Thinking Leads To Remembrance Of Allah

[FADIA BINT ISMAIL]

Thoughts, Ideas And The Ability To Communicate

And To Act Upon Them Is What Differentiates

Humans From All Other Creations...

 

Allah SWT has given humans the faculty of thinking which is what earned us the level of Ashraf-ul-Makhlooqat or the exalted creation. The best form of gratitude towards Allah for giving us this high status is to utilize this thinking towards Him SWT, to ponder over His gifts and the unlimited amount of mercy He has showered upon us.

 

The more one thinks, the more his heart will focus until it is overwhelmed with the remembrance of Allah [swt], which is the goal in itself. Allah SWT says:

Chapter 13 Al-Ra’d

 

 

"Those Who Believe, And Whose Hearts Find Satisfaction In The Remembrance Of Allah. For Without Doubt In The Remembrance Of Allah Do Hearts Find Satisfaction. [Verse 28]

 

In this stressful, crazed world, peace of mind and heart is an achievement worth attaining. The more one tastes this peace, the higher the desire becomes and the more a person thinks about it. Thus, thinking and remembrance of Allah SWT are intertwined.

 

Chapter 64 At-Taghabun

 

 

 

No kind of calamity can occur, except by the leave of allah. and if any one believes in allah, (allah) guides his heart (aright): for allah knows all things. [Verse 11]

 

This leads us back to the purpose of our creation: Remember Allah, live for Him, live for the propagation of the message of Islam until one is truly the ambassador of Allah and His deen.
