The Holy Quran 16:121 — Surah An-Nahl

Arabic text

شَاكِرًا لِّأَنْعُمِهِ ۚ ٱجْتَبَىٰهُ وَهَدَىٰهُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

Translation

He was grateful for Allaah's favours. Allaah chose him (to be a Rasool and a special friend) and guided him to the straight path.

How then are you on his path?
