“…while we exalt You with praise and declare Your perfection?…” Chapter 2 Al Baqarah, verse 30.
In a Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 6407, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, advised that the difference between the person who remembers Allah, the Exalted, and the one who does not is like a living person compared to a dead person.
It is important for muslims to remember Allah, the Exalted, as much as possible in order to create a strong connection with Him so that they can overcome all difficulties in both this world and the next.
This vital goal is only achieved by practically acting on the three levels of the remembrance of Allah, the Exalted. The first level is to remember Allah, the Exalted, internally and silently. This includes correcting one’s intention so that they only act in order to please Allah, the Exalted. The second level involves remembering Allah, the Exalted, through one’s tongue. But the highest and most effective way of strengthening one’s bond with Allah, the Exalted, is practically remembering Him with one’s limbs. This is achieved by fulfilling His commands, refraining from His prohibitions and being patient with destiny according to the traditions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. This requires a muslim to gain and act on Islamic knowledge which in turn is the root of all good and success in both worlds. Those who remain on the first two levels will receive reward according to their intention but they are unlikely to increase the strength of their faith and piety unless they move to the third and highest level of the remembrance of Allah, the Exalted.
