Topic: VERILY IN THE REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH DO HEARTS FIND REST.
As-Salam Alaykum Waramotullahi Wabarakatuhu
Verily, in the remembrance of ALLAH do hearts find rest (Quran 13:28). Truthfulness is beloved by ALLAH and is the purifying soap for the heart and there is no deed that gives such pleasure to the heart, or has greater reward than the remembrance of ALLAH. "Therefore remember Me, and I will remember you (Quran 2:152)" remembrance of ALLAH is HIS paradise on earth, and whosoever does not enter it will not enter the paradise of thereafter. (A place of calm and safety). Remembrance is not only a safe haven from the problems and worries of this world but it is also the short and easy path to achieving ultimate success (Al-jannah /Paradise). Read the various text that refer to the remembrance of ALLAH and you will appreciate its benefits.
When you remember ALLAH, clouds of worry and fear are driven away and the mountains that make-up your problems are blown away. We should not be surprised when we hear that people who remember ALLAH are at peace. What is truly surprising is how the negligent and unmindful survive without remembering HIM. gThey are dead, lifeless and they know not when they will be raised up (Quran 16:21)h
O! whosoever complains of sleepless nights and is in shock over his misfortunes call out His Holy Name. gDo you know of any that is similar to HIM; [There is nothing like unto HIM and he is The All-hearer, The All-seer] (Quran 19:65).
To the degree that you remember ALLAH, your heart will be calm and cheerful. His remembrance carries with it the meaning of total dependence upon him, of turning to Him for aid, of having good thoughts about Him and of waiting for victory from Him. Truly He is near when supplicated; He hears when he is called and he answers when he is invoked, so humble yourself before him and ask of Him sincerely. Repeat His beautiful blessed name, and mention him as being alone and worthy of worship. Mention is praises, supplicate to Him and ask for forgiveness from him; you will then find (by his will) HAPPINESS, PEACE and ILLUMINATION- heart filled with light. So ALLAH gave them the reward of this world, and the excellent reward of the hereafter.

SECTION B
THREE MISTAKES THAT ARE COMMON IN OUR EVERYDAY LIVES.
1. Wasting time
2. Talking about matters that do not concern us, matters that are not part of our business. "From the goodness of onefs Islam is leaving alone that which does not concern him"
3. Being preoccupied with trivia issues, listening to rumours, predictions and gossip are three common examples. Having these characteristics results in Paranoia, anxiety and lack of purpose in life.
gSo ALLAH gave them the reward of this world and the excellent reward of the Hereafter (Quran 3:148)h also "My guidance shall neither go astray nor fall into distress and misery (Quran 20:123)"
