The Power of Dhikr | Friday Sermon by Bilal Elsakka
Les avantages du rappel d'Allah (dhikr) en Islam by XamSaDine
Causas del estancamiento:Ghaflah (negligencia/olvido de Dios): distraerse con lo mundano y olvidar el propósito eterno.Pecados recurrentes: aunque sean pequeños, apagan la luz del corazón. El Profeta ﷺ dijo: “Cuando el siervo comete un pecado, una mancha negra se deposita en su corazón. Si se arrepiente y pide perdón, se pule. Pero si insiste, esa mancha crece hasta cubrir su corazón.” (Hadiz narrado por Tirmidhi).Rutina sin reflexión: hacer actos de adoración solo como costumbre, sin conciencia (khushu‘).Alejamiento del Corán y del dhikr: no recitar, reflexionar ni recordar a Allah con frecuencia.--------------------------------------------------------------------------Síntomas del estancamiento:Pérdida de entusiasmo por el salat (oración).Frialdad en la fe, rezar sin concentración.Desapego del Corán y las súplicas.Menor sensibilidad frente a lo prohibido o al pecado.Falta de motivación para aprender más o hacer buenas obras.--------------------------------------------------------------------------El islam ofrece varias herramientas para revivir el corazón:Tawbah (arrepentimiento sincero): volver a Allah con humildad.Renovar la intención (niyyah): recordar por qué se hacen los actos de adoración.Dhikr y súplicas constantes: el recuerdo de Allah es descrito como lo que da “vida a los corazones”.Recitación y reflexión del Corán: no solo leer, sino comprender y aplicar.Compañía piadosa (suhbah salihah): rodearse de personas que recuerdan y motivan hacia lo espiritual.Variedad en la adoración: alternar entre oración, ayuno voluntario, caridad, lectura, para evitar la monotonía.Reflexión sobre la muerte y el Más Allá: en muchos hadices se aconseja recordar la muerte como antídoto contra la negligencia.
You've heard the world's noise about “quiet time” - mindfulness, meditation, deep breaths… but did you ever stop and ask: “Wait, where's this in our Deen?” Let's take a seat (literally) and discover how Islam taught us the power of pausing before it became cool. In this heartfelt session, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) takes us behind the scenes of spiritual productivity - where ‘doing nothing' is actually doing everything that matters. Learn why the Prophet ﷺ said that just sitting, waiting for the next prayer, counts as the highest struggle - jihad, ribat! Find out why those awkward, fidgety moments before the Adhan or Iqama are actually prime time for Dua to be accepted. And discover what “Aisha-time” really meant in the Prophet's masjid (hint: no clocks, just pure presence and trust). Whether you're addicted to hustle culture or allergic to sitting still, this talk will flip your perspective. Shaykh (rA) shares personal stories, a touch of humor, and a powerful reminder: quiet time is a prophetic pathway back to Allah. Put your phone away, calm the mind, pick up your Qur'an, and watch your ‘doing nothing' become the most rewarding part of your day.
The beauty of Dhikr - Dr. Najeeb Ibrahim by Radio Islam
In this enlightening lecture, Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman Mangera delves into the profound insights of Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazali on the journey of the soul from death to resurrection, as explored in his celebrated works, particularly "Dhikr al-Mawt wa-ma Ba'dahu" (Remembrance of Death and What Follows). Drawing from Imam Ghazali's meticulous treatment of the stages of the afterlife, the lecture covers key topics such as the reality of death, the soul's separation from the body, the experiences of the grave (Barzakh), and the eventual resurrection (Qiyamah). With a blend of theological depth and spiritual reflection, Dr. Mangera brings clarity to Ghazali's perspective on how one's deeds shape the soul's state after death and offers practical advice for living a life of awareness, preparation, and moral responsibility.

