Gratitude in different religions part !!

The Islamic religion includes gratitude in daily prayers and through the Holy Koran. The opening lines of the Sura Al-Fatiha (the opening chapter of the Koran) give this prayer:

               “In the name of God, most gracious most merciful.

               Praise be to God, the cherisher and sustainer of the worlds;

               Most gracious, most merciful; mast of the day of judgment.

               Thee do we worship and Thine aid we seek.”   Emmons, Robert A., Thanks!  How Practicing Gratitude Can Make You Happier, (Boston:  Houghton Mifflin Co, 2007), 97.

The Eastern religions of Buddhism, Hindu and Shinto include 

gratitude in their beliefs and lifestyle.  “In these Eastern 

perspectives, a positive affirmation of life comes from a deep sense 

of gratitude to all forms of existence, a gratitude rooted in the  

essence of being itself, which permeates one’s every thought, 

speech and action.”  Emmons, Robert A., Thanks!  How Practicing Gratitude Can Make You Happier, (Boston:  Houghton Mifflin Co, 2007), 103.
