THE IMPROTANCE OF ZIKR-E-ILAHI

Every human being wants to lead a successful life. The real and completely successful life has been defined by Allah as Falah (success), which in turn depends on Tazkiyah ( purity of heat  ).    Tazkiyah means that the heat should be rid of all spiritual maladies like jealousy, rancor, haughtiness, show off, back-biting etc. If all these bad qualities vacate the realm of heart, the void thus created would be filled by good qualities which are the hallmark of humanity like sincerity, God consciousness, humility, sympathy, truthfulness and trustworthiness. This is the reality of Tazkiyah.

                                                                Till such time the human heat is at peace, it cannot undertake the job of purification ( Tazkiyah ). When there is a law and order problem in any country, no constructive and positive programs can be implemented.  There is only one method of achieving peace and tranquility which has been described by the Gracious Lord Himself:

“Verily in Allah’s remembrance do hearts find rest”  13:28.

The second aspect which emphasizes Zikr is the Divine warning:

“And obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance”. 18:28

It establishes that neglect of Allah’s remembrance lowers a human being from the high pedestal of humanity and a heedless person is a source of mere delusion, any neglect in Allah’s Zikr must be considered as the demise of one’s heart.
