ASSLAMALAIKUM WA REHMATULLAHI BARKATAHU
Allah (swt) says in the Qur’an:
And
when My servants ask you concerning Me, then surely I am very near; I
answer the prayer of the supplicant when he calls on Me, so they should
answer My call and believe in Me that they may walk in the right way.
(Surat al-Baqara, 2:186)”
I
recollect my teacher of local language telling us about this great
Aayah(Sign) of Allâh when I was a student at school.I had felt very deep
Qurb(closeness and nearness to Allâh) that day.
It is the same
Qurb we feel in all Sunnah A’mâl(Actions):Salâh(which includes
Qiyâm-ul-Lail(Standing in worship at night in Salâh reciting in ‘Arabi
the memorized Qur’ân),Tahajjud,Tarâweeh),Sawm(which includes
‘Aashoora,Ayyâm-ul-Abyad(The bright days:13,14,15 of the lunar Hijri
months when the beautiful full moon is the most bright) ,Fasting
,Sadaqah(Charity which essentially includes the obligatory annual
Islamic charity Zakâh),Hajj,Dhikr(which includes Tilâwah) and especially
Du’â(by Raising hands in supplication and invocation).Qurb grows and
grows with more and more A’mâl(Actions),more and more Hasanât(virtues
which are written down by Malâikah(Angels).
May Allâh cause us all to grow in His nearness,closeness and qurb everyday.
Those
moments in Dunyâ(life of this temporary,evanescent world) which pass
without Dhikr(Remembrance of Allâh by tongue and heart by Asmâ-ul-Husna
or Tasbeeh for example) are something we would miss in Jannah,May Allâh
admit us into it.
