This concept is used in different ways in the Qur?an. There areother words in the Qur?an that may be synonyms of this term. God?s blessings are somany as to be uncountable. Every blessing has a purpose. God bestows His blessingson human beings while they are in this world. The natural balance in the worldfunctions according to the rule: ?For each human being, there is nothing but what hehas worked for.? Other blessings, such as Paradise and seeing God, are reserved onlyfor believers.Human beings bear certain responsibilities in return for these blessings whichthey have been given. They will be held to account for all blessings they enjoy. Forthe Qu?ran has explicitly stated how these blessings are to be utilised. In addition,God has bestowed various bounties on some of His prophets besides the blessing ofprophethood. We should give thanks for the countless blessings bestowed by God,and should engage in virtuous behaviour that will please Him. If we do so, Godpromises to increase His blessings, and to bestow even better ones in the next world.
