وَاصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ يَ
دْcall upon their Lord morning and evening, seeking His pleasure." [18:28]
Allah ta'ala commanded the Prophet ﷺ to visit the company of the companions and join them.
When this verse was revealed, he ﷺ went out in search for these people. These noble companions had dishevelled hair and were facing poverty. They had not eaten anything
Allah ta'ala loves.
Accumulating worldly possessions is not a true measure of success, even though it is widely valued today. Real honour and respect come when Allah ta'ala loves a person. Such a person is truly worthy of respect.
Those who are ignored and overlooked by the world may in fact be beloved to Allah ta‘ala because of their constant remembrance of Him.
In the Quran, Allah ta'ala has given honour and importance to the act of Dhikr. Those who partake in the gatherings, morning and evening, their status is increased by Allah ta'ala and they are blessed with the presence of the Prophet ﷺ.
We should try to perform those actions through which we may gain respect and regard from Allah ta'ala and not those actions which will merely grant us worldly respect from the people. To achieve true respect, we must become habitual in Dhikr and through it, a person is elevated by Allah ta'ala.
A Dhaakir should always be happy and content. If he attends the morning and evening Dhikr gathering, he should not worry about the lack of wealth and worldly assets he has. The true Dhaakir is satisfied with what he has and is not concerned regarding worldly things, for nothing of the world can compare to the treasure of Dhikr.
We must overcome the hurdles that come in the way of attending these gatherings. We should be punctual and consistent.
May Allah ta'ala allow us to implement these precious pearls. Ameen
