Remembering Allah/Excerpt from Ml Zubair Kandhlawi (rah)’s speeches and notes.
We need to strengthen relationship with our Allah. With remembrance that is to take his name.
What is beloved and loved by human being, he takes pleasure in mentioning it. We are in love with ephemeral things of this world. We mention them fondly and derive pleasure from it.
We should have such a relationship with Allah that we are devoid of peace without mentioning his name.
To the extent of our remembrance, our hearts in turn will be filled with light, illumination, peace and tranquility. In Allah’s name there is great good, blessings and spiritual elevation.
“Blessed is the name of your Lord..”(55:78)
Remembering ephemeral things of this world increases in the heart anxiety, heedlessness and disaccord. But remembering Allah will bring in our heart light, peace and tranquility.
Today the hearts are in disarray, anxious, reason being the heart and tongue are void of Allah’s remembrance.
“Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured.” (13:28)
To extent of our remembrance and taking Allah’s name, problems and difficulties will dissipate. Having discussions of this world will bring forth tribulations, afflictions, illnesses, worries but remembering Allah will drive away problems as Allah is pleased. Allah will save one from his punishment.
What should have happened is every moment our tongue and heart are busy remembering Allah. However if this is not possible, at least for small period of time with deliberate focus remember Allah such that relationship with Allah is established.
