ESSENCE OF REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAAH
By
Ibn Abdillah As-sudaisiy Al-Iloori
Nothing cleanses the mind better than remembrance of Allaah through recitation of the Qur'an (and pondering over its meanings), solaat (fard and nawaafil), listening to lectures or reading the books of real scholars and several other forms of adhkaar of the Rosul صلى الله عليه وسلم. All acts of goodness moves a servant close to Allaah.
Nothing corrupts the mind better than shirk, bid'ah, music, unguarded utterances, gazing at unlawful things, and perpetration of many other sins of kabaair nature. All evil acts drive a servant away from Allaah and His precious angels. It is often difficult to leave sins when someone is deeply rooted in it. But with much efforts and true love for Allaah, it will be easy. Allaah says;
ÙŠَا Ø£َÙŠُّÙ‡َا الَّØ°ِينَ آمَÙ†ُوا اذْÙƒُرُوا اللَّÙ‡َ Ø°ِÙƒْرًا ÙƒَØ«ِيرًا، ÙˆَسَبِّØُوهُ بُÙƒْرَØ©ً ÙˆَØ£َصِيلًا، Ù‡ُÙˆَ الَّØ°ِÙŠ ÙŠُصَÙ„ِّÙŠ عَÙ„َÙŠْÙƒُÙ…ْ ÙˆَÙ…َÙ„َائِÙƒَتُÙ‡ُ Ù„ِÙŠُØ®ْرِجَÙƒُÙ…ْ Ù…ِÙ†َ الظُّÙ„ُÙ…َاتِ Ø¥ِÙ„َÙ‰ النُّورِ ۚ ÙˆَÙƒَانَ بِالْÙ…ُؤْÙ…ِÙ†ِينَ رَØِيمًا
"O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance, and exalt Him morning and afternoon. It is He who confers blessing upon you, and His angels [ask Him to do so] that He may bring you out from darknesses into the light. And ever is He, to the believers, Merciful" [Q33:41]
May Allah include us among the dhaakireen
