He has given you everything you have asked Him for. If you tried to number God’s blessings, you could never count them. Man is indeed wrongdoing, ungrateful.
You who believe! Remember God’s blessing to you when certain people were on the verge of raising their hands against you and He held their hands back from you. Have fear of God. The believers should put their trust in God.
‘My people! Remember God’s blessing to you when He appointed Prophets among you and appointed kings for you, and gave you what He had not given to anyone else in all the worlds!’
Mankind! Remember God’s blessing to you. Is there any creator other than God providing for you from heaven and earth? There is no god but Him. So how have you been perverted?
… Remember God’s blessing to you and the Book and Wisdom He has sent down to you to admonish you. Have fear of God and know that God has knowledge of all things.
… Today I have perfected your religion for you and completed My blessing upon you and I am pleased with Islam as a religion for you. But if anyone is forced by hunger, not intending any wrongdoing, God is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

In that way He perfects His blessing on you so that hopefully you will become Muslims.
