Do
Zikr!
Want
to maintain a remembrance of Allah (swt)? Perform Zikr! Make your tongue a
tireless reminder of His presence.
Abdullah
bin Busr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: One of the
Companions said, “O Messenger of Allah, there are many injunctions of Islam for
me. So tell me something to which I may hold fast.” He said, “Keep your tongue wet
with the remembrance of Allah.” [At-Tirmidhi]
How
Your Tongue Helps You Remember
If
you want to remember Allah (swt) the tongue will help you.
Imagine
that you’re walking down the street doing zikr of Allah (swt), for example,
you’re saying, “Subhana Allah, subhana Allah, subhana Allah . . .” A new car
passes by. Your eyes are attracted to the car and your brain goes with the car.
You even forget you’re doing zikr!
But
if you keep doing zikr with your tongue your brain will eventually be reminded.
At least one benefit of doing zikr is that it ensures that your mind will come
back to the remembrance of Allah (swt) again and again. Ad the good news is
that your tongue never gets tired! Your tongue will never experience pain from
too much zikr.
