Khutbah: The Blessings of Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah) ~ Dr. Yasir Qadhi

Imagine that you're about to cross the road, you look right and left there is no vehicle insight and as you begin to cross the road suddenly a truck rushes in front of you at full speed and you jump back startled and shaken.
What would be the first word that you'd utter in this situation? For many people it would be a four-letter curse word which respectable people would never utter.
This could have been your last moment on earth and the final word on your tongue would have been a swear word or a curse!
How many times does a calamity befall us and our instant reaction to that incident is words other than the remembrance and thanks of Allah?
The Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said "If anyone's last words are 'la ilaha ila Allah' (There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah) he will enter Paradise." ~ [Collected by Sunan Abi Dawud]
Many of us assume it would be easy for us to say this phrase at the time of our death, but at the time of death the senses of the mind weaken and the tongue only speaks that which is in the heart.
One of the ways to ensure that our tongue utters words of gratitude, praise and glorification of Allah when any calamity befalls us is to immerse ourselves in the remembrance of Allah whilst we are still alive.
In this khutbah Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi​ enlightens us with some of the blessings of Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah) and in the second-half of the khutbah he shares his thoughts on the current global crisis of refugees.
Recorded on 28th August 2015

This is very true. Dhikr brings you constantly to your center. No matter how situations turn in life, I found this to be the KEY to getting closer to Allah(swt). I have been practicing this as a child and now teach my children... I find the best time to Dhikr is early in the morning, late at night (especially when my body refuses to sleep) and moments of fasting.

[@forward6126]

Definitely right. Fajr and after Isha onwards, no sweeter time than that...

[@thelightofislam5090]

Alhamdulillah. We Take good summary of Dikir

[@418matrix]

1. Quran: Ultimately, the best dhikr is reading the Quran. Reward: You will be rewarded 10 rewards for every letter read. This prize basically illustrates the weight of the Quran in terms of where it should be in your life. 2. SubhanAllah or SubhanAllah wa bihamdihi (“I praise Allah (or All praise if to Allah) above all attributes that do not suit His Majesty.”) Reward: A tree will be planted for you in Paradise. Nice! Start growing your own forest right now! Another hadith relates that whoever says this 100 times a day, his/her sins will be forgiven even if they were as much as the foam of the sea [Bukhari]. 3. Alhamdulillah (“All praise is for Allah”) Reward: Your scales will be tipped on the Day of Judgment, full of rewards! 4. SubhanAllah wal hamdulillah, wa la ilahaillAllah wa Allahu akbar “I praise Allah (or All Praise if to Allah) above all attributes that do not suit His Majesty. All praise is for Allah. There is no deity worthy of worship besides Allah. Allah is Great.” Reward: This combination of dhikr is the one most beloved by Allah, subhana wa ta’ala. When you say them, sins fall off of you like leaves off of trees. 5. La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (“There is no power or might except (by) Allah.”) Reward: You will enter through a special door in Paradise for those who oft use this remembrance. 6. SubhanAllah (x33), Alhamdulillah (x33), Allahu akbar (x34) Can be recited after salat and before you go to bed/sleep. (“I praise Allah (or All praise if to Allah) above all attributes that do not suit His Majesty. All praise is to Allah. Allah is Great.”) Reward: We know that this dhikr is said after each salah, but when Fatima raḍyAllāhu 'anha (may Allāh be pleased with her) the daughter of the Prophet came to her father requesting a servant to help with the household, the Messenger of Allah ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) told her to repeat the dhikr before her sleep and the results would be better than having a servant. 7. Astaghfirullah (“I seek Allah’s forgiveness”) Reward: You will get protection from Allah’s punishment. In Surah Nuh, ayah 10-12, Allah relates the story of Prophet Nuh and how he instructed his people to seek Allah’s forgiveness. If they would just say “astagfirullah,” Allah would sent them rain in abundance, and increase their wealth and children, and give them gardens and rivers in Paradise. 8. Ayahtul-Kursi [2:255] Reward: When you recite this verse before you go to sleep, Allah sends a guardian to you and no shaytan will come to you until morning. Those who read this after each salah shall enter Paradise.
