Asalamu'alaykum lovely readers,
I believe we all should use our talents for the sake of Allah. I covert my blogs into the PowerPoint presentation format to upload here and to benefit and dearest brothers and sisters in Islam & even Non-Muslims brothers & sisters. (for their info.)
Let's benefit from it and say dhikr as much as we can in our free time. Allah (SWT) has blessed us with the organ (tongue) let's use it in His remembrance.
Keep your tongue moist in the remembrance of Allah.
May you all have a blessed Ramadan. Aameen.
2. Be mindful of Allah and Allah will be
mindful of you. Remember Allah in the
times of ease and He will give you the
strength of patience in the times of
hardships. Be grateful to Allah and He
will enrich you in unimaginable ways.
Forget Allah and He will forget you and
that will be equal to living a miserable
lifestyle and your hereafter will also be
ruined. Repent! Turn back to Allah
before you return to Him.”
3. Ramadan is the best time to change the state of
our hearts and hold tight to the rope of Allah.
What best action can be done in Ramadan than
remembering our Creator Alone. Remembering
Allah doesn’t just give the inner peace but also
gives life to a diseased heart. Also, our hearts will
never find peace in the disobedience of its
Creator but in the obeying the commandments
ordained by Him. We should remember him so
that we may succeed in this Dunya and the
coming Akhirah.
Allah (SWT) says, “And remember Allah
much that you may be successful” (Surah
Al-Jumu’ah 62:10)
4. True joy isn’t found in listening to music or
watching series on Netflix but indeed it is in
the remembrance of Allah where hearts find
peace.” (Al-Qur’an 13:28).
As you will remember Allah, then tranquility
& light bestows upon you directly from the
heavens. Only Allah’s blessed words can cure
your soul & help you erase your sins and gain
endless rewards in our Book of Deeds.
5. The Prophet (SAW) said, "The similitude of
one who remembers his Rubb and one
who does not remember Him, is like that
of the living and the dead." Subhan’Allah!
What a comparison! Therefore, if we will
not remember Allah, imagine we will
indeed be a living body with a dead soul.
6. Allah (SWT) has compared those who
ponder over the creation of Allah as the
people of intelligence. He states in Surah
Surah Aal-e-Imran V-191: “People of
Intelligence are those who remember Allah,
standing, sitting, and lying down on their
sides and think deeply about the creation of
the heavens and the earth, saying: “Our
Lord! You have not created all this without
purpose, glory to You! Give us salvation
from the torment of the fire.”
7. It has been prescribed upon
us that we remember Allah
in the mornings and the
evenings as Allah says,
“O you who believe!
Remember Allah, much, and
glorify Allah in the morning
and the evening.”
(33:41-42)
8. There is a time prescribed for the dhikr of Allah; from Fajr to
sunrise and from Asr to Maghrib. Apart from this, one can
remember Allah at any time and the more you say it, it will
be your protecting guard throughout the day. Let’s follow
some simple yet beneficial & greater reward of dhikr:
Subhan’Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu’Akbar
1. Istighfar (Saying Astaghfirullah) by pondering over
your sins will help you draw closeness towards your
Maker and also increases in the provision.
2. Subha’Allaahi wa bihamdihi (Glory and praise be to
Allaah) 100 times. Whoever says that in one day will be
forgiven for his sins even if they are like the foam of the
sea. (Sahih)
9. 3. ‘Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, Subhan-Allahil-Azim’ -
The Messenger of Allah ()ﷺ said, "There are two
statements that are light for the tongue to remember,
heavy in the Scales and are dear to the Merciful:
'Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, Subhan-Allahil-Azim [Glory
be to Allah and His is the praise, (and) Allah, the Greatest
is free from imperfection]'.” (Al-Bukhari & Muslim)
4. Laa ilaaha ill-Allah – Saying Laa ilaaha ill-Allah
doesn’t require movement of the lips, it only requires the
movement of the tongue, so you can say it without
people knowing. The Prophet (SAW) said: “The best dhikr
is Laa ilaaha ill-Allah (there is no god but Allah), and the
best du‘aa’ is Al-hamdu Lillah (Praise be to Allah).”
10. 5. Laa Hawla Wala Quwwata Illah Billah (There is
neither might nor power but with Allah) – It is one of the
treasures of Paradise. (Al-Bukhari)
6. Sending blessings on the Prophet (SAW)- One can
recite the durood as many times as whoever sends
blessings upon the Prophet (SAW) once, Allah will send
blessings upon him ten times in return. (Al-Muslim)
7. After saying these dhikrs, one should continue
saying the below:
“Subhan’Allahi wa bihamdihi: ‘Adada khalqihi, wa ridhaa
nafsihi, wa zinata arshihi, wa midaada kalimaatihi.”
(Glory is to Allah and praise is to Him, by the multitude
of his creation, by His Pleasure, by the weight of His
Throne, and by the extent of His Words. (Recite 3 times)
These words bring many more times the reward for
other forms of tasbeeh and dhikr as reported in Sahih
ahadith.
11. Let’s be among the people of intelligence
who remember Allah in their mornings &
evenings and within themselves as most
of these actions will not cost you
anything; they do not require tahaarah
(purity) and they will not tire you out or
take much effort.
