Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)
by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai ArifiEvery good deed is remembrance of ALLAH.
Hadrat Sa’d bin Jubair (May ALLAH bless him), an acknowledged commentator of the QURAAN and Hadis, has said: Zikrullah (remembrance of ALLAAH) is not confined to tasbih, tahlil and oral zikr, but every deed done in obedience to ALLAAH’s command is also zikrullah, provided the intention is obedience.
Similar is the case with all worldly occupations, if they are done within the frame work of Shari’ah, and the prescribed limits are not transgressed. In such a case, all such occupations which are apparently worldly occupations will fall within zikrullah. [Azkar -I- Nuwaw]
Hadrat Aishah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anha) narrated, “The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) used to remember ALLAAH in all circumstances and conditions. Sometimes I complete my remembrances of ALLAAH while lying in my bed. [Azkar-e-Nuwaw]
Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the houses in which ALLAAH is remembered look like twinkling stars to heavenly people.
