یہ بالکل نہ بھولئے

آپ اگر ذی الحجہ کے ان چند معلوم دنوں میں دن کا روزہ رکھنے سے اور راتوں کو قیام کرنے سے اور اپنے مال میں سے صدقہ کرنے سے رہ گئے ہیں تو کم از کم یہ کہنے اور ایسا ذکر کرنے سے تو آپ عاجز نہیں؟ تو پھر اسے ہی کر گزرئیے۔ کہئے اور بار بار کہئے کئی بار کہئے اور صبح وشام اپنی زبان کو اس سے تر رکھئے۔ یہ باقیات صالحات بھی ہیں:

سبحان اللہ ، الحمد للہ، اللہ أکبر ولا إلہ إلا اللہ

یہ ذکر گناہوں کو ختم کردے گا اور نیکیاں کئی گنا بڑھ جائیں گی اور رب کے ہاں بلند درجے الگ نصیب ہوں گے۔

We often hear that trials increase us in our ranks near Allah. How does that happen?

1. When you are struggling then doing the basics like wudu and salah require greater effort on your part. Greater effort means greater reward, hence increase in ranks.

2. When it is hard to do something, but you push yourself to do it out of the fear of Allah, or out of love or hope or a combination of them all, it is an evidence of your sincerity and commitment to Allah, which are a means of increase in ranks.

3. When you feel you have reached your limit and no longer find in yourself the strength or the will power to continue, you reach out to Allah, and you beg Him to help you. As you begin to remember Allah more, call upon Him more, you draw closer to Him.

4. When you experience loneliness and a feeling of abandonment in your hardship, so that no person shares it with you nor do they help you, you realize that your ultimate, true friend is Allah. You find yourself closer to Allah than to the people around you.

5. When you find yourself in difficulty you do different acts of righteousness to beseech Allah’s mercy. You recite Qur’an, recite salawat, give sadaqah, and all these deeds increase you in your ranks.

6. When you experience a trial, you wonder if it is a consequence of your sins. Perhaps you begin to pay attention to your shortcomings, and how you may be wasting your time in useless things. So, you increase in Istighfar and make a conscious effort to change your actions. This increases you in your ranks also.

7. When you are in hardship you become more aware of the things you can enjoy, and begin to feel grateful for the little things also. Gratitude increases ranks.

8. When you realize your new reality and come to terms with it (at least for the near future) you exhibit complete surrender to Allah’s will, and of course that would increase you in ranks near Allah.

9. When your difficulty has passed and your circumstances have eased, you have increased your capacity to worship Allah. Perhaps now you have increased will power, so you have more patience. May be now you have developed the habit of reciting a daily wird of dhikr and Quran, or perhaps increased the amount. This is a sign that your ranks are increasing.

لَا تَحْسَبُوهُ شَرًّا لَّكُم ۖ بَلْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ
“Do not think it bad for you; rather it is good for you.” [Nur:10]
