The Importance of Zikrullah in the Life of a Believer

bismillahh
…

Our heart continuously  accumulates filth ~

sins, vice, evil, malice, jealousy, anger, enmity etc

and hence becomes rusted …

All these things ‘cover and engulf our heart’.

Just like any machinary in this world requires regular servicing, cleaning and oiling …

so to, does our rusted and corroded heart need cleansing, purifying and oiling, with the Zikr of Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta’ala.

An effective method of servicing our heart, is the Zikr of the Kalimah “La ilaaha illAllah”

….

When we say “La ilaaha“, 

We are removing everything that has engulfed our heart, besides Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta’ala …

…

And, when we say “illAllah” …

We fill our heart Only with Allah

…

We have a tongue that is saying Allah

Imagine …

our hearts to have a tongue, which is saying Allah

‘together with our tongue.’

…

…

Zikrullah is very powerful and effective in helping us to remain away from Nafs and shaytaan

May Allah protect us and make us true Zaakireen…

Make Istighfaar in Abundance ~ Seek the Forgiveness of Allah

Excerpts from ~ Ramadaan 1434 Programmes 

bismillahh

Ponder on what type of life do we want to enjoy? A heedless life of committing sinful haraam acts or a life of taqwa and piety? … When we are weak and feeble in our obedience to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, the word Taqwa (piety) that we so often hear, seems so difficult to attain … However, when we decide to take that baby step towards Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, He will most definitely come running towards us! … Through regular Taubah (repentance) and Istighfaar (seeking forgiveness), one can gain the enjoyment of Taqwa… [Moulana Naeem Motala – Daamat Barakaatuhum]

Rasulullah Sallalahu alayhi wa Sallam used to recite :

أستغفرالله ~ Astagfirullah (I seek forgiveness of Allah)

at least 100 times a day.

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، رضى الله عنه عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏:‏ مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يَأْوِي إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيمَ الَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَىَّ الْقَيُّومَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ. ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ ذُنُوبَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ

Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas Radiyallahu Anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said: “The one who [regularly] says Istighfaar,  Allah Azza Wa-Jal will open a path for him from all difficulties, remove him from all sorrow, and grant him sustenance from unimagined and unexpected sources.” ~ [Abu Dawud]

A person who says :

أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيمَ الَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْْقَيُّومُ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ

“Astaghfirullah al-’Azeem al-lazi la ilaha illa Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyum wa atubu ilaih ”

 [I seek the forgiveness of Allah the Mighty, Whom there is none worthy of worship except Him, The Living, The Eternal, and I repent unto Him] … even if he has committed sins as much as the the foam of an ocean, still he will be forgiven. [Abu Dawud- 2:85/ Tirmidhi 5:569]

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم 

مَنْ لَزِمَ الاِسْتِغْفَارَ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ هَمٍّ فَرَجًا وَمِنْ كُلِّ ضِيقٍ مَخْرَجًا وَرَزَقَهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لاَ يَحْتَسِبُ ‏‏

Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas Radiyallahu Anhu narrated that Rasullulah Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam said : The one who (regularly) says Istighfaar, then Allah Ta’ala

How Much of Zikrullah do we Make Daily?

Excerpts from ~ Ramadaan 1434 Programmes

bismillahh

…

Allah Taala has created us so that we make His ibaadat and we remember Him.
The true believing men and the believing woman make the Zikr of Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta’ala in abundance. 

Although it is such a simple ibaadat, how much of it do we
engage in daily? 

May Allah grant us the Taufeeq of bringing the Zikr of Allah alive in our homes and lives. Our tongues must become moist in the Zikr of Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta’ala …

…

When we make the Zikr of Allah, we should ponder over the Greatness of Allah, the Kindness of Allah, that Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful …

Allah loves us!

Allah has created us…

He is our Khaaliq … We are his Makhlooq …

Allah is Raaziq … We are Murzooq …

We must bring in our hearts the Greatness of Allah …

The Azmat of Allah … The Kibriyaa of Allah …

La ilaha illallah ~ لا اله الا الله

How powerful this Kalimah is ~ There is no Deity worthy of worship but Allah!

~

When we say ‘La ilaha’ we negate everything else besides Allah …

There is none worthy of worship besides Allah. Remove everything else from our hearts.

The malice we have … The anger we have … The jealousy we have …

The love for haraam we have in our hearts that has caused our hearts to become blackened and corroded!

When we say : “illAllah” then, fill in our hearts Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta’ala and imagine that Noor is entering our hearts right from the Arsh of Allah, and all our sins are being washed away!

May Allah Ta’ala make us true Zaakireen and Shaakireen
