Remembering Allah every day…

Posted on by

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

 

Never underestimate the power of remembering Allah, even the mere acknowledgement and awareness of Allah in our daily lives could have a positive influence on us and the people around us. Make it a habit to thank Allah everyday and Insha Allah your level of faith will increase daily. There is a reward for the act of remembering Allah (Dhikr), a reward for being grateful to Allah and the satisfaction of knowing that Allah will be there for you in times of need.

فَاذْكُرُونِي أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا لِي وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ”. البقرة

“Therefore remember Me. I will remember you. Be grateful to Me and never show Me ingratitude” – Al-Baqarah 2:152

A simple dua to make everyday:

“Oh Allah, I thank you for everything you have provided for me today, I seek your protection from all things evil and I beg your forgiveness for the sins I may have committed.”

A small prayer, a small thought, a few seconds everyday.

…and remember… “The deeds most loved by Allah are those done regularly, even if they are small.”

A little dua to ensure a righteous partner and obedient children. Recitation of this dua should also serve as a reminder for you to be a righteous partner and obedient to your parents.

رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا

Rabbana hab-lana min azwajina wathurriyyatina qurrata aAAyunin waijAAalna lilmuttaqeena imama

“Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous.”

 

…and remember… “The deeds most loved by Allah are those done regularly, even if they are small.”

Remember your parents and thank them at every opportunity. Make dua for them daily and Insha Allah you & your parents will benefit from this.

Rabbighfir lii wali-waalidayya walil-muminiina yauma yaquumul hisaab, Rabbirhamhumaa kamaa rabbayaani saghiiraa.

O Lord, forgive me, my parents and Muslims in the Hereafter. O Lord, show mercy on them as they have nourished me when I was young.

Remember your parents, thank them, make dua for them and Allah will be pleased with you. A true win-win situation.

…and remember… “The deeds most loved by Allah are those done regularly, even if they are small.”

Keeping silent during the Friday Khutbah (Sermon)

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

A short but clear Hadith highlighting the importance of silence during the Jummah Khutbah:

“If you told your friend to pay attention on Friday while the Imam is delivering the speech then you committed a sin of vain talk.”

Take heed of this Hadith and remember it when you’re at the Jummah Prayer next. Keeping quiet will allow you to benefit from the sermon and also gives you the opportunity to remember Allah. Don’t waste these opportunities by engaging in worldly matters. This is a sacrifice we can all afford to make.

The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, “Whoever takes a bath on Friday, purifies himself as much as he can, then uses his (hair) oil or perfumes himself with the scent of his house, then proceeds (for the Jummah prayer) and does not separate two persons sitting together (in the mosque), then prays as much as (Allah has) written for him and then remains silent while the Imam is delivering the Khutbah, his sins in-between the present and the last Friday would be forgiven.”

May we all benefit from this Insha Allah!

The Friday (Jummah) Prayer…

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

O ye who believe! When the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly), hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah, and leave off business: That is best for you if ye but knew!

And when the Prayer is finished, then may ye disperse through the land, and seek of the Bounty of Allah: and remember Allah frequently that ye may prosper.

Praying Jummah is and should be a high priority for all Muslims. Make a sincere intention to pray every Jummah Prayer, whether you’re at work, school or uni, make every effort to make this prayer. If you are sincere in your efforts, Allah will make it easy for you and the more effort required, the greater the reward for you Insha Allah.

…and remember… “The deeds most loved by Allah are those done regularly, even if they are small.”

Recitation of Surah Al-Kahf on Friday (Jummah)

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Friday (Jummah) Reminder:

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings  be upon him) said: ‘Whoever reads Surah al-Kahf on the day of Jumu’ah, a light will shine for him from beneath his feet to the clouds of the sky, which will shine for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will be forgiven (his sins) between the two Fridays.’”

Make it a habit to recite Surah Al-Kahf on Thursday night or Friday morning every week, if you are unable to do so, recite the first ten verses at least.

…and remember… “The deeds most loved by Allah are those done regularly, even if they are small.”
