as in His words, exalted is He, ‘Indeed, my Lord hears all prayers,’ 1 and the worshipper’s saying, ‘Allah hears whoever praises Him,’ meaning that He responds.”2

45 - 46 - (The Appreciative3 - The Most Appreciative)

He—may Allah Most High have mercy on him—said: “Among His names, exalted is He, are the Appreciative and the Most Appreciative. He appreciates even a little sincere, pure and beneficial work, pardons many lapses, and never lets the reward of anyone who does good be lost. Rather, He multiplies it many times over, beyond all reckoning. His appreciation includes rewarding a good deed tenfold, up to seven hundredfold and many times more. Allah may reward a servant for a deed with various rewards in this world before those of the Hereafter. The deeds of His servants impose no obligation upon Him; rather, He Himself has undertaken this obligation out of His bounty and generosity. Allah does not let the reward of those who serve Him be lost when they perform their deeds well and devote them sincerely to Allah Most High5.

When His servant carries out His commands and obeys Him, He helps him to do so, commends and praises him, and rewards him with light, faith and ease in his heart, strength and vigour in his body, increased blessing and growth in all his circumstances, and greater success in his deeds.

ومنه قوله تعالى: ﴿إِنَّ رَبِّي لَسَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ﴾ ١ وقول المصلي سمع الله لمن حمده أي استجاب"٢. ٤٥ - ٤٦ - (الشاكر٣ - الشكور) قال رحمه الله تعالى: "ومن أسمائه تعالى الشاكر الشكور وهو الذي يشكر القليل من العمل الخالص النقي النافع، ويعفو عن الكثير من الزلل ولا يضيع أجر من أحسن عملا بل يضاعفه أضعافاً مضاعفة بغير عدٍ ولا حساب، ومن شكره أنه يجزي بالحسنة عشرة أمثالها إلى سبعمائة ضعف إلى أضعاف كثيرة، وقد يجزئ الله العبد على العمل بأنواع من الثواب العاجل قبل الآجل، وليس عليه حق واجب بمقتضى أعمال العباد وإنما هو الذي أوجب الحق على نفسه كرماً منه وجوداً، والله لا يضيع أجر العاملين به إذا أحسنوا في أعمالهم واخلصوها لله تعالى٥. فإذا قام عبده بأوامره، وامتثل طاعته أعانه على ذلك، وأثنى عليه، ومدحه، وجازاه في قلبه نوراً وإيماناً وسعة، وفي بدنه قوة ونشاطاً وفي جميع أحواله زيادة بركة ونماء، وفي أعماله زيادة توفيق. ثم بعد ذلك يقدم على الثواب الآجل عند ربه كاملاً موفوراً، لم تنقصه هذه الأمور. ومن شكره لعبده، أن من ترك شيئاً لله عوضه الله خيراً منه، ومن
