_*اَلسَّـــــلامُ عَلَــيــْكُمْ وَرَحْمَـــةُاللهِ وَبَرَكَــاتُهُ*_ 🌸 *أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ* *بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ* 🌸 *Dhikr and Dua Series* ⚜️ _The Virtues of Dhikr_ 11. Dhikr is the Path to Knowing Allah, Loving Him & Being Loved by Him Ibn al-Qayyim said: “Indeed Allah has made a means for attaining everything. He has made continuous remembrance (dhikr) the means for love. So, whoever wants the love of Allah, then let him fervently remember Him.” Dhu al-Nun (raḥimahullah) said: “Whoever’s heart and tongue are occupied with dhikr, Allah casts into his heart the light of longing for Him.” Al-Rabiʿ b. Anas (raḥimahullah) said: “The sign of the love of Allah is that there is a great deal of remembrance of Him, because if you ever love a thing you remember it a great deal.” Ibn al-Qayyim (raḥimahullah) wrote: ‘Dhikr of the heart and tongue leads one to know Allah, inspires love, encourages modesty, and leads to fear and self-examination. It keeps one from falling short in obedience to Him and prevents one from taking sins lightly.’ ‘In regards to dhikr, people are on one of two levels. For the general Muslims, it is to earn rewards. For the elite, however, it is to draw near to Allah and be in His presence. What a tremendous gulf there is between the two levels. What a difference there is between one who takes his reward from behind a veil, and one who is drawn close and becomes of the elite lovers!’ (Ibn Juzayy raḥimahullāh) 12. Dhikr is a Source of Nur (light) Allah says: “On that Day you will see believing men and women with their light shining ahead of them and on their right. (They will be told,) ‘Today you have good news of Gardens, under which rivers flow, (for you) to stay in forever. This is the ultimate triumph.’ [57:12] Dhikr will be a nur for you in your grave, and on the Day of Judgement. This nūr will keep you steady on the ṣirāṭ (a bridge which must be passed on the Day of Judgement) that will guide you to Paradise. Dhikr is also nūr in this world. It illuminates your heart, face and the rest of the body. Ibn al-Qayyim (raḥimahullah) explains that the more nur the heart has, the greater the nur of your actions and words will be. Thus, there are some believers whose actions ascend up to Allah, and the nūr of their deeds is like the light of the sun. ‘By Allah, if you could hear the sound of the pens of the angels writing your name amongst those who remember Allah, you would die out of joy.’ [Ibn al-Qayyim raḥimahullah] ❍┈─┅═••࿇✠ ࿇••┅─┄❍ #dua WhatsApp (Only for sisters 🧕) - https://chat.whatsapp.com/GMmLlVv3SL1IZOMvGn2LU9 Telegram - @Gemsofjannah98 Instagram - https://instagram.com/gemsofjannah_98?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==1

🔹️Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, Oppression will be a darkness on the Day of Resurrection." حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ الْمَاجِشُونُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ الظُّلْمُ ظُلُمَاتٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ‏"‌‏.‏ Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 2447 #Hadith_of_the_day @Gemsofjannah98

🔹️Abu Hassan reported: I said to Abu Huraira that my two children had died. Would you narrate to me anything from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) a hadith which would soothe our hearts in our bereavements? He said: “Yes, the Prophet said: Their young are roaming about in Paradise.” If one of them meets his father (or he said his parents) he would take hold of his cloth, or he said with his hand as I take hold of the hem of your cloth (with my hand). And he (the child) would not take off (his hand) from it until Allah causes his father to enter Paradise. صِغَارُهُمْ دَعَامِيصُ الْجَنَّةِ يَتَلَقَّى أَحَدُهُمْ أَبَاهُ - أَوْ قَالَ أَبَوَيْهِ - فَيَأْخُذُ بِثَوْبِهِ - أَوْ قَالَ بِيَدِهِ - كَمَا آخُذُ أَنَا بِصَنِفَةِ ثَوْبِكَ هَذَا فَلاَ يَتَنَاهَى - أَوْ قَالَ فَلاَ يَنْتَهِي - حَتَّى يُدْخِلَهُ اللَّهُ وَأَبَاهُ الْجَنَّةَ ‏ Sahih Muslim 2635 #Hadith_of_the_day @Gemsofjannah98

It was narrated from Ka'b bin 'Ujrah who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out to us, we were made up of nine; five and four. The first of the numbers for the Arabs, and the latter for the non-Arabs. He said: 'Listen, have you heard that after me there will leaders, whoever enters upon them and condones to their lies, and supports them in their oppression, then he is not from me & I am not from him, & he shall not drink with me from the Hawd. And whoever does not enter upon them, nor help them in their oppression, nor condones to their lies, then he is from me, and I am from him, and he shall drink with me at the Hawd.'' At-Tirmidhi 2259 Sahih (Darussalam) #Hadith_of_the_day @Gemsofjannah98

⛱️ ﷽ ⛱️ *_A Call to Defeatism_* *Continued...✍🏻* Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: *The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “A strong believer is better and dearer to Allah than a weak one, and both are good.* Adhere to that which is beneficial for you. Keep asking Allah for help and do not refrain from it. (If you are afflicted in any way), do not say: ‘If I had taken this or that step, it would have resulted into such and such,’ but say only: ‘Allah so determined and did as He willed.’ The word ‘if’ opens the gates of satanic (thoughts)” (Muslim). This hadith goes in line with the Prophet’s reminder to his cousin Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that with patience comes victory, with distress comes relief, and with hardship comes ease. *_To be Continued...✍🏻_* WhatsApp (Only for sisters 🧕) - Contact Admin- Gemsofjannah98 Telegram - T.me/Gemsofjannah98 Instagram - https://instagram.com/gemsofjannah_98?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
