Is There A Caller?

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends,

I pray that you are well.

Allah hears everything and His hearing covers everything. Whether you say or do something in secret or in the open, Allah hears them.

"It is the same (to Him) whether any of you conceal his speech or declare it openly; whether he lie hid by night or walk forth freely by day." Qur'an Ra'd 13:10

Relationship is communication. Our communication with Allah is to call upon Him. The connection between a slave and His Lord is that the slave knows his Lord hears him. The slave who knows his Lord hears everything, he speaks to Him a lot. He doesn't cease talking to Allah wherever he is.

"Verily, Allah gives respite until when the first third of the night departs, He descends to the lowest heaven and says, "Is there a seeker of forgiveness? Is there a repenter? Is there an asker? Is there a caller? until the break of the dawn." Related by Muslim

Imagine that you have a very rich man walking next to you and ask you to tell him what you want and that he would give it to you. You would tell him what you want. Why? Because he is going to listen to you.

This is your Lord, the All-Hearing. He created you to speak to Him. He created your lips to speak to Him. And everyday He asks, is there anyone asking, so He can answer. So ask Allah for everything. Even when you tie a shoelace, ask Him to help you to tie the other shoelace. This is the way of the knower of Allah. They ask Allah for everything because they know He hears them and they know He is the All-Powerful and they are the all needy. This knowledge pushed them to talk to Allah a lot and to ask Allah a lot.

Allah knows when we have been wronged, mistreated or oppressed. Our knowledge of the All-Hearing gives us strength. We know that we don't have to file a complaint with someone because the One who we want to complain to knows what is happening. We don't worry about revenge and defending ourselves because Allah sees and hears those who are wronging us. We suffice ourselves with Allah.

Allah hears us when we call upon Him. So we too must hear when He orders us. The way of the believer is we hear and we obey. Allah gives us hearing to hear His address and to hasten to His worship. We listen to Allah through the revelation. So the hearing that we have is the hearing of obedience to Allah, not the hearing of sound waves. Hearing is the greatest gift that Allah bestows on a person. So use
this blessing to listen to the Qur'an and guidance.

May Allah give us strength to obey Him. Ameen. Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
