وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ وَبِٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَٰنًا ۚ إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ ٱلْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَوْ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَآ  أُفٍّۢ وَلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوْلًۭا كَرِيمًۭا

Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour. ~ Surah Al-Isra 17:23

وَٱخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ ٱلذُّلِّ مِنَ ٱلرَّحْمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱرْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِى صَغِيرًۭا

  ۖ وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ
And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, ‘If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor] ~ Surah Ibrahim 14:7

Every single bounty has been bestowed upon us by Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta’ala, although we are underserving of it. 

 Making Shukr to Allah with this realization and conviction, together with expressing gratitude by means of your tongue and actions (carry out your life in accordance to the will of Allah) … that is ‘real shukr‘ …

اَللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كُلُّهُ وَلَكَ الشُّكْرُ كُلُّهُ
Allahumma Lakal Hamdu Kulluhu _ Wa Laka-sh Shukru Kulluhu
O Allah, for You Alone is all Praise. For You Alone is all Gratitude.

Hazrat Abu Hurayrah Radiallahu Anhu said : that a man passed by Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam whilst he was sitting with some others, and said “As-salamu ‘alaykum (peace be upon you).” Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said, “[He will have] ten hasanaat (10 rewards).”

Another man passed by and said “As-salamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullah (peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah).” Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said, “[He will have] twenty hasanaat (20 rewards).”

Another man passed by and said “As-salamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullahi wa-barakatuh (peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings).” Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said, “[He will have] thirty hasanaat (30 rewards).”
