Will They Not Be Thankful? (Part-I) - أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ

Preamble: Allah has questioned us, Will they not be thankful? So Let us Return Towards being a Thankful Believer.
Objective: Returning towards Thankfulness.
Introduction & Concept: Usama Ibnu Zaid reports: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever says “Jazakallahu khayran (May Allah give you a good reward)” to anyone who has done him a favor, he has thanked in the best way.”
(See [Tirmidhi, Birr 86, (2036).] )

Quotes:
1. “Whoever says “Jazakallahu khayran (May Allah give you a good reward)” to anyone who has done him a favor, he has thanked in the best way.” [Tirmidhi, Birr 86, (2036).
2. “If your arm is too short to give a reward, keep your tongue long enough to thank”
3. Hazrat Jabir reports: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever receives a favor should respond to it right away if he can find him (who has done the favor). If he cannot, he should praise him (who has done the favor). Actually, by praising him, he thanks him. Whoever does not respond to a favor is ungrateful.”

Advice: Kindly read to the end before jumping to any conclusion, then I will be grateful to you if you be kind enough to correct me.
1. We have been asked to thank the one who favor us, I immediately thought of thanking Allah and as such I begin my search of this Treasure.
2. The Quranic Ayat#18 of Sureh#16: ( Walahum feeha manafiAAu wamasharibu afala yashkuroona ) And there are in them various other benefits and drinks for them. Will they not be thankful? ( وَلَهُمْ فِيهَا مَنَافِعُ وَمَشَارِبُ ۖ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ ). That made me ask a Question to myself Am I really thanking Allah or have I thanked Allah even once for the Booties/Favours (Nematen) that he offers Non-stop, Have I ever thanked with the least amount of some Genuine Fealings?
3. I wanted to thank Allah for all the Booties/Favours (Nematen) (I believe you to want to do the same being a Believer), I was about to get over confident & proceed with thanking Allah by naming all the Booties/Favours, then Quran reminded me of its Verse (Wa in tauddu ni'matallahi la tuhsuha, innallaha la gafurun rahim(rahimun)) And if you count the favours of Allah, you would not be able to number them, No doubt. Allah is Forgiving,Merciful. (Sureh 16, Ayat#18) ( وَإِن تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَا ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ).
4. Then I thought of thanking Allah for atleast one of his Booty/Favour [Nemat] as I could not even count them to begin with to thank Allah s.w.t for all, so I decided to go with just one Booty/Favor Nemat the Breathing System of Human being(myself). This way it was too easy to thank Allah s.w.t for atleast one Booty/Favor (atleast that's what i thought until, Quran/science came to my aid).
5. Someone Adviced me that it is difficult for me to thank Allah enought for even a single Breath! then as the process is Non-Stop & it remains to continue till I die, that made me change my decision once again, thereby I decided to thank Allah for just one single breath.
6. Someone explained that survival of my life requires neumerous things Breathing is just one of them (I said fine, let me just thank Allah s.w.t for only one System that too just one instance of it), with that passion i started exploring this and Here are merely some of my findings.
An Effort to Thank Allah s.w.t for One of His Booty, that too only for one instance only.1. I asked Professor Google.com (he was very quick and kind in answering me my Questions), it pointed me out to one of the Website where the title states The Human Respiratory System(users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/P/Pulmonary.html ), I immediately jumped out of there as they were explaining way too more than what I can Obserb (at least for the time being), so I present some brief of what is needed.
2. I need Oxygen so Allah blessed me with abundant of Oxygen on earth then helped me in Inhaling (if we dont understand this "help" we can look for patints who are taking the aid of oxygen cylinders & other equipments to assist this Inhalation), I did not thank Allah for those favours either! Then I abused/corrupted/damaged/destroyed/poisoned that Nemat(turned it into Carbondioxide by using it in my body now its not only harmful to me but for others too [CO2 is dangerous for most of the lifes on earth].
3. I did not even apologized once however he is Sattar/Ghafur ( الغفور ) The Forgiver and Hider of Faults he created plants who Inhaled/consumed it & turned CO2 back to oxygen. I remained ignorant of this Neverthless when CO2 was about to kill me, he Helped me again for Exhaling the CO2 & I did not thanked him let alone Apologizing for all of this mess that I have created.
4. Which reminded me that this is a Non-stop process till I die. I asked myself If thanking is not possible then should I remain Ignorant of all & pretend if everything is fine. Then Quran comes again to aid me Sureh#40, Ayat#61 (Portion of Ayat): Indeed, Allah is full of bounty to the people, but most of the people are not grateful. ( إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ )
5. Should I suggest myself that there is no need to figure out even one of our mistake (& or its depth) & no need to thank (or even think of thanking Allah), or rather Should I atleast keep reminding myself(every possible second) such that I thank Allah now & then with some amount of Genuine feelings.
6. I ask you O Allah s.w.t to help me out in this, I now understand that it is impossible to thank you even for just one instance of the One Booty that you are offering non-stop till I die, Could you show me the easiest way to thank you, in a matter of just one or two words? with this Question in my mind I re-opened The Guide (The Quran) and started with the first chapter, Sureh(Fateha) The Opening to my surprise I found the most easiest wayt to Thank/Praise Allah s.w.t and that is الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ [All] praise/Thanks is [due] to Allah.
I have finished writing & am ready to public this post, however the Quranic Verse/Ayat still remains unanswered in front of me, "Will they not be thankful?" ( أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ )
