 MissionIslam.com: 10 Steps to Draw Closer to Allah

It should be the desire of every Muslim to draw nearer and closer to

Almighty Allah the most compassionate and the most merciful. By drawing closer
and near to Allah we gain his help in every aspect of our lives in this world and to
be merciful to us so that we may gain mercy in the hereafter in order to enter
Jannah in the next world.
When we call upon him he would answer our calls and when we ask of him
for anything he would give it to us and when we draw nearer to him then our
sincerity and intentions will enable us to become closer to him.
So we should strive to draw nearer to Allah, the Glorified the Exalted, who
is the majesty of honour and generosity and the giver of peace, the most high and
the most honoured.
So what can we do to draw closer to him? The following are 10 steps for us
to draw closer to our Almighty Allah:

1. Fulfilling obligatory duties and abstaining from prohibited matters

The Prophet (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) has guided us. And
Allah, the Glorified and the Exalted, has guided us how to draw near to Him. As He
said According to Hadith Qudsi:
“Whoever draws near to Me among those drawn near by fulfilling what I
4
Page

have made obligatory on them….

 You do not draw near to Allah except by fulfilling the obligatory duties
which Allah has made obligatory on you; (that is) the obligatory duties from the
obligatory duties (Faraid) such as Prayers, and Zakat (obligatory charity), and Hajj,
and Fasting and being good to Parents and all these obligatory duties on you draw
you near to Allah, the Glorified and the Exalted. And the faraid (obligatory duties)
are the first things that draw you near to Allah. You do not reach the door of
nearness nor do you reach to the presence of nearness except by fulfilling the
obligatory duties. This is the first thing that draws you near to Allah, the Glorified
and the Exalted, and you are in His Presence.

So the first thing we need to do is fulfil ALL of our obligatory duties and
abstain from that which Allah and his messenger have forbidden us from.
2. Nawafil prayers (superogatory prayers)
Allah says in Hadith Qudsi:
….and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil
(voluntary deeds) until I love him, so I become his sense of hearing with which he
hears, and his sense of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he grips,
and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me, I will give him, and if he asks
My Protection, I will protect him..." [Bukhari]

A Source of Elevation for you

The Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Ask (anything)." Rabi'ah
said: "I ask of you to be your companion in paradise." The Prophet said: “Anything
else?" Rabi'ah said: "That is it." The Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) said to
him: "Then help me by making many prostrations (i.e., supererogatory prayers)."
[Muslim]
Tahajjud
Allah Most High said, “Establish worship at the going down of the sun until
the dark of the night, and (the recital of) the Qur’an at dawn. Lo! (the recital of)
5

the Qur’an at dawn is ever witnessed. And some part of the night awake for its
Page
recital, as voluntary worship for you. It may be that your Lord will raise you to a
praised estate.” [Qur’an, 17: 78-79]
Abu Hurayra (Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of
Allah (blessings and peace be upon him, his family, and companions) said, “The
best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer.” [Muslim]
Abu Umama al-Bahili (Allah be pleased with him) reports that the
Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace be upon him, his family, and
companions) said, “Hold fast to night prayer, for it was the way of the righteous
before you, a way of drawing closer to your Lord, an expiation for wrong deeds,
and a shield from sin.” [Tirmidhi, and others] In some narrations, there is an
addition, “And it repels sickness from the body.”
And because night vigil time is the best of times for voluntary worship and
prayer, and the closest a servant is to his Lord.
So let us make the habit of reading as many Nawafil prayers as we can for
more prayers means more prostrations and one is truly the closest to Allah in
prostration.
….bow down in prostration and bring yourself the closer (to Allah)." (96:19)

3. Zikr (remembrance of Allah) and glorification of Allah

"…Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest." (13:28)
Remembrance of Allah indeed is the greatest virtue.(29:46).
O ye who believe, remember Allah much. And glorify Him morning and
evening (33:42-43)
Remembrance of Allah is the foundation of all good deeds. Whoever
succeeds in it is blessed with the close friendship of Allah. That is why the
Prophet, peace be upon him, used to make remembrance of Allah at all times.
When a man complained, "The laws of Islam are too heavy for me, so tell me
something that I can easily follow," the Prophet told him, "Let your tongue be
always busy with the remembrance of Allah." [Ahmad].
6
Page
 Remembrance of Allah the best of deeds
The Prophet, peace be upon him, would often tell his Companions, "Shall I
tell you about the best of deeds, the most pure in the sight of your Lord, about
the one that is of the highest order and is far better for you than spending gold
and silver, even better for you than meeting your enemies in the battlefield
where you strike at their necks and they at yours?" The Companions replied, "Yes,
O Messenger of Allah!" The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "Remembrance of
Allah." (Tirmidhi,Ahmad)

Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The
Prophet (PBUH) said, "The similitude of one who remembers his Rubb and one
who does not remember Him, is like that of the living and the dead.'' [Al-Bukhari
and Muslim].
Zikr can be done anywhere and anytime
A person may ask, ‘How can we do Zikr all the time whilst we have so many
things to do in life such as we go to work, feed the family, pay bills, etc.? Well, the
answer to this is that, firstly, it is the Sunnah of Allah's Messenger to work and
feed the family which is rewarded by Allah and, secondly, that when a person is
working or at school or wherever a person may be this does not mean that he
should stop remembering Allah while he is working, while he is serving his
customers or while he is programming his computer.
In fact the heart of the believer should be attached to Allah's remembrance
throughout his day to day activities such that he protects himself from falling in
love with the materials and temptations of this world and that his love for Allah
and his Messenger becomes stronger and stronger as time goes by. When a
person begins to remember Allah all the time it is then that he becomes conscious
of his actions.
Remember: in a place where people are oblivious to dhikir, remembrance
of Allah is like being steadfast in jihad, when others are running away. (Targhib, p.
193, vol. 3 ref. Bazar and Tibrani)

 "... And the men and the women who remember Allah much with their
hearts and tongues. Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward
(i.e., Jannah).'' (33:35)

4. Calling upon Allah in Dua (supplication)

Allah the most compassionate says in the Holy Quran, "Call on Me. I will
answer your prayer, but those who are too arrogant to serve me will surely find
themselves humiliated in Hell" (40:60).
Allah the Exalted, has said: "And your Lord says: Pray unto me: and I will
hear your prayer" (Quran 40:60),
"Call upon your Lord Humbly and in secret" (Quran 7:55),
"When My servants question thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to
them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me" (Quran
2:186),
"Is not He (best) who listens to the (soul) distressed when it calls on Him,
and who relieves its suffering." (Quran 27:62)

