Remembering Allah: The Beautiful Feeling of All

Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

Most people cannot remember Allah. This is because they have desires of things and these desires pull them towards those things and so they can't focus on Allah, the Creator of those things.

You can only remember Allah if you forget about what you want. Know that what you want is never part of the equation when you were created. It is what Allah wants that you should be concerned about at this point because your obedience to His guidance is your only true happiness in this life and the next.

Allah is All Powerful. He wants us to worship Him alone. He places signs on this earth so it easy for us to know Him and to remember Him.

Someone who can remember Allah without being distracted, their thoughts will be clear. Someone who does not have a clear thought, when they look at the creation of Allah, they see them as exciting, entertaining, pleasurable, or the opposite--problems, burdens, pain. But someone whose heart has been opened, when they see the creation of Allah, they will forget about themselves. They feel insignificant before the power they see before them. They will see this as a sign that point to the power, greatness, majesty and glory of Allah and so they will want to worship Him and want to do what Allah bid them to do.

People of pure understanding are those who remember Allah not only when they are standing or sitting or lying down but they remember Allah all throughout their daily lives. This was the state of the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace. His wife, Aisha, Allah be well pleased with her used to say, "He (the Prophet) used to remember Allah in all of his moments."

One of the signs that point to the power of Allah is the creation of wives for men. People who do not have a clear thought, they will see this creation as an object of pleasure and after some time, they see it as a burden. But someone whose heart has been opened, when they see their wives, they see a beautiful creation of Allah that they will feel insignificant before the power of Allah and that will drive them to worship Him.

Like every other creations of Allah, women are created to help men to worship Him. You are worshiping Him if you do what Allah bid you to do. Allah commands men to treat their wives kindly, so you treat your wife kindly--you don't oppress her and harm her in any way--or you have gone astray.

Allah Almighty says,

وَمِنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦٓ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا لِّتَسْكُنُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَّوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ﴿٢١

And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought. (21)

[Qur'an Ar-Room 30:21]

Everything around us points to the Almighty. All we need to do is to ponder and reflect upon them. If your heart is open you will grow to love Him and that is the beautiful feeling of all.

May Allah make us among the people of pure understanding. Ameen.

Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
