ISLAM 101: Spirituality in Islam: Part 32

Dhikr (Recitation of God’s Names)

Literally meaning mentioning, remembrance, and recollection, in the speech of the Sufis dhikr denotes regular recitation of one or some of God’s Names in the same recitation session. Some spiritual or Sufi orders prefer to recite: Allah (the proper Name of the Divine Being); others recite: There is no god but God, the declaration of Divine Unity; and others recite one or a few of the other Names according to the choice of the order’s master. Like thankfulness, such recitation is a duty of servanthood to be performed both verbally and actively, and also with one’s heart and other faculties of conscience. Verbal recitation ranges from mentioning God Almighty with all His Beautiful Names and sacred Attributes; praising, exalting, and glorifying Him; proclaiming one’s helplessness and destitution before Him in prayer and supplication; reciting and following His Book (the Qur'an); and voicing His signs in nature and the seal special to Him on each thing and event.

Recitation by the faculties of conscience, primarily the heart, consists of reflecting on the proofs of His Existence and Unity, and His Names and Attributes radiating in the book of creation (the universe); meditating on His orders and prohibitions, His promises and threats, and the reward and punishment issuing from His Lordship to design or order our lives; and trying to penetrate the mysteries behind the veil of visible existence by studying creation and following certain spiritual disciplines. In addition, one repeatedly observes the heavenly beauties manifested as a result of such instances of penetration; and thinks that whatever exists in the universe pulses with messages from the high empyrean world, manifesting the meaning of the invisible world and functioning as a window upon the Truth of Truths.

Those who feel this constant pulsing existence, hear the invisible world speaking eloquently, and observe the manifestations of Grace and Majesty through those windows are so enraptured with such unimaginable spiritual pleasure that one hour spent with such pleasure is equal to hundreds of years spent without it. As a result, they advance along their way to eternity lost in Divine gifts and spiritual delight. When the one reciting feels the light of His Glorified Face surrounding all existence, he or she is rewarded with the sight of indescribable scenes and, becoming aware of all other beings reciting God’s Names in its own tongue, begins to mention Him with many of His Names.

Reciting God’s Names sometimes causes the reciter to enter a trance-like state in which one’s self is lost. Those who enter this entranced state or ecstatic contemplation utter such phrases as: There is no existent save He, There is nothing seen save He, and There is no god but God. There are others who, meaning and keeping in mind all Divine Names according to the inclusiveness of their consciousness, pronounce only save God and continue to declare His Unity. These seconds spent in this atmosphere of nearness to God and His company, the seconds of light and radiance, are much happier and more rewarding with respect to eternal life (in the Hereafter) than years spent with no light. This is what is referred to in a saying attributed to the Prophet, upon him be peace and blessings: I have a time with my God when neither any angel nearest to God nor any Prophet sent as Messenger can compete with me. [1]

Active or bodily recitation consists in practicing religion with utmost care, enthusiastically performing all obligations, and consciously refraining from all prohibitions. Verbal profundity and awareness largely depend on active recitation, which also means knocking on the door of Divinity, searching for admittance, proclaiming one’s helplessness and destitution, and taking refuge in Divine Power and Wealth.

One who regularly and intensively mentions God or recites one or some of His Names is taken under His protection and supported by Him, as if having made a contract with Him. The verse: Remember and mention Me, and I will remember and mention you (2:152) expresses this degree of recitation, by which one’s innate destitution becomes the source of wealth, and helplessness the source of power. This verse also means that one’s regular remembrance and worship of God will result in His bestowal of favors and bounties.

Invoking and calling upon Him bring forth His favors. One who remembers Him even while going about his or her daily affairs and preoccupations will find all obstacles removed in both this world and the next. His company will always be felt, and He will befriend one left alone and in need of friendship. If one remembers and mentions Him during times of ease and comfort, His Mercy will reach one during times of trouble and pain. Those who struggle in His way to spread His Name will be saved from humiliation in both this world and the Hereafter. Such sincere endeavors will be rewarded with special favors and ranks that one cannot now imagine.