Dua’s are never wasted

Aisha radhiallaahu anha said, "No believer makes Dua and it is wasted.
Either it is granted here in this world or deposited for him in the Hereafter as long
as he does not get frustrated."
Allah’s anger at those who don’t make dua
In fact, it is even wrong to never make Dua, "Whosoever does not
supplicate to Allah, He will be angry with Him." [Saheeh Jaami`as-Sagheer #2414]

Dua is a weapon for the believers

Rasullullah is reported to have said, “Dua is the weapon of a Muslim”.
8
Page
 Dua for ones brother in his absence
"The supplication that gets the quickest answer is the one made by one
Muslim for another in his absence." [Abu Daw'ud and Tirmidhi]
So let us build a close relationship with Allah by making much dua to him.
He loves it when his slave calls upon him and it angers him if his slave does not
call upn him.
Let us have full hope that our dua’s will be accepted and if you think they
won’t they know Allah is keeping the rewards for you in the hereafter and those
rewards are so great that one would wish that none of there duas were excepted
in this world just so that one can gain all the rewards for their duas in the next
world.

5. Building a close relationship with the Qur’an

Recite the Holy Qur’aan as much as we can for It will come as an intercessor
for its reciter’ on the Day of Judgement [Muslim]
Learn the Qur’an and recite it, because the example of one who learns the
Qur’an, reads it and recites it in Tahajjud is like an open bag full of musk whose
fragrance permeates the entire place. And the person who has learnt the Qur’an
but sleeps while the Qur’an is in the heart is like a bag full of musk but with its
mouth closed.
Virtues of reciting the Qur’an
“Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah will receive a hasanah
(good deed) from it (i.e. his recitation), and the hasanah is multiplied by ten. I do
not say that Alif-Laam-Meem is (considered as) a letter, rather Alif is a letter,
Laam is a letter, and Meem is a letter.” [At-Tirmidhi, Ad-Darimi]
“There is no envy (acceptable) except in two (cases): a person whom Allah
has given the Qur’an and recites it throughout the night and throughout the day.
And a person whom Allah has given wealth, that he gives out throughout the
night and throghout the day.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
9
Page
 It was narrated that Abdullah ibn Mas’ud said: Whoever reads
Tabarakallahi Biyadihil Mulk [i.e. Surah al-Mulk] every night, Allah will protect him
from the torment of the grave. At the time of the Messenger of Allah (Peace be
upon him) we used to call it al-mani’ah (that which protects). In the Book of Allah
it is a surah which, whoever recites it every night has done very well. (an-Nasa’i)
Abdullah Ibn ‘Abbas and Anas Ibn Malik (Ra) reported that the Prophet
(Peace be upon him) said, ‘Whoever recited Surah Zilzilah (99) would get the
reward of reciting half the Qur’an. Whoever recited Surah al Kaafirun (109) would
get a reward as if reading a quarter of the Qur’an. Whoever recited Surah al Ikhlas
(112) would get a reward as if reading one third of the Qur’an’. (At-Tirmidhi
2818/A)

Reading, understanding and implementing the Qur’an in our daily lives

The virtues of reciting the Qur’an are too numerous to list. In order to get
closer to Allah we need to recite the Qur’an, understand it and implement it in
our daily lives.
We should make a target of reading at least a chapter a day. If one can’t
manage that then at least half a chapter. If one still can’t manage that then recite
at least quarter of a chapter or even a page a day. However much we can manage
we should try to recite each day with its meanings and implement what we learn
into our daily lives.
Reading a little each day is better than reciting a lot once in a while. We
should build a close relationship with the Qur’an which is in fact building a close
relationship with Allah!
“Verily Allah raises nations by this book (the Qur’an) and puts down (i.e.
destroys) others by it.” [Muslim]

6. Keeping good company

One of the most important things we must do, which sadly many people
10

neglect, is that we should avoid bad company. People we should avoid taking as
Page
friends those who speak too freely, who miss Salah, who do not dress modestly,
who backbite, slander etc.
The company of such people is poison; just even sitting and talking with
them will lead one to commit sins. Just as a person who sits for a long time with a
perfume seller begins to smell nice, and a person who sits by a gutter cleaner
begins to smell awful, similarly a person who spends time in the company of the
wicked eventually gets affected badly by them.
Rather, we should seek out pious friends who fear Allah taala and who have
the qualities of humility, charity, compassion, modesty and knowledge. If we sit
with them we will always benefit and they will be a means for us to get closer to
Allah taala!
The Prophet (saws) said, “The case of the good companion and the bad
companion is like that of the seller of musk and the blower of the bellows (iron-
smith). As for the seller of musk, he will either give you some of the musk, or you
will purchase some from him, or at least you will come away having experienced
its good smell. Whereas the blower of the bellows will either burn your clothing,
or at least you will come away having experienced its repugnant smell.” [Al-
Bukhaaree and Muslim]
Remember: “All friends will be enemies of one another on that Day (Day of
Judgment) except those of the virtuous.” (al-Qur’an 43:67)

7. Having fear and hope in Allah

Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people.
(Surah Yusuf 12:87)
One must be hopeful of Allahs mercy and forgiveness and fearful of His
punishment. It is this fear that should lead one to seek Allahs forgiveness with
hope. Allah says:
Know that Allah is severe in punishment and that Allah is Forgiving and
Merciful. (Surat al-Maaidah 5:98)
11
Page
 In the above verse, Allah gives us reason to fear because His punishment is
justly severe, as well as good reason to have hope, since He is the Most Forgiving
and Merciful. There should be a balance between fear and hope and not too
much or too less of one or the other.
We should always remain between fear and hope. For, the right and the
approved kind of fear is that which acts as a barrier between the slave and the
things forbidden by Allah. But, if fear is excessive, then the possibility is that the
man will fall into despair and pessimism.
On the other hand the approved state of optimism is of a man who does
good in the light of the Shari'ah and is hopeful of being rewarded for it. Or,
conversely, if a man committed a sin, he repents sincerely, and is hopeful of being
forgiven. Allah (swt) said:
"Verily, those who believed, and those who migrated and fought in the way
of Allah, it is they who are hopeful of Allah's mercy. And Allah is very Forgiving,
very Merciful." (Al-Baqarah, 218)
In contrast, if a man indulges in sins and excesses, but is hopeful that he
would be forgiven without doing anything good, then, this is self-deception, mere
illusion and false hope. Abu 'All Rowzbari has said, "Fear and hope are like the two
wings of a bird. If they are well balanced, the flight will be well balanced. But, If
one is stunted, the Right would also be stunted. And, to be sure, if the two are
lost, the bird will soon be in the throes of death." Allah has praised the people of
hope and fear in the following verse:
'Is one who worships devotedly during the night, prostrating himself or
standing, fearing the Hereafter, and hoping for the mercy of his Lord (is equal to
him who doesn't do these things)?' (Al Zumar, 9)
Hope then also demands fear. If that was not the case, one would be in a
state of false security. Conversely, fear demands hope. Without that it would be
despair.
Fear and hope, both should be equally proportioned in our hearts, in our
worship, and in our dua to Allah. Allah says:
12

