‘Zikrullah – the key to the locks of our Heart‘ ~ Our ‘spiritual hearts’ have “locks” … These locks of the heart open when one makes the Zikr of Allah. However, a lock will only open easily when the appropriate key is used. When the teeth of that key matches that of the lock, then only does the lock open. Zikrullah is the key required to open the locks of our Heart and the “teeth” of the key of Zikrullah is ‘Khushoo’ (concentration) and ‘Khudoo’ (humility). One requires to make the Zikr of Allah Ta’ala, with dedication, concentration, and devotion, focussing only upon Allah Ta’ala ~ MOULANA NAEEM MOTALA ~ islaah.co.za
“Naam Tera, Mere Dil Ki Hai Dawa” [Oh Allah! Your beautiful name is a cure for my heart!] The name of Allah Ta’ala has such sweetness in it that it draws one closer to Allah and is a cure for the spiritual illnesses of the heart. Whilst the words (songs and poetry) of the pop singers and musicians of the world only darken and “BLEMISH” the heart, causing restlessness and anxiety; the words of the Aarifeen and Aashiqeen (Lovers of ALLAH Ta’ala) illuminate and “POLISH” the heart, bringing peace and tranquility ~ MOULANA NAEEM MOTALA ~ islaah.co.za
HAZRAT THANWI RA HAS STATED THAT MAKING THE ZIKR OF ALLAH IS A MEANS OF CONNECTING WITH ALLAH SUBHAANAHU WA TA’ALA. THE ZAAKIR IS LIKENED TO A PERSON SEARCHING FOR AND TAPPING ON THE DOOR OF ALLAH. HE CONTINUES TAPPING UNTIL THE DOOR IS OPENED, FOR HE KNOWS THAT WHEN THE DOOR OF ALLAH OPENS, IT OPENS WIDE. THUS THE ZAAKIR, BY MAKING CONSTANT ZIKR, ATTAINS A CONNECTION WITH ALLAH TA’ALA ~ MOULANA NAEEM MOTALA ~ islaah.co.za
