Remembrance is the spirit of heart
The food of
the heart as Allah said is:
"Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest."
(Surat Ar'ra'd, verse 28)
By
remembering Him in prayers as Allah says:
"Then
when the (Jomaa) prayer is
finished, you may disperse through the land, and seek the Bounty of Allah (by
working, then another time:), and remember Allah much," (Surat Al-Jomaa, verse 10)
A Muslim
remembers Allah in prayer, before it and after it, he remembers Him in the
obligatory duties and also in Nawafel until he becomes as Allah says:
"And the men and the women who remember Allah much (with their hearts
and tongues)" (Surat Al-Ahzab, verse 35)
Remembrance
protects man from every grief and it is the protective serum from worries,
sorrow and distress, Allah says about this:
"And
whoever turns away (blinds himself) from the remembrance of the Most
Beneficent (Allah), We appoint for him Satan (a devil) to be an
intimate companion to him." (Surat Az'zukhrof, verse 36)
This
Satan will get him grief, make him fears poverty and put him in troubles,
because he doesn't remember Allah, he is far from the legislation of Allah and
doesn't do what Allah loves and satisfied by. But that who remembers Allah, you
see that Allah is nearer to him than his own self, whenever a quandary, dilemma
or trouble come to him, Allah will save, relieve, comfort and help him because
he remembers Allah.
The man who
left his people because he was angry with them, he boarded the sea and then the
wind blew very strong, then people on board the ship said that there is an
escapee on board, and that they should draw lots to through a man in the sea so
that the wind may calm down. The lot went to that man and they threw him in the
sea, just then a whale swallowed him, Allah says about him:
"Had
he not been of them who glorify Allah. He would have indeed
remained inside its belly (of the whale)
till the Day of Resurrection." (Surat As'safat, verses
143, 144)
What saved
him? The remembrance of Allah, he was our sir Yunos (upon him and also our
prophet, the best pray and the most perfect peace), the greatest beloved (May
the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:
"Allah
inspired to the whale: I didn't make Yunos a food for you, but I made your
belly as a prison to him, so don't break his bones."[1]
Although
the stomach of the whale almost digests everything it swallows, it is even said
that it digests iron; Allah stops it from causing him any harm because our sir
Yunos said to Allah:
He didn't say La Ilaha Illa Howa, but he
addressed Allah (Glory to Him) at the degree of observation the degree of
benevolence, he said:
"La Ilaha Illa Anta, Glorified (and Exalted)
are You, Truly, I have been of the wrong-doers.
So We answered his call, and relieved him from the distress."
Only him? No, but Allah says:
"And thus We do relieve the believers."
(Surat Al-Al-Ambeya, verses 87, 88)
I.e.
believers have the same decision, the prophet said:
"There
is no deed for man to save him from Allah's punishment better than the
remembrance of Allah."[2]
If we
mention examples in details, it will take so long to mention what was narrated
after the noble companions and the prophets (upon them and our prophet, the
best pray and the most perfect peace). That who remembers Allah by his heart,
he gives life to his heart by the remembrance of Allah, if the heart is alive
by the remembrance of Allah, it won't be stricken by any worry, grief, nervousness,
tension or strain.
What we
have mentioned is the cause of all modern diseases people suffer from, if the
heart is remembering Allah, then it is a healthy heart protected by Allah from
these mental and psychological diseases, so he leads a good and happy life full
of faith, Allah says about it in the verses of the Koran:
"Whoever
works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer, verily, to him We will
give a good life " (Surat
An'nahl, verse 97)
Nothing
will confuse him, because the remembering heart is attached to Allah and
directed by Him, when a problem attacks him, Allah inspired him by the correct,
the best and the most useful solution, because this heart remembers Allah.
So, O
brothers, the food of the heart is remembrance of Allah.