Call out to Him with fear and hope. (Surat al-Araaf 7:56)
Page
 They forsake their beds to call their Lord in fear and hope. (Surat as-Sajdah
32:16)

8. Voluntary fasting for the pleasure of Allah

Fasting in general and voluntary fasting in particular is a great worship.
Fasting is not restricted to Ramadhan, but it is an act of worship that can be [and
should be in some cases] performed at any time and at any place except when not
recommended. Indeed, it is a worship that draws the believer closer to Allah and
closer to perfection.
Fasting Mondays and Thursdays:
`Aa'ishah said: The Messenger of Allah, salla Allahu alaihi wa salam, used to
fast Mondays and Thursdays". [An-Nasaa’i; Sahih]
Abu Hurairah reported that the most the Prophet, salla Allahu alaihi wa
salam, would fast would be Monday and Thursday. He was asked about that and
he said: "The deeds of people are presented to Allah on every Monday and
Thursday. Allah forgives every Muslim except for those who are deserting each
other. He says: "leave them for later." [Ahmad; Hasan]
Intention for voluntary fasting
As opposed to Ramadan, the intention does not have to be made before
dawn. The person can intend fasting [and start fasting] after dawn any time [even
after noon] given that he did not eat anything. `Aa'ishah said : The Prophet, salla
Allahu alaihi wa sallam, came to us one day and said, "Do you have any [food]?"
We said "No". He said: Therefore, I am Fasting". [Muslim and Abu Dawood]

Fasting three days of every month(White days):

Abu Tharr Al-Ghefari said: "The Messenger of Allah, salla Allahu alaihi wa
sallam, said "O Abu Tharr! if you fast three days of every month, then fast the
13th, the 14th and the 15th [these are call the al-ayaam al-beedh, the white
13

days]". [Ahmad, an-Nasaa'i and at-Tirmithi; Sahih]

Page
 “Fasting and the Qur’an will intercede for the slave on the Day of
Resurrection. Fasting will say: ‘O My Rabb! I prevented him from food and desires,
so accept my intercession for him.’ And the Qur’an will say: ‘I prevented him from
sleep during the night, so accept my intercession for him.’ He (sallallahu `alayhi
wa sallam) said: ‘And they will (be allowed to) intercede.’” [Ahmad, at-Tabarani,
Al-Hakim, Sahih]
So let us get closer to Allah by fasting Mondays and Thursdays or at least 3
days every month on the 14th,15th and 16th. If we leave something for the
pleasure of Allah then we will get MUCH greater in return!

9. Sincerely repenting to Allah

Allah says: O son of Adam, if your sins were to reach the clouds of the sky
and you would then seek My forgiveness, I would forgive you.
When a person sins and then sincerely turns to Allah for forgiveness, one
will find Allah ready to accept his repentance and to forgive him, as this verse
indicates:
And whoever does a wrong or wrongs himself, but then seeks forgiveness
from Allah, he will find Allah forgiving and merciful. (Surat an-Nisaa 4:110)
Everyone commits sin and does wrong, but Allah is always willing to forgive
and He always gives them a chance to repent and seek His forgiveness. A believer
should never forget the fact that Allah is so forgiving. If Allah had willed, He could
have held everyone accountable for his or her sins, but He has decreed that He
shall allow His servants to seek His forgiveness and that He shall in fact forgive
who and what He wills. In fact, Allah commands that His servants seek His
forgiveness:
And seek Allahs forgiveness. Certainly, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (Surat al-
Muzzammil 73:20)
Repentance is an act, which purifies the soul and brings the servant closer
to Allah. It puts the heart at rest from guilt. It protects one from falling prey to his
14

desires and lusts and increases his faith.

Page
 We must ask ourselves this question: Would we be willing to forgive
anyone who hurts us and disobeys us constantly as easily as Allah is Able to
forgive? Most probably, the answer would be no. But our Creator is the Most Kind
and He is the Most Perfect.
Lo! Allah is a Lord of Kindness to mankind, but most of mankind give not
thanks. (Surat al-Baqarah 2:143)
In this Hadithi Qudsi, mankind is encouraged to seek Allahs forgiveness and
repent, but there are five conditions of repentance, which must be met for ones
repentance to be accepted. The first and most important is that the act of
repentance be sincerely for Allah alone. Secondly, the person must feel remorse
and guilt over his actions so much so that he wished he had never done it in the
first place. The third condition is that the person must immediately cease
performing the wrong and sinful act. Fourthly, the repentant person must have a
firm intention to never commit the sin again. And lastly, the person must repent
before it is too late, meaning before death approaches.
However, there is a condition. One must not associate any partners with
Allah, which is shirk. And Allah does not forgive shirk and if one dies without
believing in Allah alone as ones Creator, then he will be doomed to the Hellfire for
all of eternity. So, Allah emphasizes the importance of calling on Him alone. He
has no and needs no partners, associates, wives, children, etc. There is no god,
but Allah. None forgives sins except Him, so one who is seeking forgiveness
should seek it only from Allah.
Allahs forgiveness and mercy is far greater and vaster than the sins of the
creation. One must always have trust and hope in Allah in both good times and
bad times and especially when seeking Allahs forgiveness. And the believer who
calls out to his Lord for forgiveness demonstrates his true weakness and that he is
totally dependent on the Creator.
When one confesses his sins to Allah and sincerely repents with hope in
Allahs mercy, the heart should come to peace and the soul should feel rest. When
a person has hope, he has no reason to despair because it only leads to
destruction. Allah gives hope to all, especially those who despair that there is no
15

reason to despair because Allah is the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy.
Page

Allah praises those who repent and turn to Him:

 And those who, when they commit a lewd act or wrong themselves with
evil, remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their sins and who forgives sins
except Allah? And they do not persist in what (wrong) they were doing while they
knew it. For such, the reward is forgiveness from their Lord and Gardens with
rivers flowing through, wherein they shall abide forever. How excellent is the
reward of the doers (of good)! (Surah Ali Imran 3:135-136)

10. Having good manners, character and being humble

Many of us think that “a perfect Muslim” is simply one who is correct in the
observance of the salah (ritual Prayer), the fasting, the zakah (payment of a
certain portion of one’s wealth to the poor), and the Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah).
This indeed is not the case.
If the ritual observances do not help the person to be humble, virtuous and
truly God-fearing, then he or she is not a real Muslim. A Muslim should be good
and just in dealing with others, no matter their religion, and take special care to
keep away from all the shameful and sinful things Allah (God) has forbidden.
One can never get close to Allah by being arrogant, full of pride and having
a bad character and manners. Those who have humility and are humble and have
good character and manners are the closest to Allah and Allah raises their ranks in
the hereafter.

The superiority of good character:

Hadrat Abu Darda, may Allah be pleased with him, relates that the Holy
Prophet Muhammad, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said,
“Nothing is heavier in the scales of a believer on the Day of Judgement than his
good behaviour. Allah detests a person who is obscene and shameless”. (Tirmidhi)
Having humility and being humble:
The Prophet (PBUH) said: "He who was humble for the sake of God by one
degree, God (SWT) would then elevate them to a degree till they reach the
16

uppermost of high Orders, and he who was arrogant to God (SWT), God (SWT)
Page
would then lower him for a degree till he reaches the lowest of low Orders",
(Narrated by: Muslim (Hadeeth: 6535).
Al-Nawawi said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said: “And no one humbles himself before Allaah but Allaah will raise him (in
status).”
Humbleness is to know the value of oneself, to avoid pride, or disregarding
the truth and underestimating people. As the Prophet sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam
said, according to Muslim and others, "Al-Kibr is rejecting the truth and looking
down upon people" [Muslim, Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud].
Humbleness is for one who is important and significant and he fears to gain
notoriety or to become too great among people. Humbleness is that one should
humble himself with his companions.
Humbleness is to humble oneself to one who is below you. If you find
someone who is younger than you, or of less importance than you, you should
not despise him, because he might have a better heart than you, or be less sinful,
or closer to Allah than you. Even if you see a sinful person and you are righteous,
do not act in arrogance towards him, and thank Allah that He saved you from the
tribulation that He put him through. Remember that there might be some riyaa'
or vanity in your righteous deeds that may cause them to be of no avail, and that
this sinful person may be regretful and fearful concerning his bad deeds, and this
may be the cause of forgiveness of his sins.
Humbleness is that your deed should not become too great in your eyes. If
you do a good deed, or attempt to get closer to Allah ta`ala through an act of
obedience, your deed may still not be accepted, "Allah only accepts from those
who have taqwa (fear of Allah)." (Surat al-Maida: 27)
Humbleness is that, when you are advised, if Shaytaan calls you to reject
the advice, you must negate him. Because the purpose of advice is that your
brother points out the defects that you have.
The arrogant never gives credit to anybody or mentions good about
someone, and if he needed to do so, he would also mention five defects of that
17

person. But if he hears somebody reminding him about his own defects, he will
Page

not be flexible nor comply due to his inferiority complex. This is why it is among
man's moral integrity to accept criticism or comment without any sensitivity or
discomfort or feelings of shame and weakness.

We can summarize the teachings of Islam about the Muslim character in the
following list:
Be truthful in everything, don’t lie.
Be sincere and straightforward, don’t be hypocritical.
Be honest, don’t be corrupt.
Be humble, don’t be boastful.
Be moderate, don’t be excessive.
Be reserved, don’t be garrulous.
Be soft-spoken, don’t be loud.
Be refined and gentle in speech, don’t curse and use foul language.
Be loving and solicitous to others, don’t be unmindful of them.
Be considerate and compassionate, don’t be harsh.
Be polite and respectful to people, don’t be insulting or disrespectful.
Be generous and charitable, don’t be selfish and miserly.
Be good natured and forgiving, don’t be bitter and resentful.
Share and be content with what Allah has given you, don’t be greedy.
Be cheerful and pleasant, don’t be irritable and morose.
Be chaste and pure, don’t be lustful.
Be alert and aware of the world around you, don’t be absent-minded.
Be dignified and decent, don’t be graceless.
Be optimistic and hopeful, don’t be cynical or pessimistic.
18

Be confident and have deep faith, don’t be doubtful and wavering.

Be spiritually oriented and not materialistic.
Be confident of the mercy of Allah, don’t be despairing and lose heart.
Be diligent and vigilant of your duties, don’t be negligent.
Be thankful to Allah and constantly pray to Him, don’t be forgetful of His
innumerable blessings.

Finally as the righteous say, "The love of Allah is the axis around which all
good revolves." If you fall in love with Allah, and then strive to be true in your
love--in accordance with the way of the Beloved of Allah (Allah bless him and give
him peace), then you'll find nothing but increasing light and contentment in your
life. And Allah alone gives success.

 “Fear Allah Where ever You Are”

Abû Dharr al-Ghifârî and Mu`âdh b, Jabal relate that the Prophet (peace be
upon him) said: “Fear Allah wherever you are. Follow up a bad deed with a good
deed and it will blot it out. And deal with people in a good manner.” [ Sunan al-
Tirmidhî ]
The importance of this hadith:
Ibn Rajab says: “This is powerful advice, bringing together the rights of
Allah and the rights of His servants.”