The desire to mention Him and recite His Names will be rewarded with Divine help, so that such activities can continue and guidance can be increased. The continuation of the second part of the above verse (2:152), that is: Give thanks to Me and do not show ingratitude to Me, suggests a virtuous circle in which a believer passes from recitation to thankfulness, and from thankfulness to recitation.

Recitation is the essence of all types or acts of worship, and the origin of this essence is the Qur'an. Then come the luminous, celebrated words of the Prophet, to whom the Islamic Shari'a was sent. All recitation, whether audible or silent, attracts and embodies the manifestations of the light of God’s Glorified “Face.” It also denotes proclaiming God to all human beings and jinn, and spreading His Name throughout the world in order to show one’s thankfulness for His manifest and hidden favors. When there is almost no one left to proclaim His Name, existence will be meaningless. According to the Prophet, upon him be peace and blessings, the universe’s total destruction will take place when there exist almost no people to proclaim His Name. [2]

Recitation, irrespective of its style, is the safest and soundest way leading to God. Without it, it is difficult to reach God. When the traveler remembers Him in his or her conscience and puts this remembrance into words with his or her tongue and other faculties, an inexhaustible source of support and (spiritual) provision is tapped.

Recitation signifies a journey toward Him. When one starts to mention Him or recites His Names both verbally and through feelings and actions, as well as in one’s heart as a chorus, one enters a mysterious lift ascending to the realm where spirits fly. Through the slightly opened doors of the heavens, indescribable scenes are beheld.

There is not a specific time for reciting God’s Names. Although the five prescribed daily prayers, the chief act of worship, are performed at the five appointed times and cannot be performed at certain times (e.g., during sunrise and sunset, and when the Sun is at zenith at noon), a believer can mention God and recite His Names whenever he or she wishes: They mention God standing, sitting, and lying down (3:190). There is no restriction of time or manner on reciting God’s Names.

It is hard to find in the Qur'an, the Sunna, and the books of the early righteous scholars anything more strongly recommended than the recitation God’s Names. From daily prayers to holy struggle in His way, it is like the soul or blood of all worship. The profundity of recitation is proportional to the depth of feeling for God. Sufis call this “peace of heart” or" witnessing.“

Some mention God Almighty and reach Him in their hearts by a mysterious way; others know Him by their conscience and feel His constant company by means of the point of reliance upon Him and seeking His help in their inner worlds. Since they remember Him uninterruptedly, always mention Him with their heart and conscience, always feel Him in their being, and live fully aware of His constant Presence, they regard mentioning Him (verbally) as heedlessness and ignorance of Him. One who has reached this degree of dhikr says: God knows that I do not remember Him to mention Him just now. How should I remember and mention Him now, seeing that I have never forgotten Him?

[1] Al-‘Ajluni, Kashf al-Khafa’, 2:173. [2] Muslim, “Iman,” 234.

بلاشبہ صبر اور نماز ہر اللہ والے کیلئے دو بڑے ہتھیارہیں؛ نماز کے ذریعے سے ایک مومن کا رابطہ و تعلق اللہ تعالیٰ سے استوار ہوتا ہے جس سے اسے اللہ تعالیٰ کی تائید اور نصرت حاصل ہوتی ہے اور صبر کے ذریعے کردار میں پختگی اور دین میں استقامت حاصل ہوتی ہے۔ مصیبت و پریشانی کی حالت میں صبر اور نماز کو اپنا شعار بنانے کا حکم دیا گیا ہے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ کی یاد میں جس قدر طبیعت مصروف ہو اسی قدر دوسری پریشانیاں خود بخود کم ہوجاتی ہیں۔ مکمل مضمون پڑھنے کے لیے نیچے دیے گئے لنک پر کلک کریں۔

BASICS OF ISLAM : Allah ( God Almighty ) : How should we understand the verse, “Had the Qur’an been from any other than God, they would surely have found in it much incoherence or inconsistency”? ”

No human being has been able to find a defect in the Qur’an and they never will be able to do so.

Nothing contrary to pure reason, true science or human psychology has been or will be found in the messages of the Qur’an, in the excellent and universal legal principles it contains, nor in its commands and prohibitions which it introduces for perfect individuals and societies. The Qur’an would not be a miraculous, unique Book if it were not the Word of God.

