Every moment spent in the remembrance of Allah is auspicious


If we Muslims establish the fear of Almighty Allah in our hearts and seek the benevolence of Allah and shed tears of regret on our present states, then Allah will surely enrich our lives with blessings and our sorrow and cares will be removed.

 

Here we present an anecdote from Tafseer Kabeer, the exegesis of Imam Raadhi (May Allah shower His mercy on him), which is very beneficial for us:

 

Translation: A person came to Hadhrat Imam Hasan Basri (May Allah be well pleased with him) and complained of insufficient rains.  The Imam asked to repent.  Some other person came and complained of being poor, somebody else complained of not having children and somebody else complained about the fruits of his orchards.  Hadhrat Imam Hasan Basri (May Allah be well pleased with him) instructed all of them to repent i.e. to ask Allah for forgiveness.  People were surprised at this.  They said:  People came to you with different complaints and you asked all of them to repent.  In reply, Hadhrat Hasan Basri (May Allah be well pleased with him) recited this verse of the Holy Quran:  Surah Nooh 10,12

 

Every moment spent in remembrance of Allah is lucky

 

Hadhrat Imam Hasan Basri (May Allah be well pleased with him) has declared repentance as the cure for all troubles and instructed the Ummah to turn to Allah.  Nowadays we have to ensure that our days and nights be spent in the remembrance of Allah, that we follow the Shariah and act upon the Holy Quran and the Hadith, that we think over our actions, that we value our time, that we don’t spend time in heedlessness as inauspiciousness will enter our lives only when we become heedless of Allah and His Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and disobey them.

 

It is mentioned in Ruh Al Bayan in the exegesis of a verse of the Holy Quran:

 

Translation: For a slave every moment spent in the obedience of Allah is full of blessings and auspiciousness and every moment spent in disobeying Allah is devoid of blessings for him.  The inauspiciousness is in fact in committing sins.  (Surah Tauba, 37)

 

Indeed the moments we spend in the remembrance of Allah are full of blessings for us, the moments we spend in acting upon Sunnah are auspicious for us, the moments we spend in obeying the laws of Islam are full of mercy for us.

 

May Allah, for the sake of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), fill our hearts with the true beliefs of Islam, guide us to perform virtuous deeds and make us steadfast on the teachings of the Holy Quran and the Hadith.
