Showing Appreciation to All the Avenues of Deen

Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Ilyaas (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) once mentioned:

We should acknowledge and show appreciation to all the means and avenues through which deen has come to us. Not acknowledging and showing appreciation is a means of ingratitude and a cause of great deprivation. Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) has said in his mubaarak hadeeth:

من لم يشكر الناس لم يشكر الله (رواه الطبراني)

The one who has not shown gratitude to people has not shown gratitude to Allah Ta‘ala.
