A Precious Gem: The Reward Of Being Busy In The Service Of Allaah

The Doctor Of The Heart Imam Muhammad Bin Abi Bakr Al-Jauziya (Ibn Qayim)Rahimahullah Said:

"If The Servant Of Allah Begins the day and the evening, without having any other concern except Allah, The Almighty. He will fulfil all his needs and relieve all his worries. He Will Empty the servants heart for the sake of his love, his tongue will constantly remember him and will have the strength to perform religious duties for His Sake.

And if he begins the day and the evening, without having any other concern except the life of this world, Allah, The almighty will cast worry and grief into his heart. He, the almighty will leave him to himself, and keep his heart busy with things other than his love. His tongue will not remember Allah but will only be concerned with the creation. He will use all his strength in other than the sake of Allah, and he will remain busy in the service of creation. He will work very hard in the service of Others. Just like a bellows that pumps itself up and then squeezes itself to the utmost in the service of others. Therefore, whoever refuses to submit to Allah, to obey and love Him, will be afflicted with the Servitude, Love & the service of creation.

Allah The Almighty says in the quran

•و من يعش عن ذ كر الر حمن نقيض له شيطا نا فهو له قر ين•



Which means “and whosever turns away (blinds himself) from the remembrance of the Most Beneficent (Allah) (I.e this quran and the worship of Allah). We appoint for him Shaitan (Satan devil) to be a Qarin (and intimate companinon) to him.“ [Az-zukhurf] 43:36)

Abu Sufyan bin Uyaynah said, you will never bring forward any famous proverb but I will bring any famous proverb but I will bring the likeness of it from the Quran. “Thereupon someone said to him,”So where is in the Quran "Give your fellow brother a date, and if he does not accept it then give him a firebrand." He then recited the previous Quranic verse.

Jazak'Allah Khayr!

May Allaah (SWT) rewards you with great blessings, Ameen!

^ We should try our best to begin our day with remembering Allaah (SWT) alone, and prepare to have concern of one and one mission only, and that's to seek the pleasure of Allaah (SWT) alone, Lord of the Worlds. Indeed, Allaah (SWT) is PraiseWorthy!