On the contrary, some parts of it would have been great, some parts defective, some parts would have been acceptable and other parts objectionable. If we take into account the numerous explanations within so many different frames of references then we can understand that the totality and textual integrity of the Qur’an could not have been achieved in any other way.

The Qur’an would also have suffered from many defects, such as natural compulsions, idealistic constraints, carnal and selfish desires and tendencies that were not aimed at any justice or benevolence or any truthful way of thinking.

The non-contradictory style and internal coherence of the Qur’an constitute a dominant aspect of this uniqueness.

Human words contain many imperfect features, such as meanness, defeatism, a variety of weaknesses, sloth or a lack of insight and intelligence. Inconsistency is another important human feature which makes itself apparent in a number of situations. All such are features, which are obvious in human speech, actions and deeds, whether the person be a literati, an artist, a politician or a military commander, are easily recognizable in any human artistic action, be it practical or artistic. All such features are the result of human inconsistency. In contrast to these we are presented with the miraculous integrity and harmony that are features peculiar to the Qur’an.

The Qur’an carries the seal of divine artistry and thus indicates the Supreme Artist and His works, unchanging from moment to moment, displaying no relativity.

There is too great a difference between divine and human art; it cannot be measured. Moreover, there is no human world view, there is no school of teaching that does not suffer from such deficiencies of limited perception, or which is not influenced by worldly problems or the inability to see contradictions in views, teachings or styles of action.

Also, there has been no human world view or school of thought that has not been criticized by later generations; the human way of thinking is not capable of taking into consideration all the distinct features of personality, numbering in the hundreds or even thousands, which stem from our capacity to perceive our own needs. Hence, such schools of thought are incapable of taking into account every aspect of human personality. But the Qur’an has none of the above-mentioned defects as it was revealed by God, the All-Knowing.

God Almighty informs us that He has sent down the Qur’an free from conflict or contradiction. This is why God says,

“Do they not meditate earnestly on the Qur’an, or are there locks on the hearts (that are particular to them so that they are as if deaf and blind, and incapable of understanding the truth)? ” (Muhammad 47:24),

i.e. would we not have found many conflicts, contradictions, inconsistencies and the like in the Qur’an if it had been produced by a human being? Whereas, the Qur’an is free of all such deficiencies, for it was sent down by God. As stated above, although the Qur’an was revealed in parts over a period of 23 years, on different occasions at different times and locations, it has perfect harmony; the parts are so united and harmonious with one another that it is as if the Qur’an had been revealed on one occasion all at once. Although the Qur’an was revealed in answer to different questions and upon a variety of circumstances, its parts are so consistent, in agreement with each other and mutually supportive that it is as if it had been revealed in answer to one question and revealed at one time.

All these definitely prove that the Qur’an is the Word of God.

Sunan an Nasa’i: The Book of Qiyam Al-Lail (The Night Prayer) and Voluntary Prayers During the Day, Book 20, Hadith 1781

It was narrated from Abu Salamah that :

He asked Aishah about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) at night. She said: "He used to pray thirteen rak'ahs. He would pray eight rak'ahs then pray witr, then pray two rak'ahs sitting down. When he wanted to bow he would stand and bow, and he prayed two rak'ahs between the adhan and iqamah of subh prayer.

DAILY DUA

Dua and remembrance to be said at any time #10

اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ، وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْجُبْنِ، وَالْبُخْلِ، وَالْهَرَمِ، وَعَذَابِ، الْقَبْرِ

اللهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا، وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا، أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلَاهَا،

اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ، وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ، وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ، وَمِنْ دَعْوَةٍ لَا يُسْتَجَابُ لَهَا

Translation

O Allah, I seek refuge with You from weakness, and laziness, cowardice and miserliness, old and infirm age, and the torment of the grave.

O Allah, give my soul piety and purify it, for indeed You are the best of those who can purify it, You are it's Guardian and Master.

O Allah, I seek refuge with You from knowledge that does not benefit, from a heart that does not get humbled [to Allah], from a soul which is never satisfied and from a supplication which does not get answered.

