The Satisfaction of the Believers Heart
﷽➖➖➖
*REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH ﷻ*
➖➖➖
Allah ﷻ says in the Qur'an:
*فَٱذْكُرُونِىٓ أَذْكُرْكُمْ*
_So remember me I will remember you_.
[2:152]
Hasan Al Basri رحمه الله said this means Remember Me regarding what I have commanded you and I will remember you regarding what I have compelled Myself to do for your benefit.
_
Allah ﷻ said, _`I am as my servant expects me and I am with him as he remembers me. If he remembers me in himself, then I will remember him in myself. If he mentions me in a gathering, then I will mention him in a greater gathering. When he draws near to me by the span of his hand, I draw near him by the length of a cubit. When he draws near me by the length of a cubit, I draw near him by the length of a fathom. When he comes to me walking, I will come to him running.'_
[Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhari 6970]
_
*وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِى وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ*
_And thank me and do not be ungrateful_
[2:152]
In this Ayah, Allah ﷻ commands that He ﷻ be thanked and appreciated, and promises even more rewards for thanking Him, while being ungrateful incurs his displeasure.
_
How many times do we find ourselves forgetful of Allah ﷻ, forgetful of Islam, forgetful of Muhammad ﷺ and his Sunnah. We are so far from Allah ﷻ and His Messenger ﷺ, it is as if our hearts have become dead.
_
Just ask those who reverted to Islam.
_
They'll tell you, there was something missing in their lives before Islam, that their hearts felt spiritually dead before Islam!

سبحان الله
But yet we forget Allah ﷻ!
And Allah ﷻ will forget us!
And we will be raised on Qiyamah blind if we don't change.
As Allah ﷻ says
*وَمَنۡ أَعۡرَضَ عَن ذِكۡرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ مَعِيشَةٗ ضَنكٗا وَنَحۡشُرُهُۥ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ أَعۡمَىٰ*
_But whoever turns away from My Reminder will certainly have a miserable life, then We will raise them up blind on the Day of Judgment.”_
*قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِىٓ أَعْمَىٰ وَقَدْ كُنتُ بَصِيرًۭا*
_They will cry, “My Lord! Why have you raised me up blind, although I used to see?”_
*قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ أَتَتۡكَ ءَايَٰتُنَا فَنَسِيتَهَاۖ وَكَذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ تُنسَىٰ*
_Allah will respond, “It is so, just as Our revelations came to you and you neglected them, so Today you are neglected.”_
[20:124-126]
_
We wouldn't want this to be us and we know how to avoid it, so when will we change?
_
Ya Ibn Adam! Make your tongue wet, make your heart soft with the Dhikr of Allah!
Ya Ibn Adam!
Stay with Allah ﷻ and you won't go wrong!
_
May Allah ﷻ make us among those who constantly remember Allah ﷻ and may He grant us peace and contentment.
*آمِيْن*
