My beloved brothers and sisters, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala tells us to remember him. And he tells us if you remember me, I will remember you.

And be thankful and don't show in gratitude. That is the instruction of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.

My brothers and sisters, many times we go through difficulty and hardship.

Days when we are quite sad, days when we feel lonely, days of anxiety, days when we are facing uncertainty.

Yes, we are human beings. We will go through those days. But we need to understand as human beings, we are taught something.

How to remedy this? Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala speaks about how to remember him. And he will remember us, the verse I just read,

the remembrance of Allah is such that if we were to engage in it, Allah will alleviate whatever we are going through.

So my brothers and sisters, point number one, remember Allah upon all conditions.

Qana Rasulullah, salallahu alayhi wa sallam wa yadqurullah fi kulli ahyanihi.

The messenger piece we upon him used to remember Allah upon all conditions at all times, all situations, every time Subhan Allah.

So what is the remembrance of Allah? Yes indeed, when people say, vicar, the first thing that comes to the minds of many of us is Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illa Allah, praise be to Allah, glory be to Allah.

There is none worthy of worship besides Allah, Allah is the greatest, repeating these words. Yes, that is part of the remembrance of Allah.

But remember to obey his instruction is by far more important than praising him and disobeying him Subhan Allah, Arabic, I mean.

So remember this my brothers and sisters, when you make an effort to obey Allah, you definitely will achieve a lot of contentment and happiness.

You will learn something through which your level of anxiety will be reduced or eradicated. And that is to lay your trust in Allah completely.

Nothing will happen except by the will of Allah. I know that if you are in the right place, you will not be able to know that if the entire nation gathers in order to harm you, they will never be able to harm you at all.

Unless Allah has written something against you, my brothers and sisters, when you obey the instruction of Allah, when you begin to understand who Allah is, when you ponder over the greatness of Allah, over the greatness of the creation of Allah, Allah gives you a comfort.

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gives you a cool calm feeling that of contentment you have laid your trust in Allah.

And you trust Allah so much that you know all your affairs will be managed by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala alone.

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala tells us, those who believe achieve contentment of the hearts by the remembrance of Allah, and indeed it is through the remembrance of Allah that the hearts will achieve contentment and calmness.

So, remembrance of Allah is primarily in the obedience of Allah. Where do we find these instructions? We find them in the Quran and in the Sunnah of the Prophet Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