The fear of Allah

The Arabic word for the “fear of Allah” is taqwâ . It comes from the root
word meaning “to protect from something, to prevent”. Indeed, a person exhibits
the fear of Allah by seeking to prevent Allah's punishment by carrying out what
Allah has commanded of him and abstaining from what Allah has prohibited him.
Allah had called upon all people in every era to fear Him. Allah says: “And
We had enjoined upon those who were given the Scripture before – as well as
yourselves – to fear Allah.” [ Sûrah al-Nisâ' : 131]
It is Allah's right over His servants that they fear Him as He ought to be
feared. Allah says: “O you who believe! Fear Allah as He ought to be feared and
do not die except as believers.” [ Sûrah Âl `Imrân : 102]
Ibn Mas`ûd explained what it means to fear Allah as He ought to be feared
20

by saying: “It means that He is to be obeyed not disobeyed, remembered not

forgotten, and shown gratitude not ingratitude.”
Page
 The fear of Allah is the path to forgiveness, salvation, and the attainment of
Allah's mercy. Allah says:
“Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who do good.” [ Sûrah
al-Nahl : 128]
“And My mercy encompasses all things, and I shall decree it for those who
fear Me.” [ Sûrah al-A`râf : 156]
“He is worthy of being feared and worthy of granting forgiveness.” [ Sûrah
al-Muddaththir : 56]
“And whoever fears Allah – He will pardon him his sins and grant him a
great reward.” [ Sûrah al-Talâq : 5]
“Indeed, those who fear Allah will be among gardens and rivers, in a seat of
truth near an All-Powerful Sovereign.” [ Sûrah al-Qamar : 54-55]
Allah promises those who fear Him that He will provide for their needs and
grant them a way out of their worldly difficulties. Allah says: “And whoever fears
Allah, He will make for him a way out, and provide for him from whence he could
never imagine.” [ Sûrah al-Talâq : 2-3]
This is Allah's promise. We should draw strength from it when we are tried
in life with difficulties that tempt us to resort to what Allah has forbidden.

The relationship between knowledge and the fear of Allah

Allah says: “It is only those who have knowledge among Allah's servants
who fear Him.” [ Sûrah Fâtir : 28]
There are two ways in which knowledge and the fear of Allah are related.
The first is that true fear of Allah comes about as the result of having proper
knowledge of Allah and His perfect attributes.
Ibn `Abbâs said about this verse: “They are those who know that Allah is
capable of all things.”
21

He also said: “The verse means: The only people who fear me are those
Page

who know my power, my might, and my dominion.”

 Ibn Kathîr says in his commentary of this verse: “The only people who fear
Allah in the true sense are those who are knowledgeable about Allah. This is
because the more knowledge a person has about the Almighty, the All-Powerful
and All-Knowing, who possesses the attributes of perfection and the best of
names – the more perfect and complete this knowledge is – the greater and more
total his fear of Allah will be.” [ Tafsîr Ibn Kathîr ]
The second way that the fear of Allah and knowledge are related stems
from the fact that the fear of Allah is to seek to prevent Allah's punishment by
carrying out Allah's commands and abstaining from His prohibitions.
Consequently, a Muslim needs to have knowledge of these matters in order to
fear Allah properly. An ignorant Muslim may have a sense of fear, but he will not
be able to fully carry out what that fear requires of him.
Ibn `Abbâs said: “To have knowledge of the Most Merciful is to be someone
who associates nothing as a partner with Him, who deems lawful what He has
made lawful, who prohibits what He has prohibited, who preserves what He has
enjoined upon him, and who has certainty that he shall meet Him and that his
actions will be accounted for.”

Follow up a bad deed with a good deed

The Prophet (peace be upon him) tells us that the performing a good deed
wipes away the sin incurred from perpetrating an evil one. Scholars have
disagreed whether the “good deed” being referred to here refers specifically to
the context of repentance or whether it is general for all good works.
The strongest view is that all good deeds can wipe away evil deeds. Allah
says: “And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the
night. Indeed, good works do away with evil deeds. That is a reminder for those
who take heed.” [ Sûrah Hûd : 114]
A man once came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and informed him
that he had contact with a woman like a husband has with his wife, except that he
did not go so far as to fornicate with her. This man had just prayed the Fajr
22

prayer. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Have you prayed with us the Fajr
Page

prayer?” When he replied that he had, the Prophet (peace be upon him) recited:
“Indeed, good works do away with evil deeds.” [ Sahîh al-Bukhârî (526) and Sahîh
Muslim (2763)]
However, a believer should always repent for his sins. Allah says: “And
those, who when they commit an indecency or wrong themselves, remember
Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins – and who forgives sins except Allah –
and then do not knowingly persist in what they have done, for them is forgiveness
from their Lord and gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they shall abide
forever. How great is the reward for those who work righteousness.” [ Sûrah Âl
`Imrân : 135]
A believer should follow up his sincere repentance with the performance of
good works. This is what Allah wants from us. He says: “Indeed, I am Most
Forgiving to whomever repents, believes, and works righteous deeds and then
continues upon guidance.” [ Sûrah TâHâ : 82]
Allah also tells us: “Except for those who repent, believe, and work
righteous deeds. For those, Allah will change their evil deeds into good deeds, and
Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.” [ Sûrah al-Furqân : 70] This is especially
true for major sins. A Muslim must never leave a major sin to go without
repentance, for Allah's promise of forgiveness is for those who turn to Him in
sincere repentance. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “A servant, if he
acknowledges his sin and then repents, Allah will forgive him.” [ Sahîh al-Bukhârî
(4141) and Sahîh Muslim (2770)]

And deal with people in a good manner

Allah tells us repeatedly in the Qur'ân to observe good manners in our
dealings with others. He says: “Keep to forgiveness (O Muhammad), and enjoin
kindness, and turn away from those who are ignorant.” [ Sûrah al-A`râf : 199]
Allah says: “Nor can goodness and evil be equal. Repel (evil) with what is
better. Then he between whom and you there had been hatred will become as
though he were your dear friend.” [ Sûrah Fussilat : 34]
23
Page
 The Prophet (peace be upon him) is the perfect example of what it means
to possess good manners. Allah says, describing him: “Indeed you are of a great
moral character.” [ Sûrah al-Qalam : 4]
The Prophet (peace be upon him) emphasized how good manners are of
paramount importance in Islam when he said: “I was sent only to perfect good
manners.” [ Musnad Ahmad (8952)]
Indeed, he tells us that good manners are part of faith. He said: “The
believers with the most complete faith are those who have the best manners.” [
Sunan al-Tirmidhî (1162) and Sunan Abî Dâwûd (4682)]
Among the good manners that we should cultivate is to be sensible in our
dealings with others and not to react hastily when they do that which displeases
us. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to Ashajj `Abd Qays: “You possess
within yourself two qualities that Allah loves: discernment and forbearance.” [
Sahîh Muslim (17)]

dhikr
(Arabic: "reminding oneself," or "mention"), ritual prayer or litay

practiced by Muslim mystics (Sufis) for the purpose of glorifying

God andachieving spiritual perfection. Based on the Qur'anic

injunctions "Remind thyself [udhkur] of thy Lord when thou

forgettest" (18:24) and "O ye who believe! Remember [udhkuru]

Allah with much remembrance" (33:41), the dhikr is essentially a

"remembering" of God by the frequent repetition ofhis names.

