How to Bring Life to Your Heart – Shaykh Khalid adh-Dhufayri

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

The remembrance of Allah is the life of the hearts; there is no life for them except through it. Al-Bukhari reports in his Saheeh from Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet ﷺ said:

“The example of the one who remembers his Lord and the one who does not remember his Lord is like that of the living and the dead.”

The hearts find no reassurance, no tranquility, no true delight, and no real happiness except through the remembrance of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic.

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَتَطۡمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِۗ أَلَا بِذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطۡمَئِنُّ ٱلۡقُلُوبُ

Those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah – Islamic Monotheism), and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah, Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest. (Ar-Ra’d 13:28)
