Worship of the Heart : ( how to be shaakireen)

Worship of the heart 18.8.2011

Recap: how to be shakkarra in everything small and big.
Prophet saws said that Ifd you are not grateful with small thing then you will not be grateful when u have the big things,how to be shakkarra,
By purifying ur heart from sins of heart like jealously,taqabbur.
Make ur heart alive by remembrance of Allah, by seeing the bounties of Allah, the bestower,read Quran
Attribute the blessing to Allah and not on urself.Allah will test u ,she someone praises ur ability then how do u react,do not attribute the blessings to any means.
If u r grateful ,it should reflect on ur tongue by :
1)counting AllAhs blessings generally.
2)or by praising Allah by one particular blessing.

Hadith : a group of men gathered and just sat pondering upon their blessings,especially how they were guided to Islam  ; prophet saws passed by this group of men and asked them what they were doing,so the said they were thinking about their blessings.prophet saws again asked are u sure this is why u have gathered, they re affirmed,so prophet saws said that because of their pondering and appreciating their blessings Allah has forgiven their sins!

Aya 11 sura dhuhaa


Any blessing of Allah we need to talk about it!we need to remember Allahs blessing!
In order to be shakkarr,we need to guard our self from shaytaan,fromppl and other such obstacles.
For egs ,shaytaan whispers and shows u things which you don't have,or u will count the things she doesn have and forget the blessings that they have leading to depression.
This comes not only from shaytan but also from the companions, they can make u from the ungrateful ones.
For egs: we know kids are a blessing , we are grateful to Allah.but pp, when they see a woman with seven kids,also breast feeding a baby and also pregnant,ppl come saying oh poor lady ! This is wrong as u r teaming with shaytan to depress this woman and cause her depression!so companions can also b a cause for being ungrateful,shayaateen from ppl.shayaateen al ins worse than shayaateen al jinn, as we can see their influence more.so prophet saws always encouraged to have good companion to save from evil ,save ur Eemaan.


Levels of Shukar ( darjaat as Shukar )

Shukar in heart:
Shukar Fi lisaan :: we need to talk about our gratitude to Allah
Shukar with limbs : how, by worshipping Allah swt,we need to use the blessing as a bridge towards Allah's pleasure.Allah has given health, good life, children, so I will use my lisaan,tongue and use my limbs to be grateful to Allah. We need to use in doing ibadaata.do not use the blessing in committing a sin, for egs eyes ,do not watch bad movies as I am using the blessing to commit a sin by being ungrateful to Allah swt.ears listening to music.
In order to complete Shukar I must worship Allah to show my gratitude.I will use the blessing to worship Allah,

What means can we use to be grateful

1) whenever you are taking ur blessings for granted ,then look at the ppl who do not have such a blessing then be grateful to Allah.for egs Alhamdulilah I can drink water, but there are pl, who do not have clean water to drink.for egs u r able to acquire knowledge so easily and before I could not and there are ppl who cannot get, then remember to thank Allah for such a blessing.We will be accounted for each of our blessing, evidence Surah Takathur.ALLAH WILL ask us for every blessing in dunya.we will be accountable .
If you want your blessings to be increased be grateful as Allah will give barakah only to theshakireen, if not then the blessing will be taken away .
Hadith : Ansari offered them cold water to abubakr,Omar ,prophet saws, this is from the naeem Aalah will asj u on DOJ.

Duaa : morning n evening supplication
Any blessing I m enjoying,this is all fromAllah swt,

Also in your salat: after Ruku, the duaa to thank all the blessings and praising Allah swt.
Dua after salat, oh Allah help us in thanking Allah in ibaditaka and
