4th Step is to Connect / link (Meditative Thinking)

Connect everything to Allah and beautiful names

ء﴿قَالَ رَبُّنَا الَّذِي أَعْطَىٰ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلْقَهُ ثُمَّ هَدَىٰ﴾ طه 50

"Our Lord is He who gave each thing its form and then guided [it]."

1. المصور: perfectly designed and shaped the fish (colors, bodies, sizes, etc.)

2. الهادي: guides them in the darkness of water

5th to Appreciate (Moral Thinking)

Encourages us to reflect on the benefits of fish and be kind to others through good character.

Be Grateful and thankful to Allah:

🡪 For the food / vitamins that we get form the fish

وَ﴿وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ الْبَحْرَ لِتَأْكُلُوا مِنْهُ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُوا مِنْهُ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ﴾ النحل 14

And He has subjected to you (at your service) the sea, that you eat from it fresh/soft meat (ex. Fish) …. and that you may be grateful.

Moral thinking – Appreciate … /2

Remembrance with thinking is loyalty 🡪 Shukr

اعْمَلُوا آلَ دَاوُودَ شُكْرًا ۚ وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنْ عِبَادِيَ الشَّكُورُ

Work / perform, O family of David, in gratitude. 

And few of My servants are grateful.
