How Much Do You Remember Allah Today?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate

The Quran is a way to remember Allah, and those who remember Allah will feel more connected to Allah and that is a great feeling. The more you read Quran, the more you will want to do it.

If someone wants tranquility and peace of heart, he should read the Quran. His heart will find comfort on the side of Allah, become restful when He is remembered and pleased to have Him as his Protector and Supporter.

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ ٱلْقُلُوبُ ﴿٢٨

those who believe and whose hearts find comfort in the remembrance of Allah -- surely in the remembrance of Allah hearts can find comfort. (28) [Quran, Ar-Ra'd 13:28]

Allah remembers those who remember Him, as He mentions in the Quran,

فَٱذْكُرُونِىٓ أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِى وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ

So remember Me; I will remember you. Be thankful to Me and do not be ungrateful. [Quran, Al Baqarah 2:152]

Reading the Quran is a form of worship that we should seek to increase in our daily lives. There should be a portion of our daily lives devoted to reading the Quran, memorizing the Quran, understanding the meanings o the Quran, and teaching the Quran to others, whether it be to your children, to your relatives, to your friend, or to your spouse.

In Surah Az-Zukhruf, Allah calls the Quran dhikr (reminder, remembrance) for the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) and for anybody who claims to be part of his ummah (nation). Allah Most High says,

فَٱسْتَمْسِكْ بِٱلَّذِىٓ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ صِرَ‌ٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ﴿٤٣﴾ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَذِكْرٌ لَّكَ وَلِقَوْمِكَ ۖ وَسَوْفَ تُسْـَٔلُونَ ﴿٤٤﴾

So, hold fast to the Book that has been revealed to you, you are surely on the right path, (43) it is certainly a reminder to you and to your people and you will soon be called to account. (44) [Quran, Zukhruf 43:43-44]

All of us will be asked how much we remember Allah through the Quran--how much did you even try to memorize it, to recite it, to remember its teachings when you are put to test.

May Allah give us the strength to read Quran everyday, memorize it, learn it, and teach it only for His sake, and grant us a sound understanding of the Quran. Ameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.

And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.
