| The First
"General Thanksgiving." |
|
This proclamation was issued by
George Washington during his first year as President. It sets aside Thursday,
November 26 as "A Day of Public Thanksgiving and Prayer." It was
signed by Washington on October 3, 1789 and entitled "General
Thanksgiving."
Whereas it is the duty of all nations to
acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for
His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both
Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me to
"recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving
and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and
signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity
peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and
happiness:"

An Islamic Thanksgiving

Then do ye remember Me; I will remember you.
Be grateful to Me and reject not Faith. (Quran 2:152)
And remember! Your Lord caused to be declared (publicly): "If ye are
grateful, I will add more (favors) unto you; but if ye show ingratitude, truly
My punishment is terrible indeed." (Quran 14:7)
We bestowed Wisdom on Luqman: "Show (thy) gratitude to Allah." Any who
is (so) grateful does so to the profit of his own soul; but if any is
ungrateful, verily Allah is free of all wants, worthy of all praise. (Quran
31:12)
The National Day of Thanksgiving in America is a beautiful holiday. It contains
a good spirit and noble message. It is not a holiday of any particular religion.
It is not a Christian or Jewish holiday but it has many deeply religious and
spiritual meanings. America at thanksgiving is America at its best. It is
unfortunate that like many other moral and spiritual things this holiday is also
turned nowadays into too much indulgence and commercialism. It is important that
we remember and remind others about the spirit of thanksgiving.
