Today's Topic: Remembrance of Allah

Theme: A Calamity that makes you turn to Allah is better for you than a blessing which makes you forget the remembrance of Allah ~ Ibn Taymiyah

The Prophet (SAW) said:
“There is a polish for everything that takes away rust, and the polish for the heart is the remembrance of Allah.” [Bukhari]

Then, should we not strive to take the name of Allah in all our actions and spend our idle time making tasbīḥ?
He (SAW) said:
“Allah says: I am to my servant as he expects of Me, I am with him when he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in his heart, I remember him to Myself, and if he remembers Me in an assembly, I mention him in an assembly better than his…” [Bukhari & Muslim]
Indeed what better thing would there be than to have your Lord remember you?

The Qur’an says on this subject:
“And remember the Name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with complete devotion.” [Al-Muzzammil V8]

“Those men and women who engage much in Allah’s praise. For them has Allah prepared forgiveness and a great reward.” [Al-Aḥzāb 35]
“Those who believe, and whose hearts find comfort in the remembrance of Allah! ” Behold in the Remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.” [Al-Ra‘d 28]

So continuous dhikr (remembrance of Allah) not only polishes our heart and cleanses it, but also serves our case in the court of Allah on the day when we will need it most. In addition, it helps our hearts find comfort which most of us try to seek daily through various means, especially in this Holy Month.

The Qur’an also warns us:
And whosoever turns away from the remembrance of the Most Beneficent (Allah), We appoint for him Shaitan (Satan – devil) to be a  companion to him.” [Al-Zukhruf 36]

This Ramadan (and even after it) let us try and spend as much time in dhikr and make it a habit to frequently remember Allah.
May Allah accept our supplications, Ameen.
