Words of Wisdom
When people are going through difficulties, one of the things that will bring them some peace is remembering Allah. The scholars of Tafsir said that remembering Allah means many things, including His justice, favors, promises, names and attributes, etc. When people remember all these things and have the best hopes and expectations from Allah, their hearts will find happiness, peace, and tranquility. The hadith reminds us that if we remember Allah, then Allah will be with us, and if Allah is with us, we should be assured that in sha Allah, everything will be okay, and He will take care of us in the best way. We pray to Allah that He allows us to remember Him and that He brings peace to our hearts in this world and the hereafter. Ameen
Hadeeth of the Day
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger () as saying:
Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said: I live in the thought of My servant and I am with him as he remembers Me. Sahih Muslim
