According to the chief missioner of the society, Imam Abdul-Azeez Onike, one of the hallmarks of a good Muslim is to be appreciative of Allah’s (swt) favours on him, corroborating his assertion with the saying of the Noble Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and Sayyidina Ali (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Indeed, Allah loves to see the results of His favours upon His slaves.”
