Find the Peace Within You With DHIKRULLAAH

When Friday is coming, most people are excited because tomorrow is Saturday and the weekend means time to relax except for those who have to work on Saturday or those who have to attend Saturday classes for the whole day (just like me).

But what is the most important thing about Friday especially for Muslims? - Friday Prayer and you must ( it is mandatory) to listen to both Sermons (Khutbah). Lets make it short. I would love to share some excerpts or quotes from today Sermons which has been delivered in Selangor (the Sermons' topics are different for all states in Malaysia as Islam is a state matter and the Islamic authority for respective state is in charge to prepare the Sermons).

Here some excerpts/quote of today Sermons:

Title:
“ZIKRULLAH : HATI AKAN TENANG” 
"DHIKRULLAAH: THE HEART BECOMES TRANQUIL"

Islam menganjurkan kepada umatnya bagaimana cara untuk mengatasi perasaan tidak tenang dan tidak tenteram, ialah dengan berzikir. Iaitu mengingat kebesaran Allah SWT. Menyebut-nyebut nama Allah, memuji-Nya, merenungkan kekuasaan, sifat, dan 
perbuatan Allah serta mensyukuri nikmat-nikmat-Nya yang dikurniakan kepada kita. Perbuatan itu dapat menghasilkan ketenangan batin kita.

Islam has prescribed for the Muslims on ways to overcome uneasiness and discomfort,
which thru engaging in dhikr (remembrance), meaning to be in the state of remembrance of the greatness and glory of Allah Subhaanahu Wata‘aala. It is to utter Allah’s Names, praising and glorifying Him, contemplating upon His Might, Attributes, and Actions, and also being grateful for all of His Bounties bestowed upon us. These deeds will truly bring about inner (spiritual) peace within us.

Orang yang lupa kepada Allah akan tenggelam ke dalam arus kebimbangan dan keterasingan. Dia akan jauh dari sinaran cahaya hidayah dan akan masuk ke dalam lingkaran kegelapan.

Those that have forgotten about Allah will drown in the sea of worrisome and isolation. They will steer away from the light ofguidance and plunge into darkness.

Seseorang yang sentiasa berzikir kepada Allah, hatinya akan tenteram dan tenang. Dia akan ingat kepada dirinya sendiri dan Allah pun akan ingat kepadanya. Hidupnya akan tenang dan tenteram. Dia akan selalu berada dalam sinaran cahaya hidayah Allah SWT.

The one that is in constant dhikr of Allah, his heart will be calm and serene.He will be mindful of himself and Allah will remember him. His life will be tranquil and peaceful. He will always be under the radiance of hidaayah from Allah SubhaanahuWata‘aala.

Orang yang berzikir akan sentiasa dekat dengan Allah. Dan, Allah pun akan senantiasa bersamanya. Para ulama’ mengatakan, “Zikir atau ingat kepada Allah adalah ubat. Dan, ingat kepada manusia kadangkala adalah penyakit”.

Those that are in constant dhikr will always be close to Allah. Likewise, Allah will always be with them.The scholars have mentioned that, “Dhikr or remembrance of Allah is medicine. And that remembrance of the human being is sometimes an illness.”
