks to Me, and reject not Me.

Islamic Quotes About Gratitude
Notice the gifts in the ordinary.
This selection brings together remembrance, thankfulness and recognition of blessings. The verses speak in different settings, so their references are part of the reminder rather than optional decoration. Read each passage before using a short line on its own. Gratitude can be expressed through attention and action, including noticing support, caring for what is entrusted to us and treating people well. These practical suggestions are editorial reflections, not a promise of a specific financial or personal outcome. A grateful response can coexist with grief or difficulty. You do not have to deny a hard experience in order to recognise something good.
