Ustadh Tariq shared a beautiful narration in his Eid Khutbah: Thabit al-Bunani said, “Verily I know when my Lord remembers me.” When asked how, he replied: “When I remember Allah, He remembers me.”
SubhanAllah. We spend so much of our lives seeking to be seen, remembered, and valued by people—yet the greatest honor is far greater than that: to be remembered by Allah.
This is the promise Allah Himself gives us in the Qur'an 2:152: "Remember Me, and I will remember you."
Pause on that. The Lord of the heavens and the earth—who created you, sustains you, and knows every hidden detail of your heart—promises to remember you when you remember Him.
And the Prophet ﷺ taught that when a servant remembers Allah in a gathering, Allah mentions him in a gathering better than it—the gathering of the angels. And when Allah loves a servant, He calls Jibril, then the inhabitants of the heavens, to love him, and acceptance is placed for him on earth.
At the heart of all of this is what every soul is searching for: tranquility.
Not a fragile peace tied to circumstances, but a deep stillness that remains even in hardship—because the heart knows it is not alone.
“Truly, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.” (Qur’an 13:28)
So whatever is weighing on your heart today, remember this: Allah is greater than it.
Greater than fear. Greater than uncertainty. Greater than every difficulty ahead.
So fill your days with His remembrance—because when you remember Allah, you are not only drawing near to Him… you are being remembered by Him.
