Remembrance is the key of happiness

Remembrance is the key of happiness

ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ

If the heart is remembering Allah, then it is a healthy heart protected by Allah from mental and psychological diseases, so he leads a good and happy life full of faith, Allah says about it in 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" 16-97

Nothing will confuse him, because the remembering heart is attached to Allah and directed by Him, when a problem attacks him, Allah inspires him the right response, the best and the most useful solution, because this heart remembers Allah.

So, O brothers, the food of the heart is remembrance of Allah.

Qur'an and psychological health

ـ

The food of the spirit is the book of Allah. A believer should have a portion of Qur'an to have a divine balance and not to be exposed to the problems of this life or attacked by mental and psychological diseases, so Allah ordered us to recite Koran during prayers. The prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to recite a lot of it in dawn prayer to charge the hearts by light and transparency from the verses of Qur'an. When hearts finish prayers after being charged by these luminous loads, it will be as Allah says:

"In order that you may not be sad over matters that you fail to get, nor rejoice because of that which has been given to you." 57-23

They become dependent upon Allah's bounty and all their matters directed by Allah, so they don't have these diseases in their lives. The companions of the messenger of Allah (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to say:

"A day in which man does not start by verses from the book of Allah, he will be troubled all day."

What can remove worry and sadness? To start the day by verses from the book of Allah to be as Allah says:

"And We are sending down from Koran that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe." 17-82

Allah didn't say We sent down, but He said (We are sending down) in the present continuous for those who recite it by deep thinking and submission to Allah. Allah sends them healing as He says in another verse:

"And a healing for that (disease of ignorance, doubt, hypocrisy and differences, etc.) in your chests, " 10-57

If we think about diseases that attack man at this time, we see that they are worries and distresses in chests, they can only be removed by the light of the book of Allah, it is what can protect man from every hardship.

When and how we recite Qur'an

When and how we recite Qur'an

ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ

We recite it in Ramadan, but after Ramadan we take a vacation to the following Ramadan as if Allah only ordered us to recite it in Ramadan!!!!! Why doesn't a Muslim always recite it?

Whoever can't recite, he can listen to it on condition that he listens carefully as Allah says

"So, when the Koran is recited, listen to it, and be silent that you may receive mercy." 7-204

A Muslim shouldn't speak with people while listening, if someone speaks with him, he should say Sadaka Allah Al-Azeem and closes the recorder or the radio.

Qur'an and insight

Koran is the food of minds, health of spirits and success of male and female believers in this life. Allah made food for all realities apparent and hidden, when a believer gives to each reality its proper right, he is directed by The King of kings (Allah), He guides him either in dream or by inspiration. He may see in his dreams as the companions of the prophet did, the prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to pray the dawn prayer with them, turns to them and ask them:

"Who saw a dream this night?" 1

Then every one tells him his dream, because they slept in clear and pure condition, so Allah took their souls to the highest kingdom to nourish them by clarity, pureness and directions that make all their lives clear, pure and away from troubles and distress. Or Allah may direct him by inspiration in his chest as Allah says:

"If you obey and fear Allah, He will grant you Furkan (a criterion to judge and realize what is right and what is wrong)," 8-29

No one could trick him because he has light to show him the way. The light of a lamp only shows bodies, but the light of The Furkan coming from Allah shows the tricks in eyes, the artifices in chests and every hidden thing in this life. Whoever sees by the light of Allah, the prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) says about him:

"Be afraid of a believer's insight, because he sees by light of Allah and utters by guidance of Allah." 2

The words that he says, no one could find them wrong to blame or punish him, why? Because Allah says:

"And they are guided (in this world) unto goodly speech and they are guided to the Path of Him Who is Worthy of all praises." 22-24

Whoever reaches this condition, he has no concern with the problems of life, sustenance, how he lives, children and how they will marry, because Allah says:

"We provide sustenance for you and for them (your children);" 6-151

RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE AND HARD WORK

Allah praised Imam Ali (may Allah be pleased with him and honor his face) to know that this is what Allah loves, when he and his wife Sayeda Fatima Az'zahraa vowed that they will fast three days for Allah if their sons Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein are recovered from illness, Allah sent them when they were fasting the three days guests who eat their food at sunset (the time of breaking fasting), so Allah says about this:
"And they give food, in spite of their love for it (or for the love of Him), to Miskeen (poor), the orphan, and the captive." (Surat Al-Insan, verse 8)
Then Allah showed the secret of loving their deed in their words:
"(Saying): We feed you seeking Allah's Countenance only. We wish for no reward, nor thanks from you." 76-9
Our master Ali used to work by his arms for wage, Islam urges this, a Muslim should work; the prophet encouraged him to do this. One day he worked for a Jewish woman, she had a well and she wanted to irrigate her land, so she called our master Ali to irrigate it and she told him that she would give him a date for every bucket he got out of the well, the well was deep, the water was far and the rope was harsh. Our master Ali got fifteen buckets and took fifteen dates and went to Sayeda Fatima, then the messenger of Allah entered, he praised him and asked him to give him from these dates he got by the labor of his hand.
It was narrated that the messenger of Allah said:
"No man ate food better than eating from his hand's labor and David the prophet of Allah was eating by his hand's labor." 1
Our youths now want to find treasures, they resort to thieves and swindlers who take their money and suddenly escape leaving everything as it is. Where are the treasures? This is cheat and theft. This happens because every one of our youths wants to be a millionaire in a moment, how come?
You should follow the way of truthful and righteous people and those who strive hard everywhere.

How DOES Islam CARE ABOUT FAMILY CORRELATION?

Islam cares about family correlations by setting rules for legal rights for all the members of the family towards each other. If one of them falls short of these rights on purpose, the law can force him to do these rights or he will be punished by law, besides social punishment represented by the gazes of despise and scorn from the people around him in the society which can be more effective than legal punishment by law.

There are also many recommendations in verses of Qur'an and Hadith of the prophet. Islam sets an important rule in this respect that makes all Muslims do what they are asked to do about family rights, the prophet (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him) said: "Be as you want ever, as you treat others you will be treated" (1).

Whoever wants his children to be kind to him, he should treat his parents kindly. Whoever wants God to grant him long age and provide him with more sustenance, he should keep relations to kinship, the prophet (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him) said: "Whoever wants to be provided with more sustenance and be remembered after his death, he should keep relations with his kinship" (2).

GOOD DEEDS AND EVIL DEEDS CAN NEVER BE EQUAL

Allah presented to us the noble method in dealing with those who insult us, He says:

"Good deed and evil deed cannot be equal"41-34

Then, what shall we do? Allah says:

"Repel (the evil) with one which is better"41-34 

What is the result? Allah says:

"Then verily! he, between whom and you there was enmity, (will become) as if he was a close friend" 41-34

This is the way of Koran revealed to the noble prophet, Muslims followed it everywhere and at all times. It is mentioned clearly many times in Koran; the first one who applied this method was the messenger of Allah.
