Reflect over Luqmฤn's wise advice to his son:
โO my dear son! Establish prayer, encourage what is good and forbid what is evil, and endure patiently whatever befalls you. Surely this is a resolve to aspire to.โ
[Sลซrah Luqmฤn 17]
"If We had sent down this Qurโฤn upon a mountain, you would have seen it humbled and splitting from fear of Allah. And these examples We present to the people that perhaps they will give thought."
[Surah Al-Hashr - Ayah 21]
Do you not know that to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and [that] you have not besides Allah any protector or any helper?
Al-Baqarah 2:107
Narrated `Abdullah:
I visited the Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) during his ailments and he was suffering from a high fever. I said, "You have a high fever. Is it because you will have a double reward for it?"
And that the person who remembers Allah with (only) his tongue and not his heart, (then) the barakah (blessing) is removed from his actions and his time to the extent that his deeds become lost.
The Shaykh (ุฑุญู ู ุงููู) also said:
And in this ayah is an indication to the importance of (having) presence of heart when performing dhikr of Allah.
And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and in fear without being apparent in speech - in the mornings and the evenings. And do not be among the heedless. [7:205]
Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], "Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire.
Narrated Al-Mughira:
The Prophet Muhammad SAW used to stand (in the prayer) or pray till both his feet or legs swelled. He was asked why (he offered such an unbearable prayer) and he said, "should I not be a thankful slave."
Sahih al-Bukhari 1130