How a Muslim women should behave if some Muslim man teasing her just for fun, sending rubbish mails and bad words just for enjoyment?

It is forbidden to disturb not only Muslims but also non-Muslims. Therefore, it is a violation of Allah's and human's rights to disturb a Muslim lady out of fun and to injure her integrity and honor. Those who have done that should both repent and ask the injured person for forgiveness. Otherwise, in the Hereafter, the rightful will receive their dues rightfully:

Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings upon him) said: Do you know who is poor? They (the Companions of the Prophet) said: A poor man amongst us is one who has neither dirham with him nor wealth.

He (the Prophet) said: The poor of my Ummah (community) would be he who would come on the Day of Resurrection with prayers and fasts and Zakat but (he would find himself bankrupt on that day as he would have exhausted his funds of virtues) since he hurled abuses upon others, brought calumny against others and unlawfully consumed the wealth of others and shed the blood of others and beat others, and his virtues would be credited to the account of one (who suffered at his hand). And if his good deeds fall short to clear the account, then his sins would be entered in (his account) and he would be thrown in the Hell-Fire. (Muslim, Birr, 59)

In this case, a Muslim woman should possess the dignity and maturity fitting a Muslim lady; should not cast doubt with her behaviors, actions and posture; and if need be, she should notify the authorities.

Alhamdulillah 4amClub day 6 hari ini Allah izinkan akak sertai sekali. Banyak perkongsian ilmu yang dapat akak pelajari. Best sangat topik hari ini tentang Formula Penting Menghafal Al-Quran. Teknik-teknik simple tapi sangat padu. 6 Syarat Penting Sebelum Menghafal Al-Quran adalah: 1) Terasa Bahagia. Mesti rasa bahagia nak menghafal Al-Quran. Berbunga-bunga cinta gitu kan, barulah apa cabaran pun mudah nak tempohi. 2) Banyakkan minum air putih agar memudahkan oksigen cukup dalam tubuh badan kita. 3) Memilih waktu yang sesuai untuk menghafal Al-Quran. 4) Memilih rempat yang sesuai untuk menghafal Al-Quran. 5) Memilih guru yang sesuai. 6) Memilih Mushaf Al-Qurab yang sesuai dengan kita. 5 Formula Penting Sebelum Menghafal Al-Quran adalah: 1) Persiapan Psikologi / mental (mesti dalam keadaan tenang dan bersedia nak menghafal, bukan main hentam semborono jer nak menghafalkan) 2) Membayangkan / Mengimaginasikan 3) Pemanasan otak 4) Fokus / Perhatiab 5) Pernafasan (mesti jaga ini untuk melancarkan process penghafalan). Sangat digalakkan kita melibatkan diri dalam aktiviti sukan memanah bagi meningkatkan tahap fokus otak. 5 Tips hafalan Al-Quran adalah: 1) Mencukupi 6 syarat yang ada tadi. 2) Tentukan halaman / muka surat yang nak dihafalkan. 3) Lakukan teknik pernafasan tadi 4) Apabila ayat panjang berhenti ditanda wakaf. 5) Tetapi jika ayat pendek, terus sekali nafas sahaja baca. Perkongsian dari Coach Jaz: 1) Fikirkan cara untuk tingkatkan amalan kita. 2) Masa yang ada untuk raih pahala sangat singkat jadi kita fikirkan macam mana nak gandakan sebanyak yang boleh. 3) Setiap orang ada kelebihan diri masing-masing yang kita boleh share dan bantu yang lain. 4) Sentiasa fikirkan apa sumbangan yang kita boleh bagi pada masyarakat. Bukan setakat nak terima jer, fikir apa kita boleh bagi. Ayat sangat win yang akak suka ini: Buat kekayaan untuk membuat kebaikan atau memberi kembali pada ummah. Semoga perkongsian ini dapat memberi manfaat pada sahabat akak sekalian. Amin. Jom kita teruskan istiqomah membuat kebaikan pasti kasih sayang melimpah ruah hadir dalam hidupmu semua. Amin. #4amclub #madadcentre #coachIzaBakar https://www.instagram.com/p/COm3_qgj0px/?igshid=9tgynwhjbg73
