assalamu alaikum,

allahu akbar (allah is the greatest),

How can one say this, when he is behind the creations of ALLAH always,
I mean his mind is always engaged with creations.

The true meaning of this sentence can be understood only, when one, realise the truth
of creations. The reality is existing as such. But the problem is with the sight of ours.

We are not able to see the truth, because of the enemies ALLAH associated with us,
NAFS and SHAITHAN (ego & devil).

A man will be under the control of either ALLAH or NAFS at a time.
NAFS provide a smooth way for SHAITHAN to enter the heart.

Allah says, ‘When Allah’s Zikr is in the heart, shaithan will run away, and whenever he is not in ALLAH’s Zikr, his mind is under the control of SHAITHAN, after which all his mannerisms will be against the will of ALLAH, no matter whether he is performing NAMAZ or reciting QURAN.

That’s the importance of ZIKR. My Shaikh gave me the ‘ZIKRUL ANFAAS”, zikr in every breath,
so that there is no way for SHAITHAN to enter the heart. With every breath we take in and out, we should thank our lord for providing that. Between the stage of two consecutive breaths, our state is dead. It is only ALLAH’s grace that He provide the next breath.

ALLAH SAYS, “True beleivers will remember their lord sitting, standing and laying”. These are the only three states of one man’s body at any time in his life. Allah wish to see all of us remembering Him, every moment in our life, as He is our only helper, by Him only we are here now, and to Him only we all return..

May Allah never ever, separate our hearts from His Zikr..

love
