The All-Compassionate Creator desires thanks in return for the bounties He bestows on mankind. As for wastefulness, it is contrary to thanks, and slights the bounties and causes loss. While frugality is both thanks, and shows respect towards the Divine Mercy manifested in the bounties, and is the cause of plenty. This book of pieces from the Risale-i Nur explains from various angles mans duty of offering thanks to God Almighty, showing thanks to be the most important result of the creation of the world. Thanks too is one of the instances of wisdom in the fast of the blessed month of Ramadan, expounded in the first section of the book.
