I'm grateful for my parents,my family, and this dunya. I mean if I didn't have a world to live in, hen I won't even be alive. My parents give me a bed to sleep on, food to eat, and a school to go to. I'm also grateful for my brothers and sister. Some people don't even have fun because they're lonely.Im thankful for everything I have.


I hope you're thankful too.

Salwa 9

I am grateful for lots of things! I am grateful to Allah the most for making me Muslim and showing me halal and haram. I am grateful to my parents because they are the reason I am here. I owe my parents everything! My parents know what's best for me, and even if I don't like their decisions, I still love them. I am grateful for living in the 21st century because of all the technology we have today. I am grateful for coming to this school where i learn quran, arabic, and islamic studies. I am grateful to my sisters and my only brother . I am grateful to my teachers for teaching me what i have to know. I am very grateful to sister safia for being so nice to me , and she is laways leniant with me; she is my homey :)! I am grateful to my best freinds: Hala, Tesneem, Ayah, Rimsha, Mona, Summer, Bayan, Ruah, Hana, Nimra, Muna, and Amanny; they are always there for me when i need them, they are always there to talk to even through thick and thin. I know my friends are really true friends because they would like any harm towars me intended, and if they did hurt they'd apologize form their heart not because they were forced to by someone else. My friends are the best and hope they always stay my friends.

Nimra 9th Grade

There are many things in my life that I am grateful for. I am especially grateful for my parents and my sister. I absolutely love them to death and I honestly don't know how my would would be without them. They are always there for me, always supporting me in everything I do. Another thing I am grateful for are my friends. Some people may have one or two best friends, but I feel lucky because I have ten of the greatest friends a person could have. I am lucky to go to an islamic school which gives me the best education plus having it in an islamic environment. To tell you the truth, I just can't list all my blessings because alhumdulilah I have a lot!

9th grade Neda Awwad

Honestly, there are sooo many blessings in my life that i never realize how grateful i should be for them. Even the simplest food such as bread. In many poor countries, people are so desperate to have the simplest food ever. But things i am grateful for are: great amounts of food, wonderful parents that i literally can't live without, a great education from a private islamic school, islam to lead me to the right path in this life and the next life, enough clothes (people in africa have to rely on one outfit for their whole lives), clean water (people are so desperate for water, that they would drink even dirty water), the right technology and gadgets to make my life easier, and there is A LOT MORE that would take forever to list. But I am happy with my life alhamduliallah. And i am grateful that Allah the ever living has provided me with it.

Abdu 9th <-- :D

Being grateful is a quality we should all have, actually we all do really have it but we must bring it out in the open. I am grateful for many things: Of course I am grateful for my family especially my parents. I am grateful for everything Allah has bestowed on me, his blessings and his obstacles. Reason I am grateful for everything because everything that happens to me can always be thought as "Allah is doing this for a reason so I deserve it, good or bad" :D :D :D!

Hamzah 9

A few things I am grateful for is water, food and shelter. Some people living in the world dont even have these things so im grateful that I do. Waking up, and eating breakfast is something alot of people take for granted and I need to be more grateful for that. Im also grateful for friends and family, who help keep my life straight

Hammad, 3B

I am grateful for parents because they could give me food and drop me to school. I am grateful to have a house so I can put all my stuff. I am greatful to have a school so I could be intelligent

Hamza, 3B

I am grateful for clothes to wear to school, and pants to wear and make me warm in winter. A bed to sleep on and feel comfortable. A house to live in and to play in. A car to go to scool in. Parents to take care of me and feed me and buy stuff for me. Food to eat when I am hungry. Shoes to wear when my feet are cold and to wear so my feet dont get hurt.

Namra 8

Things I’m grateful for

I’m thankful for many things. I’m thankful for things such as my family, my house, Islam, and technology. Without a family, a person is incomplete. Everyone should be thankful for their house because there are many people in this world without one. I’m thankful for Islam because without it, we wouldn’t be any better than animals. We should be thankful for technology because it has made our life much easier.

Tesneem Abed, 8th Grade

Things I Am Grateful For


When it comes to explaining everything I am grateful for, I can’t explain how many blessing we have. If I sat at home, and did nothing but write every single thing I’m grateful for, I would grow old and still not be half way through. I’m honestly grateful for everything Allah (s) blessed us with, but I’ll mention the important things in my life. The biggest and most important blessing we all have is Islam. Without Islam, our lives would be completely different and would probably be doing bad deeds this instant. The blessing of Islam is one of the most things everyone should be grateful for. The second biggest thing I’m grateful for are my parents and the rest of my family. My parents provide shelter for me, feed me, buy me everything I need and everything I want, and without my parents I would be no where. Something I should be very grateful to my parents for is putting me in an Islamic school and providing me with a good education. That’s something I should never stop thanking them for. Because of this, I could Insha Allah go to a good University and get a good job.

Rameesha, 8th Grade

Things I am Grateful For...
I am grateful for many things, but one thing I’m grateful for is having parents. That is because without them I won’t be where I am. They are the ones who taught me how to read, write, and had helped me learn many things. Without them I won’t understand a thing and would be unorganized. My parents gave me many presents, loved me, taught me, and helped me out when I needed it. I feel sorry for the kids around the world who don’t have any parents. I am really thankful to Allah (SWT) that he has blessed me with parents.

Nida S. 8th

Things I am Grateful for

I am very grateful for all the blessings Allah has given us. But some of those blessings I couldn’t stand not having. First off my parents are number one. They help and take care of me. They always care and love me. I don’t know what I would do without my parents to be there for me. Another blessing that I feel very special having is my home. Without a place to live, I would be homeless, and without a home you have no place to go, no place to call home. My friends are very special to me. Friends are an essential; you need someone to tell your secrets to, to help you through the rough times, and someone to relate to. These are just a few of the many things that I am blessed with. Even the small things we take for granted, like food and water and clothes. Islam teaches us to be grateful for all we have, and the people we have around us.

Awais Raza 8th Grade

I am grateful for my parents, because they take care of me and look after me. I thank Allah for good health. If I didn’t have good health I wouldn’t be able to do many things. I am also grateful for a good house. Some people around the world don’t have strong houses that can support strong winds. I thank Allah for a car. Without a car we would have to walk everywhere and we wouldn’t be able to go to far places that common. I am grateful for food. Some people around the world don’t have food and eat from places we would never imagine.

*Amanny* 8th Grade

Things I am Grateful For

I’m grateful for a lot of things. I’m grateful for my parents of course, because they provide me with everything and without them I’d be NOTIHNG. I’m grateful for my beautiful house that I can go home to everyday with plenty of shelter. For my food that keeps me alive, which is also provided by my wonderful parents. For my clothes, that I can wear everyday. I’m grateful for my friends that keep me company, amuse me, and whom I can spend time with. My healthy, normal body Allah also blessed me with along with the other million blessings in my life. And last but not least my Islam! I’d be no where without my religion.

Hala, 8th Grade

I am thankful for all my loving friend and siblings. My brother because I can always look up to him for anything. My friends and my brother because they are very easy to trust. I love everything in my life and I am thankful for my life too. I am also very grateful for the religion I follow. Islam!

I am grateful to Allah (swt) for all the blessings He bestowed on our school, for the opportunity to be a part of the Al-Arqam family, and for these special kids who brighten each day and remind us of our purpose.