Originally a simple recitation of the Qur'an and various religious

writings among ascetics and mystics, the dhikr gradually became

aformula (e.g., la ilaha illa 'llah, "there is no god but God"; Allahu

akbar,"God is greatest"; al-hamdu li'llah, "praise be to God";

astaghfiru 'llah, "Iask God's forgiveness"), repeated aloud or

softly, accompanied by prescribed posture and breathing. As the

Sufi brotherhoods (tariqahs) were established, each adopted a

particular dhikr, to be recited in solitude (e.g., following each of

the five obligatory daily prayers) or as acommunity. The dhikr,

like fikr (meditation), is a method the Sufi may use in his striving

to achieve oneness with God. [dictionary.com]

O ye who believe! when ye deal with each other, in transactions involving

future obligations in a fixed period of time, reduce them to writing. Let a
scribe write: down faithfully as between the parties: let not the scribe
refuse to write as Allah has taught him, so let him write. Let him who
incurs the liability dictate, but let him fear Allah, his Lord Allah and not
diminish aught of what he owes. If the party liable is mentally deficient, or
weak, or unable himself to dictate, let his guardian dictate faithfully. And
get two witnesses, out of your own men And if there are not two men,
then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if
one of them errs, the other can remind her. The witnesses should not
refuse when they are called on (for evidence). Disdain not to reduce to
writing (your contract) for a future period, whether it be small or big: it is
juster in the sight of Allah, more suitable as evidence, and more convenient
to prevent doubts among yourselves; but if it be a transaction which ye
carry out on the spot among yourselves, there is no blame on you if ye
reduce it not to writing. But take witnesses whenever ye make a
commercial contract; and let neither scribe nor witness suffer harm. If ye
do (such harm) it would be wickedness in you. So fear Allah; for it is Allah
27

that teaches you. And Allah is well acquainted with all things. (282)

 Verses with ‘Remember’
(Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali)

Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (MADINA)

49: And remember, We delivered you from the people of Pharaoh: they set you
hard tasks and punishments slaughtered your sons and let your womenfolk live;
therein was a tremendous trial from your Lord.
50: And remember We divided the sea for you and saved you and drowned
Pharaoh's people within your very sight.
51: And remember We appointed forty nights for Moses and in his absence you
took the calf (for worship) and ye did grievous wrong.
53: And remember We gave Moses the Scripture and the criterion (between right
and wrong) there was a chance for you to be guided aright.
54: And remember Moses said to his people: "O my people! Ye have indeed
wronged yourselves by your worship of the calf so turn (in repentance) to your
Maker and slay yourselves (the wrong-doers); that will be better for you in the
sight of your Maker." Then He turned toward you (in forgiveness); for He is Oft-
returning Most Merciful.
55: And remember ye said: "O Moses! we shall never believe in thee until we see
Allah manifestly" but ye were dazed by thunder and lightning even as ye looked
on.
58: And remember We said: "Enter this town and eat of the plenty therein as ye
wish; but enter the gate with humility, in posture and in words, and We shall
forgive you your faults and increase (the portion of) those who do good."
60: And remember Moses prayed for water for his people; We said: "Strike the
rock with thy staff." Then gushed forth therefrom twelve springs. Each group knew
its own place for water. So eat and drink of the sustenance provided by Allah, and
do no evil nor mischief on the (face of the) earth.
28

61: And remember ye said: "O Moses! we cannot endure one kind of food
Page

(always); so beseech thy Lord for us to produce for us of what the earth groweth-
its pot-herbs and cucumbers its garlic lentils and onions." He said: "will ye
exchange the better for the worse? Go ye down to any town and ye shall find what
ye want!" They were covered with humiliation and misery; they drew on
themselves the wrath of Allah. This because they went on rejecting the signs of
Allah and slaying His messengers without just cause. This because They rebelled
and went on transgressing.
63: And remember We took your covenant and We raised above you the towering
height of Mount (Sinai) (saying): "Hold firmly to what We have given you and
bring (ever) to remembrance what is therein: perchance ye may fear Allah."
67: And remember Moses said to his people: "Allah commands that ye sacrifice a
heifer." They said: "Makest thou a laughing-stock of us?" He said: "Allah save me
from being an ignorant (fool)!"
72: Remember ye slew a man and fell into a dispute among yourselves as to the
crime but Allah was to bring forth what ye did hide.
83: And remember We took a covenant from the children of Israel (to this effect):
worship none but Allah; treat with kindness your parents and kindred, and
orphans and those in need; speak fair to the people; be steadfast in prayer; and
give Zakat. then did ye turn back except a few among you, and ye backslide (even
now).
84: And remember We took your Covenant (to this effect): shed no blood amongst
you, nor turn out your own people from your homes; and this ye solemnly ratified,
and to this you were witness.
93: And remember We took your Covenant and We raised above you the mount
(Sinai): (saying): "Hold firmly to what We have given you, and hearken (to the
Law)"; they said: "We hear, and we disobey"; and they had to drink into their
hearts (of the taint) of the calf because of their faithlessness. Say: "Vile indeed are
the behests of your faith, if ye have any faith!"
124: And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands,
which he fulfilled; He said: "I will make thee an Imam to the nations." He pleaded:
"And also (Imams) from my offspring!" He answered: "But my promise is not
29

within the reach of evil-doers."

Page
125: Remember We made the House a place of assembly for men and a place of
safety; and take ye the station of Abraham as a place of prayer; and We
covenanted with Abraham and Isma`il that they should sanctify My House for
those who compass it round or use it as a retreat or bow, or prostrate themselves
(therein in prayer).
126: And remember Abraham said: "My Lord make this a City of Peace, and feed
its people with fruits―such of them as believe in Allah and the Last Day." He said:
"(Yea) and such as reject faith―for a while will I grant them their pleasure, but
will soon drive them to the torment of fire―an evil destination (indeed)!"
127: And remember Abraham and Isma`il raised the foundations of the House
(with this prayer): "Our Lord! accept (this service) from us; for thou art the All-
Hearing the All-Knowing.
152: Then do ye remember Me; I will remember you. Be grateful to Me and reject
not faith.

