al-Hamd - You must praise Allah. Allah says in the opening chapter of the Qur’an,

“All the praises and thanks are to Allah, the Lord of the Alameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists).” al-Qur’an, Surah al-Faatihah, 1: 2

And,

“and say: "All praise is due to Allah, who begets no offspring, and has no partner in His dominion, and has no weakness, and therefore no need of any aid" -and [thus] extol His limitless greatness.” al-Qur’an, Surah al-Israa, 17: 111

Also on the authority of Abu Dharr (ra):

“Some people from amongst the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), “O Messenger of Allah, the affluent have made off with the rewards; they pray as we pray, they fast as we fast, and they give [much] in charity by virtue of their wealth.” He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Has not Allah made things for you to give in charity? Truly every tasbeehah [saying: ‘subhan-Allah’] is a charity, and every takbeerah [saying: ‘Allahu akbar’] is a charity, and every tahmeedah [saying: ‘al-hamdu lillah’] is a charity, and every tahleelah [saying: ‘laa ilaha illal Allah’] is a charity. And commanding the good is a charity, and forbidding an evil is a charity, and in the bud’i [sexual act] of each one of you there is a charity.” Saheeh al-Muslim
