My dear daughters,
Assalamu Alaykum Wa
Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu.
Allah says in His
Pure Quran in Surah Ar-Ra’d (13: 29): 'Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of
Allah. Indeed, it is through the remembrance of Allah that hearts find peace.’
The Remembrance of
Allah (Zikrullah) is something extraordinary and sacred. It has the
power to give peace to a restless mind and soul, and give the sense of
completeness to the believer.
Remembrance of Allah uplifts the rest of the acts of worship of the believer. This is so because all acts of worship are linked to Zikrullah. We don’t have an act of worship where we don’t remember Allah and praise and glorify Him!
If a believer truly believes, then he or she
will strengthen his or her relationship with Allah first. When Allah is firmly
established in that believer’s heart, then the other prescribed and obligatory
duties as ordained by Allah through Islam becomes easy for him or her.
The beauty of
Zikrullah is that there is not a fixed time to remember Allah. When a heart
becomes immersed (profoundly plunged in) Allah, then each remembrance connects
him or her to Allah, and whenever the believer seeks divine help or succour, or
even a miracle in times of utter despair, it is verily Allah Who comes to the
rescue because of the beautiful and internal communications which His servant
maintains with Him.
That is why in this
verse, Allah says: It is through Remembrance of Allah that hearts are assured.
This reassurance proceeds from the certainty (Yaqeen) of Allah’s blessed
presence and His readiness to help His believing servant. Those who have deep
certainty in Allah achieve to great heights because then, there is no veil
between them and Allah. Allah grants them His aid, love, security from
afflictions, and if ever those afflictions touch them, they are saved therefrom
by the Divine Hand.
Therefore, my advice to you all today: remain
always connected to Allah. Disconnect from all negativities in your lives and connect
to Allah. Allah is that Powerful Energy; the Omnipresent God Who can attract
you to Him and repel all the negativities in your lives. If you are for Allah,
Allah becomes for you; your devotion and love for Him will thus propel you to
another level where everything is settled in your lives by none but the
Powerful Will of Allah.
I wish you all a very
good continuation with your Jalsa Salana, and I pray that Allah may bless each
one of you and enable you to progress to Him and vice-versa, because this is
the true aim of our coming to earth: to know Him and worship none but Him. Insha
Allah, Ameen.
Wassalaam,
Fi-Aman-Allah
