B472 Verily, In The Remembrance Of Allāh Do The Hearts Find Rest

Description

Thus, Allāh (The Exalted) says:

“Those who believed (in the Oneness of Allāh – Islamic Monotheism), and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allāh: Verily, in the remembrance of Allāh do the hearts find rest.”

So, restfulness of hearts is to be happy and tranquil, free from worries and annoyance; this can be achieved by the remembrance of Allāh. Without the remembrance of Allāh, the heart will die. Abu Musa Al-Asha’ri narrated that the Prophet (May Allāh raise his rank and grant him peace) said:

مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَذْكُرُ رَبَّهُ وَ الَّذِي لَا يَذْكُرُ رَبَّهُ مَثَلُ الْحَيِّ وَ الْمَيِّتِ

“The similitude of one who remembers his Lord and one who does not remember Him is like that of the living and the dead.”