The Messenger ﷺ used to prefer silent Zhikr which could not be heard even by the guardian (Angels [as]), as being 70 times superior (ie to the loud Zhikr). Any servant who lays his head down on his bed and remembers Allah (SWT) Most High will then be written as remembering (ie Allah [SWT]) until he awakes - whenever he awakens (Ibn Al Mubarak). "O Allah (SWT), exalt Muhammad ﷺ, Your servant and Messenger ﷺ and exalt the Believers, men and women - and the Muslims, men and women (Ibn Hibaan). Much Zhikrullaah and Salaatun Nabee ﷺ banishes poverty ( Ithaaf). Send Salaah upon me ﷺ, for this is a Zakaah for you (Ahmad). Whoever desires to be given a full reward when invoking Blessings upon my household should recite, O Allah (SWT), exalt Muhammad ﷺ the Prophet, his Wives the Mothers of the Believers, his offspring and the people of his Household - as You exalted Ibraaheem (A.S.) -truly You are the Praiseworthy, Majestic (Abo Dawood). Whoever likes this that Allah SWT is pleased with him when he is presented in the Court of Allah SWT should then recite Salaah upon me ﷺ in abundance (Musnad). Undoubtedly, the one amongst you to gain the quickest relief on the Day of Judgement from its horrors and the reckoning will be the one who recited Salaah upon me ﷺ in abundance (Musnad). 'Recite Salaah upon me ﷺ (then) Allah (SWT) will send mercy upon you (Ibn Adee). Adorn your assemblies with invoking Blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ (Ibn Assakir).
The Kalima & The Water Jug "Glorification with the praise of Allah (SWT) on the page (ie record) of the Believer is better for him_(ie whether you comprehend it or not) than_for golden mountains _of this_world to move about with him (ie at his disposal) (Baihaqi). Allah (SIT) has not favoured anyone of His servants with anything better than that He (SWT) gives him to His Zhikr (Tabarani). "Strengthen the bond between you and your Lord (SWT) with an abundance of Zikir (Ibn Majah). "Allah (SWT) Says, "I (SWT) am with My servant when he remembers Me (SWT) and his lips move to remember Me (SWT) (Ahmad). Glorification when seeking a need is better than a camel full of milk which one of you brings during a year of famine (Ibn Abi Shahbah). "When a group of people gather, the closest of them to Allah (SWT) is the one who begins by mentioning Allah (SWT) until they are all flowing in His Remembrance. When a group of people gathers, the one furthest from Allah (SWT) is the one who begins with evil and then makes them all engrossed with it (Abu Nu'aym).

Salam Aleykoum ma sœur, j'espère que tu vas bien.Aujourd'hui, j'aimerais te parler d'un sujet important et parfois délicat : l'arrêt de la musique dans notre vie de musulmane. Peut-être que, comme moi, tu as grandi en écoutant de la musique au quotidien, ou peut-être qu'elle t'accompagne tout le temps. Mais aujourd'hui, je souhaite qu'on réfléchisse ensemble à l'impact spirituel de la musique.Dans plusieurs enseignements prophétiques, il est clairement mentionné que la musique peut éloigner notre cœur de la proximité d'Allah. Le Prophète Muhammad ﷺ nous a mis en garde contre l'écoute des instruments de musique, car ils peuvent remplir notre cœur de distractions et nous empêcher de trouver la paix intérieure dans la prière et la lecture du Coran.C'est un défi de se détacher de quelque chose auquel nous sommes attachés depuis longtemps. Mais accepter de se libérer de la musique peut vraiment transformer notre relation avec Allah, en nous apportant plus de sérénité et en renforçant notre concentration dans les actes d'adoration.Allah connaît ce qui est le mieux pour nous, même si parfois nous ne comprenons pas immédiatement les raisons derrière certains décrets. En arrêtant la musique, nous donnons la priorité à des moments plus enrichissants : l'écoute du Coran, les anachids sans instruments, et des moments de Dhikr. Cela renforce notre foi et nous rapproche de notre Créateur.Qu'Allah nous guide et nous donne la force de faire ce choix pour notre bien spirituel.N'oublie pas que chaque petit pas vers Allah est un pas vers la paix intérieure.Inès JasmineSi tu veux me rejoindre sur mes réseaux sociaux :Instagram: @jvssmn_Snapchat: Jass-insTiktok: Jvsmnet pour retrouver toute ma gamme de carnets religieux : Inesjasmine.fr
