REMEMBERING ALMIGHTY ALLĀH AT ALL TIMES

 *

*REMEMBERING ALMIGHTY ALLĀH AT ALL TIMES*


1- The remembrance of Allah is the basis of slavery to Allah, as it is the header of the relation between the slave and his Creator, in all his time and conditions. It was reported that Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said: [the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to remember Allah in all his time].

 Narrated by Muslim.


 * Being connected with Allah is life, seeking refuge with Him is salvation, being near Him is success and satisfaction and keeping away from Him is loss and deviation.


 2- The remembrance of Allah is what differentiates between believers and hypocrites, as the hypocrites’ attribute is that they do not remember Allah except a little.


 3- The devil does not pre-dominate man, except when the latter overlooks the remembrance of Allah, as the remembrance of Allah is the immune fort that protects man against the devil’s plots.

 * The devil likes man to forget the remembrance of Allah.


 4- Remembrance (thikr) is the way to happiness. He (Exalted be He) said: (The ones who have believed and whose hearts (feel) composed with the Remembrance of Allah -verily in the Remembrance of Allah the hearts are composed) [Ar-Raad: 28].


 5- One should always remember Allah, as the people of paradise do not regret anything, except an hour that passed by them in this life without remembering Allah (Glorified and Sublime be He). (Verily, permanent remembrance means permanent relationship with Allah).


 An-Nawawi said: scholars agreed that remembrance, by (both) heart and tongue, is permissible for this who has broken his ablution, this who is ritually unclean, menstrual and postpartum women. This includes glorification (saying: Subhan Allah), praise (saying: Al-Hamdulillah), saying Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greater), saying la ilaha ila Allah (there is no god but Allah), asking Allah to send His peace and blessings on the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and supplication. This is unlike the case of reciting Qur’an.


 6- This who remembers his Lord (Glorified and Sublime be He), his Lord remembers him. He (Exalted be He) said: (So, remember Me, (and) I will remember you; and give thanks to Me; and do not disbelieve Me) [AlBaqarah: 152]. If man feels much delight, when he is informed that one of the kings has mentioned him in his council and that he has praised him, so, how would he feel, if Allah, the King of all kings (Exalted be He), mentioned him to a crowd, which is better than those to whom he is mentioned to?


 7- Remembrance of Allah does not mean muttering with a word or words, while the heart is inattentive, overlooking glorification of Allah and obeying Him. Remembrance by tongue should be accompanied by reasoning and being affected by the meanings of its words. He (Exalted be He) said: (And remember your Lord within yourself, in supplication and in fright, other than being (too) loud in words, in the early mornings and the (hours) before sunset, and do not be among the heedless) [Al-Aaraf:205].


 * The person who remembers Allah should be aware of what he says, so that heart remembrance and tongue remembrance may gather and man can be connected with his Lord both manifestly and immanently.


Pearls Of Motivation*


In the course of our lives, some things are not going to make sense, but that’s okay. Rest easy knowing that Almighty ALLĀH wouldn’t have allowed it if He wasn’t going to bring good out of it. Don’t doubt that. He (Almighty ALLĀH) always has our best interest at heart.

*Habits Of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ*


Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) never used to find faults in any food.

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will p
