Importance of Zikr
Submitted by Mohammed Gilani on
Many people say, “We don’t know where these Buzrugs get their
energy from”. It is actually the Zikr of Allah.
Unfortunately,
that which is most important and easy is most neglected.
Zikr has to be done in a proper manner. Our Sheikh (Rahmatullahi alayh) says,
“Many people make Zikr throughout their lives yet they never reach
the shore (of the love of Allah Ta'ala), as their Zikr is void of the love of
Allah, and carried out without concentration.”
FOLLOWING THE PRESCRIPTION
If a person goes for treatment to hospital, he is given medication
and even shown how to take the medication. However, he does
not take their advice but ignores them. If he happens to return to
the doctor after a few months with the same problem, and
informs the doctor that he did not take the medication as
prescribed, the doctor will be upset; with the result the patient
will not be cured.
Similarly Zikrullah is the prescription to our illnesses; it is
therefore absolutely important that we engage in Zikr
regularly. May Allah Ta'ala grant us the realisation.
