Words To Express Gratitude To Allah In Quran
The word thank in Arabic is Shukr. See the verses 12 of Surah Luqman.
The phrase does not exist in Qur’an. The phrase that is taught to us is Alhamdulillah in Surah Fatihah which Ghamidi Sahab translates and comments : Gratitude [2] is for God only……(Qur’an 1:2) [2] The actual word is: اَلْحَمْد. In the Arabic language, this word is used to acknowledge the qualities and excellence of someone and if the person who expresses this word also benefits from the said qualities and excellence, the element of gratitude automatically enters the meaning of the word. It is evident from verse 43 of Sūrah al-A‘rāf, verse 10 of Sūrah Yūnus and verse 39 of Sūrah Ibrāhīm that in the expression اَلۡحَمۡدُ لِلّٰهِ the word اَلۡحَمۡد is used to connote gratitude. In this particular sūrah, it portrays the sentiments of gratitude and appreciation that one is filled with or should be filled with after viewing the unfathomable providence and profound mercy of the Almighty and the reminder of the prophets of God regarding the reward and punishment that is to take place in the Hereafter. ——————————————————————————————————————————————— If you want a phrase for “Thank you Allah” in any language of your choice, you may need to look outside the Qur’an. There is also a Hadith which narrates Prophet’s (PBUH) choice of words for thanking Allah. https://sunnah.com/abudawud:5073 (but authenticity is considered weak by Al-Albani but very good by Al-Nawawi ).