Sura 3 - Al-E-Imran (MADINA)

103: And hold fast, all together by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you),
and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allah's favour
on you; for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love so that by His
Grace, ye became brethren; and ye were on the brink of the pit of fire, and He
saved you from it. Thus doth Allah make his signs clear to you: that ye may be
guided.
121: Remember that morning thou didst leave thy household (early) to post the
Faithful at their stations for battle: and Allah heareth and knoweth all things.
122: Remember two of your parties meditated cowardice; but Allah was their
Protector, and in Allah should the Faithful (ever) put their trust.
124: Remember thou saidst to the Faithful: Is it not enough for you that Allah
should help you with three thousand angels (specially) sent down?
187: And remember Allah took a Covenant from the People of the Book, to make it
30

known and clear to mankind, and not to hide it; but they threw it away behind
Page
their backs, and purchased with it some miserable gain! and vile was the bargain
they made!

Sura 4 - An-Nisa (MADINA)

127: They ask thy instruction concerning the women. Say: Allah doth instruct you
about them: and (remember) what hath been rehearsed unto you in the Book,
concerning the orphans of women to whom ye give not the portions prescribed
and yet whom ye desire to marry, as also concerning the children who are weak
and oppressed: that ye stand firm for justice to orphans. There is not a good deed
which ye do, but Allah is well-acquainted therewith.

Sura 5 - Al-Maeda (MADINA)

20: Remember Moses said to his people: "O my people! call in remembrance the
favour of Allah unto you when He produced prophets among you made you kings
and gave you what He had not given to any other among the peoples.

Sura 6 - Al-Anaam (MAKKA)

152: And come not nigh to the orphan's property, except to improve it, until he
attain the age of full strength; give measure and weight with (full) justice;― no
burden do We place on any soul, but that which it can bear;― whenever ye speak,
speak justly, even if a near relative is concerned; and fulfil the Covenant of Allah:
thus doth He command you, that ye may remember.

Sura 7 - Al-Araf (MAKKA)

3: Follow (O men!) the revelation given unto you from your Lord, and follow not,
as friends or protectors, other than Him. Little it is ye remember of admonition.
57: It is He who sendeth the winds like heralds of glad tidings going before His
31

Mercy: when they have carried the heavy-laden clouds, We drive them to a land
Page
that is dead, make rain to descend thereon, and produce every kind of harvest
therewith: thus shall We raise up the dead: perchance ye may remember.
74: "And remember how He made you inheritors after the Ad people and gave you
habitations in the land: ye build for yourselves palaces and castles in (open) plains,
and carve out homes in the mountains; so bring to remembrance the benefits (ye
have received) from Allah, and refrain from evil and mischief on the earth."
86: "And squat not on every road, breathing, threats, hindering from the path of
Allah those who believe in Him and seek to make it something crooked; but
remember how ye were little, and He gave you increase. And hold in your mind's
eye what was the end of those who did mischief.
141: And remember We rescued you from Pharaoh's people who afflicted you with
the worst of penalties who slew your male children and saved alive your females:
in that was a momentous trial from your Lord.
161: And remember it was said to them: "Dwell in this town and eat therein as ye
wish, but say the word of humility and enter the gate in a posture of humility; We
shall forgive you your faults; We shall increase (the portion of) those who do
good."

Sura 8 - Al-Anfal (MADINA)

9: Remember ye implored the assistance of your Lord, and He answered you: "I
will assist you with a thousand of the angels, ranks on ranks."
11: Remember He covered you with a sort of drowsiness, to give you calm as from
himself, and He caused rain to descend on you from heaven, to clean you
therewith, to remove from you the stain of satan to strengthen your hearts, and to
plant your feet firmly therewith.
12: Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you:
give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers:
smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them."
32
Page
30: Remember how the unbelievers plotted against thee, to keep thee in bonds, or
slay thee, or get thee out, (of thy home). They plot and plan and Allah too plans
but the best of planners is Allah.
32: Remember how they said: "O Allah! if this is indeed the Truth from Thee, rain
down on us a shower of stones from the sky, or send us a grievous penalty."
42: Remember ye were on the hither side of the valley, and they on the farther
side, and the caravan on lower ground than ye. Even if ye had made a mutual
appointment to meet, ye would certainly have failed in the appointment: but (thus
ye met), that Allah might accomplish a matter already enacted; that those who
died might die after a clear sign (had been given), and those who lived might live
after a clear sign (had been given). And verily Allah is He Who heareth and
knoweth (all things).
43: Remember in thy dream Allah showed them to thee as few: if He had shown
them to thee as many, ye would surely have been discouraged, and ye would
surely have disputed in (your) decision: but Allah saved (you): for He knoweth well
the (secrets) of (all) hearts.
44: And remember when ye met He showed them to you as few in your eyes, and
He made you appear as contemptible in their eyes: that Allah might accomplish a
matter already enacted: For to Allah do all questions go back (for decision).
48: Remember satan made their (sinful) acts seem alluring to them, and said: "No
one among men can overcome you this day, while I am near to you": but when the
two forces came in sight of each other he turned on his heels and said: "Lo! I am
clear of you; lo! I see what ye see not; lo! I fear Allah; for Allah is strict in
punishment.
57: If ye gain the mastery over them in war, disperse with them, those who follow
them, that they may remember.
72: Those who believed, and adopted exile and fought for the faith with their
property and their persons, in the cause of Allah, as well as those who gave (them)
asylum and aid they are (all) friends and protectors, one of another. As to those
who believed but came not into exile, ye owe no duty of protection to them until
33

they come not into exile, but if they seek your aid in religion it is your duty to help

them, except against a people with whom ye have a treaty of mutual alliance: and
(remember) Allah seeth all that ye do.

Sura 11 - Hud (MAKKA)

7: And remember! your Lord caused to be declared (publicly): "If ye are grateful, I
will add more (favours) unto you; but if ye show ingratitude, truly My punishment
is terrible indeed."

28: And (remember) Lut; behold he said to his people: "Ye do commit lewdness,

Intelligence and Skill.

with Clear Signs, but they behaved with insolence on the earth; yet they could not

5: And remember, Moses said to his people: "O my people! why do ye vex and
insult me though ye know that I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you?" Then

6: And remember Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the
Messenger of Allah (sent) to you confirming the Law (which came) before me, and
giving glad Tidings of an Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be
Ahmad." But when he came to them with Clear Signs they said "This is evident
sorcery!"

 Sahih Muslim

The Book of Prayers (Kitab Al-Salat) - Book 4 : Hadith 1863

Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: We were
guided aright to Friday (as a day of prayer and meditation), but Allah diverted
those who were before us from it. The rest of the hadith is the same.

