The typical meaning of "gratitude" is simply saying "thank you". Here I argue that the Qur'anic meaning of gratitude is much deeper than that and relates primarily to how we process and act in life.

Verses quoted:
And Muḥammad is only a messenger.
Messengers have come and gone before him.
If then he dies or is killed will you turn back on your heels?
And he who turns back on his heels does no harm to God at all.
And God will reward the grateful.
And it is not for a soul to die save by God’s leave
By a decree fixed in time.
And whoso desires the reward of this world, we give him thereof.
And whoso desires the reward of the hereafter, we give him thereof.
And we will reward the grateful. (3:144-145)
Said he: Because thou hast sent me astray I will lie in wait for them on thy straight path
Then will I come at them from before them
And from behind them
And from their right hand
And from their left hand.
And thou wilt not find most of them grateful. (7:16-17)
And when Mūsā said to his people:
Remember the grace of God towards you when he delivered you from the house of Firʿawn
They were afflicting you with an evil punishment
And killing your sons and sparing your women.
And in that was a tremendous trial from your lord.
And when your lord proclaimed: If you are grateful I will increase you
And if you deny, my punishment is severe. (14:6)
