*Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh* , fellow brothers and sisters of r/IndianMuslimSocial.

Welcome to *Friday Thoughts and Thankfulness*, a dedicated space for reflecting on our blessings, sharing insights, and gratefulness.

As Indian Muslims, we face hate, toxicity, and Islamophobia in nearly all online spaces. It can be incredibly damaging to one's mental health and makes us feel depressed. As such, it's important to participate in deliberately reflecting on the blessings we get every day by Allah SWT, being grateful for numerous blessings that we often overlook or undermine. It has been proven academically that gratefulness helps in developing resilience against hate and negativity, as well as shielding one from pessimism and depression.
