A thread for the rememberance of Allah (swt)


O you who believe! remember Allah, remembering frequently, (Qur'an 33/41)

[Rida]

ya hayyU ya qayYoom, Be raHmatika astagheeth

O You, the Everlasting and All-Sustainer, persisently do i invoke Your mercy

[rahma]

SubhanAllahi wa biHamdihi

Glory be to Allah and I praise Him

Whosoever says SubhanAllahi wa biHamdihi at the morning and evening times, one hundred times, none shall come on the Day of Resurrection with anything better except someone who has said the same or more (Muslim)

[rahma]

Abu Dharr al-Ghifari said: "The Messenger of Allah said: "Sadaqa is for every person every day the sun rises." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, from what do we give sadaqa if we do not possess property?" He said: "The doors of sadaqa are takbir (i.e. to say: Allahu Akbar, Allah is Greater); Subhan Allah (Allah is exalted high); al-hamdu lillah (all praise is for Allah); La ilaha illallah (there is no god other than Allah); Astaghfirullah (I seek forgiveness from Allah); enjoining good; forbidding evil.... These are all the doors of sadaqah from you which is prescribed for you, and there is a reward for you even in sex with your wife." Narrated by Ahmad and Ibn Hibban, and there is something of similar effect in Muslim.

[UmmUmayr]

Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:

"Allah Almighty has angels who travel the highways and by-ways seeking out gatherings of dhikr in the earth. When they find a gathering of dhikr, they enfold them with their wings stretching up to the heaven. Allah asks them, 'From where have you come?' They reply, 'We have come from Your slaves who are glorifying You, praising You, proclaiming Your oneness, asking of You and seeking refuge with You.' He says – and He knows better than them, 'What are they asking Me for?' They reply, 'They are asking You for the Garden.' He says, 'Have they seen it?' They reply, 'No, our Lord.' He says, 'How would it be if they were to see it?' Then He asks – and He knows better than them, 'What are they seeking refuge from?' 'From the Fire,' they reply. He asks, 'Have they seen it?' 'No,' they reply. Then He says, 'How would it be if they were to see it?' Then He says, 'I testify to you that I have forgiven them, I have given them what they ask Me for, and I given them the refuge which they ask of Me.' They say, 'Our Lord, among them is a wrongdoer who is sitting with them, but is not one of them.' He says, 'I have forgiven him as well. The one sitting with these people will not be wretched.'"

(Muslim, at-Tirmidhi, al-Hakim)



Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah Almighty has angels who travel about seeking out gatherings of dhikr. When they come to them, they encircle them."

(Al-Bazzar) Anas also reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When you come upon the meadows of the Garden, graze in them." He was asked, "What are the meadows of the Garden?" "Circles of dhikr." he replied.

[at-Tirmidhi)

[rahma]

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet said: "There are two phrases that are light on the tongue but heavy on the scale of rewards and are dear to the Gracious One. These are: subhan Allah wa bi hamdihi, "Glorified is Allah with all praise to Him," and subhan Allah al-`azim, "Glorified is Allah, the Great." (Narrated by Bukhari, Muslim, and Tirmidhi)

[Abu_Hind]

الذين آمنوا وتطمئن قلوبهم بذكر الله ألا بذكر الله تطمئن القلوب

Those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism), and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah, Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.

(surah ar-ra'ad, ayah 28)

[rahma]

Al Bayhaqi relates from ibn Umar (ra) that Allah's Messenger (saws) said: "For everything there is a polish, and the polish for the hearts is the dhikr (remembrance) of Allah. There is nothing more potent in saving a person from the punishment of Allah than the dhikr of Allah."

[rahma]

by Amina Malik

'Among his signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Adore not the sun and the moon, but adore God, who created them, if it is him ye wish to serve' Qur'an 41:37

[Rida]

Therefore remember Me.
I will remember you, and be thankful to Me (for My countless Favours on you) and never be ungrateful to Me.
[2:152]
