The Difference Between Speaking of Allah's Blessings and Boasting About Them

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence is being asked about the difference between speaking of Allah's blessings and boasting about them?

Answer:
Speaking about them so as to give thanks to Him (Glorified and Exalted is He), in order to thank the Lord (Exalted and Majestic is He). One speaks of the blessings of Allah to thank Him, and the listeners thank Him as well. This is the intended purpose of speaking about the blessings of Allah for the sake of gratitude:
But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
[Al-Dhuha:11] as a form of gratitude, by speaking about them to thank Allah for them and praise Him for them, and for the listeners to praise Him , for He is the Bestower of blessings upon all and the Doer of good to all. The intention is not boasting, nor being arrogant with them over people, or boasting to people, saying, "I am better than you and more excellent than you." No. For this reason, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
I am the leader of the sons of Adam, and it is no boastأنا سيد ولد آدم ولا فخر
Sunan Ibn Majah 4308Sahih (Darussalam)
He informs of the blessings of Allah upon him, that He made him the master of the children of Adam, and he does not boast with this, but he informs of the reality, that Allah preferred him over people and made him the master of the children of Adam. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
