The Virtues of Dhikr

One of the best forms of worship is actually the simplest – the constant remembrance of Allah SWT through dhikr.

Abu Ad-Darda’ (Kia pai a Allah ki a ia) narrated that the Prophet said:

“Kaore ahau e whakamarama ki a koe mo o mahi, He pai ki te aroaro o to Ariki, e whakaara ana i to raarangi ki te teitei, He pai ke atu i a koe i te whakapau koura, i te hiriwa, He pai ake i te whakatau i to hoariri kia pa ana koe ki o ratou kaki, ka patua e ratou?’ Ka whakahoki ratou: 'Ae, koia anō,’ ka mea ia: 'Ko te whakamaharatanga ki a Allah.”

(At-Tirimāri)

I tetahi atu hadith, I korero a Abu Hurairah kua kitea e te Peropheta:

Te tangata e mea ana, ‘Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdih’ (Kia whai kororia te kororia me te whakamoemiti ki a Allah) kotahi rau wa ia ra, Ko ona hara ka waiho kia rite ki te whānuitanga o te pahuka o te moana.

(Al-Bukhari me Muslim)

Na he nui te utu o te dhikr tonu, ko nga hara nui ka taea te whakakore. I korero a Zaid Ibn Harithah kua kite te Peropheta:

Ko te hunga e mea ana:

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

(Ka tono ahau i te murunga o Allah, te mea ataahua, nui atu i te mea kaore he atua, te mea ora, te supertainer o te noho, a ka tahuri ahau ki a ia i te ripeneta) Ka murua ona hara, ahakoa kua rere ia i te pakanga o te pakanga.

(Abu Dawud me te Whakamanahia e Al-Albani)

Ko te tohunga nui o Ihirama Ibn al-Qiyyyim i kii ‘The mansions of jannah are built upon dhikr. Mena ka mutu koe ki te mahi dhikr, Ka mutu nga anahera ki te hanga i to wharenui.’

Ma te Atua e whakaputa i roto i a tatou i roto i te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia mo ta tatou amenr dhikr amen!
