الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ شُكْرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ غَيْرَ مَكْفِيٍّ وَلَا مُوَدَّعٍ وَلَا مُسْتَغْنًى عَنْهُ رَبَّنَا
Praise be to Allah, a good and blessed praise, not insufficient, nor is it left behind, nor is it dispensable, our Lord.

Virtues & Benefits
This supplication acknowledges Allah's provision and asks for His blessing upon it. By seeking that the sustenance not be 'insufficient, nor left behind, nor dispensable,' we are essentially asking Allah to make us thankful and to use the blessings we receive to benefit ourselves and others. This fosters a spirit of generosity and sharing, reflecting the Islamic emphasis on charity (sadaqah) and helping those in need. It keeps the gratitude flowing beyond just the satisfaction of hunger.
