The Most Appreciative • The One Who Multiplies Every Good Deed Beyond Measure
✨ ROOT MEANING
Arabic root: ش – ك – ر (shīn • kāf • rā)
This root carries the meaning of gratitude, appreciation, growth, and increase. In Arabic, shukr describes when a small act is met with abundant reward.
| Word | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Shukr (شُكْر) | Gratitude, thankfulness, appreciating a blessing |
| Shakara (شَكَرَ) | To acknowledge and reward good |
| Shakūr (شَكُور) | The One who appreciates the smallest deed and multiplies its reward |
| Shākir (شَاكِر) | The one who is grateful (used for humans and Allah) |
Ash-Shakūr is the One who appreciates even the smallest effort and rewards it with something far greater. Humans may forget your sacrifices, overlook your sincerity, or never see your hidden struggles, but Ash-Shakūr sees everything, records everything, and multiplies everything. His appreciation is not like human appreciation. It is complete, generous, and eternal.
