How do we pray the prayer of gratitude?

Question:
How do we pray the prayer of gratitude?

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions. As for what follows, there is no specific prayer for gratitude; rather, Allah has prescribed the prostration of gratitude. It is a single prostration, like the prostration of recitation, when a general or specific blessing is renewed or a calamity is averted. It is recommended to prostrate in gratitude by falling down in prostration to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in the manner of prayer prostration, saying "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High), and making supplication in it as one does in prayer prostration. This is the prostration of gratitude. However, it is prescribed for the Muslim to thank Allah (Mighty and Majestic) also by means other than prostration. One thanks Allah with his tongue, his heart, and his actions, for gratitude encompasses these three things: gratitude with the tongue, gratitude with the heart, and gratitude with actions. Allah the Exalted said: Thus, all acts of obedience, whether obligatory or recommended, verbal or physical, internal or external, are all gratitude to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
