Shukr
शुक्र
said SHUKR
also written: shukar, sabr-o-shukr
Meaning
Gratitude, thankfulness, the recognition and acknowledgement of blessings.
Literally: From the root sh-k-r: to be thankful.
Usage & notes
Shukr is the believer's grateful answer to grace, classically paired with sabr; Iqbal treasures a gratitude that fuels fresh striving rather than the complacent thankfulness that rests content with little.
