Prayer is the Method for Remembering Allah Ta'ala

Allah Ta'ala states in the Holy Qur'an, "Verily I am Allah there is none to be worshipped save Me. So worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance." (Surah Ta-Ha, verse 14)


My Beloved Prophet sallalaho alaihe wasallam's beloved devotees! Every particle of the universe is a means to remember Allah Ta'ala. Wherever we look we see His creations. There are untold blessings of His that we see, and upon seeing them we can remember our Lord. Ponder on the fact that in the above-mentioned verse He orders His bondmen to establish prayer for His remembrance. He says, "Establish prayer for My remembrance." From this we see that prayer is the best way to remember Allah Ta'ala. The reason for this is that a person's whole body is in submission to His Creator during prayer. His tongue is busy reciting the words of Allah Ta'ala. His ears are listening to them. His eyes are fixed at the place of prostration (sajdah), and his heart becomes the centre of communicating with Allah Ta'ala. In short, when a person is busy in prayer he is completely in the remembrance of Allah Ta'ala. He gives up all concern for the world and focuses on Allah Ta'ala alone and becomes his humble worshipper. May Allah Ta'ala guide us to remember Him through our prayer. Aameen.