The Book of Virtue, Good Manners and Joining of the Ties of Relationship (Kitab
Al-Birr was-Salat-I-wa'l-Adab) - Book 32 : Hadith 6188
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: None
spoke in the cradle but only three (persons), Christ son of Mary, the second one
the companion of Juraij. Juraij had got constructed a temple and confined himself
in that. His mother came to him as he was busy in prayer and she said: Juraij. He
said: My Lord, my mother (is calling me while I am engaged in) my prayer. He
continued with the prayer. She returned and she came on the next day and he
was busy in prayer, and she said: Juraij. And he said: My Lord, my mother (is
calling me while I am engaged) in prayer, and he continued with the prayer and
she went back, and then on the next day she again came and he was busy in
prayer and she said: Juraij. And he said: My Lord, my mother (is calling me while I
am engaged in my prayer, and he continued with the prayer, and she said: My
Lord, don't give him death unless he has seen the fate of the prostitutes. The
story of Juraij and that of his meditation and prayer gained currency amongst Bani
Isra'il. There was a prostitute who had been a beauty incarnate. She said (to the
people): If you like I can allure him to evil. She presented herself to him but he
paid no heed (to her). She came to a shepherd who lived near the temple and she
offered herself to him and he had a sexual intercourse with her and so she
became pregnant arid when she gave birth to a child she said: This is from Juraij.
So they came and asked him to get down and demolished the temple and began
to beat him. He said: What is the matter? They said: You have committed
fornication with this prostitute and she has given birth to a child from your loins.
38

He said: Where is the child? They brought him (the child) and he said: just leave
Page

me so that I should observe prayer. And he observed prayer and when he

finished, he came to the child. He struck his stomach and said: O boy, who is your
father? lie said: He is such shepherd. So they turned towards Juraij, kissed him
and touched him (for seeking blessing) and said: We are prepared to construct
your temple with gold. He said. No, just rebuild it with mud as it had been, and
they did that. Then there was a babe who was sucking his mother that a person
dressed in fine garment came riding upon a beast. His mother said: O Allah, make
my child like this one. He (the babe) left sucking and began to see towards him,
and said: O Allah, don't make me like him. He then returned to the chest and
began to suck the milk of his mother. He (Abu Huraira) said: I perceived as if I am
seeing Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as he is explaining the scene
of his sucking milk with his forefinger in his mouth and sucking that. He (Abu
Huraira) further reported Allah's Apostle (may be peace upon him) as saying:
There happened to pass by him a girl who was being beaten and they were
saying: You have committed adultery and you have committed theft and she was
saying: Allah is enough for me and He is my good Protector, and his mother said:
O Allah, don't make my child like her and he left sucking the milk, and looked
towards her and said: O Allah, make me like her, and there was a talk between
them. She said: O with shaven head, a good-looking person happened to pass by
and I said: O Allah, make my child like him, and you said: O Allah, don't make me
like him, and they passed by a girl while they were beating her and saying: You
committed fornication and you committed theft, and I said: O Allah, don't make
my child like her, and you said: O Allah, make me like her. Thereupon he said:
That person was a tyrant, and I said: O Allah, don't make me like him, and they
were saying about her: You committed fornication whereas in fact she had not
committed that and they were saying: You have committed theft whereas she
had not committed theft, so I said: O Allah, make me like her.

The Book Pertaining to Repentance and Exhortation to Repentance (Kitab Al-

Tauba) - Book 37 : Hadith 6623
Hanzala Usayyidi, who was amongst the scribes of Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him). reported: I met Abu Bakr. He said: Who are you? He (Hanzala) said:
Hanzala has turned to be a hypocrite. He (Abu Bakr) said: Hallowed be Allah, what
39

are you saying? Thereupon he said: I say that when we are in the company of
Page
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) we ponder over Hell-Fire and
Paradise as if we are seeing them with our very eyes and when we are away from
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) we attend to our wives, our children,
our business; most of these things (pertaining to After-life) slip out of our minds.
Abu Bakr said: By Allah, I also experience the same. So I and Abu Bakr went to
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said to him: Allah's Messenger,
Hanzala has turned to be a hypocrite. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) said: What has happened to you? I said: Allah's Messenger, when
we are in your company, we are reminded of Hell-Fire and Paradise as if we are
seeing them with our own eyes, but whenever we go away from you and attend
to our wives, children and business, much of these things go out of our minds.
Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: By Him in Whose
Hand is my life, if your state of mind remains the same as it is in my presence and
you are always busy in remembrance (of Allah), the Angels will shake hands with
you in your beds and in your paths but, Hanzala, time should be devoted (to the
worldly affairs) and time (should be devoted to prayer and meditation). He (the
Holy Prophet) said this thrice.

I seek refuge in Allah from Satan the outcast. --- Allah! There is none worthy of
worship but He, the Ever living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exits.
Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the
heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him
except with His permission? He knows what happens to them in this world, and
what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never compass anything
of His knowledge except that which He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens
and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is
the Most High, the Most Great.

110 Ahadith Qudsi (Sacred Hadith) no: 91

Narrated: Anas bin Malik that Allah's Messenger (PBUH) said: Once
Jibrael brought me a white mirror having a black dot. So, I asked: 0 Jibrael! What is
this? He said: This is Friday. Allah has made it a festival for you and your followers. So
you have been given preference more than the Jews and Christians. There is an hour on
Friday nothing any slave ask is not answered. Then the Prophet (SAW) said: I asked:
What is this black spot? The angel replied: This is the Final Hour that will take place
on a Friday. We call it "Al-Mazid". The Prophet (SAW) said: I asked him: What
is the hour of Al-Mazid? He said: Allah has made in Paradise a wide valley in which
He has created dunes of white musk. When it is Friday, Allah will descend to it. The
pulpits of gold are kept there for the Prophet (SAW)s and chairs made of pearl are
arranged for the martyrs and the maidens with big lustrous eyes will get down from their
upstair rooms. They all praise Allah and glorify Him. The Prophet (SAW) said:
Then Allah will say: Cloth My slaves. So they will be dressed. He will say: Feed My
slaves. So they will be fed. He will say: Make them drink. So they will be made to drink.
He will say: Perfume My slaves. So they will be perfumed. Then He will ask: What do
you want? They will say: 0 our Lord! We want Your pleasure. The Prophet (SAW)
said: Allah will say: I am pleased with you. Then He will order them to disperse. So they
will deport. And the maidens with big lustrous eyes ascend to the upstair rooms, which
are made of green emerald and red ruby. (This Hadith is sound and reported in
Musnad of Abi Yala).
