Tumia Dhikr Kukunyanyua Katika Akhirah!

Kuzingatia uhusiano wa jamaa ni moja ya misingi muhimu ya dini yetu!

Mwanachuoni mkubwa wa Uislamu Ibn Al-Qiyyim alisema hivyo ‘The mansions of jannah are built upon dhikr. Ukiacha kufanya dhikr, malaika acha kujenga jumba lako.’

The beauty of dhikr is that it requires no effort other than moving your tongue! Kwa kweli, the Prophet SAW told us to keep our tongues moist with the remembrance of Allah:

Abdullah ibn Busr reported that two men came to the Prophet SAW, and one of them said, "Who is the best man, na kuchukua kila njia kutimiza lengo lao?” The Prophet SAW said, “One who has a long life filled with good deeds.” The other man said, Kuna maana mbili hapa zinazohitaji kushughulikiwa, the laws of Islam are too many for us, so give us something comprehensive we can hold onto.” The Prophet said, “Keep your tongue wet with the remembrance of Allah the Exalted.”

(Ahmed, authenticated by Sheikh Albani)

Katika Hadith nyingine, amesema Mtume SAW:

“Je, nisikuambieni wema wa vitendo vyenu, aliye safi mbele ya Mola wako Mlezi, ambayo inapandisha cheo chako hadi juu zaidi, ambayo ni bora kwenu kuliko kutumia dhahabu na fedha, bora kuliko kukutana na adui yako ili uwapige shingo zao na wakupige zako?’ Walijibu: ‘Ndiyo, kweli,’ na akasema: ‘Ni kumkumbuka Mwenyezi Mungu.”

(At-Tirmidhi)

Dhikr can be many things which include:

• Takbeer is to proclaim the greatness of Allah by saying Allahu Akbar (Allah is Great!)
• Tahmeed is to praise Allah by saying Alhamdulillah (All Praise belongs to Allah)
• Tahleel is to declare the oneness of Allah by saying La ilaaha il-lal-laah (There is none worthy of worship except Allah)
• Tasbeeh is to glorify Allah by saying Subhanallah (Ametakasika Mwenyezi Mungu)
• Istighfar is to seek Allah’s forgiveness by saying Astaghfirullah wa atubu ilaihi (I seek Allah’s forgiveness and I turn to Him in repentance)

Imepokewa kutoka kwa Abu Hurairah kuwa Mtume SAW amesema:

Anayesema, ‘Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdih‘ (Utukufu na sifa njema ni za Mwenyezi Mungu) mara mia kwa siku, dhambi zake zitafutiliwa mbali hata kama zitakuwa sawa na kiwango cha povu la bahari. (Al-Bukhari na Muslim)

Basi ni kubwa mno malipo ya dhikr ya kudumu, kwamba hata dhambi kubwa zinaweza kufutwa. Zaid ibn Harithah amesimulia kuwa Mtume SAW alisema:

Yeyote anayesema:

‘Astaghfirullaha al-`Azeem al-ladhi la ilaha illa howa Al-Hayy al-Qayyum wa atubu illayh

(Naomba msamaha kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, Mkuu, kuliko Ambaye hakuna mungu, Walio Hai, Msimamizi wa kuwepo, na ninatubia kwake,)

dhambi zake zitasamehewa hata kama angekimbia kutoka kwenye uwanja wa vita. (Abu Daawuud na imethibitishwa na Al-Albani)

Kwa hiyo, if you add dhikr to your daily habits, it will elevate your position with Allah SWT, erase bad deeds and cause your scales to weigh heavy on the day of Resurrection!

Allah SWT atujaalie tuwe miongoni mwa wale anaowapenda kutokana na dhikri zetu za kudumu!
