Religion To Be Devoted Slave Of Allah
1 - You have to revive the faith in your heart. Faith is what will bring the Muslim everything he seeks in this world and in the Hereafter. Faith is the key to all goodness and locks the door to all evil. The means of reviving and strengthening faith in one's heart are many and varied, including doing a lot of acts of worship and righteous deeds.2 - You must turn to your Lord sincerely, as it says in the report: "If My slave turns to me inwardly and outwardly, I will turn the hearts of My slaves to him with love and mercy." Allaah has made worship the ultimate aim and loftiest purpose of man: "And I (Allaah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone)"[al-Dhaariyaat 51:56] 3 - You should always set your sights on the highest degrees, and make your goal in life to earn the pleasure of Allaah, and strive to attain the victory of Paradise, or to attain the highest Firdaws. You should strive as hard as you can to achieve these lofty aims. 4 - You should follow the example of historical Muslim figures such as the Sahaabah, Taabi'een and righteous forebears (the salaf). 5 - You should make the most of every minute, every moment and every heartbeat to use it in such a way as to increase your faith. 6 - You should try to keep company with righteous people, because the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "A man will follow the religion of his close friend, so let each one of you look at whom he befriends." Narrated by Abu Dawood and al-Tirmidhi with a hasan isnaad. Good friends are one of the best means of helping you to obey Allaah and to avoid sin and error. 7 - Doing a lot of righteous deeds which will bring you happiness in this world and in the Hereafter. 8 - Praying qiyaam al-layl, making du'aa' in the time just before dawn. The feet of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to swell because of his desire to be a thankful slave, even though Allaah had forgiven his previous and future sins. 9 - Persisting in reading a portion of Qur'aan daily, and other dhikr that helps you to think and ponder the meanings of the Qur'aan. 10 - Striving to spread the word and make da'wah for the sake of Allaah, and working for Islam as much as possible. If you want to reach the status of devoted slave for which you long, then be as Allaah commanded His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "Say (O Muhammad): Verily, my Salaah (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allaah, the Lord of the 'Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists)"[al-An'aam 6:162] Being a devoted slave of Allaah means declaring one's devotion and belonging to the Lord, which can only be achieved by applying this aayah, so that we are for Allaah, the Lord of the Worlds, in all our affairs. Being a devoted slave of Allaah can only be fully achieved in this manner; it can only be achieved by worshipping Allaah in the fullest sense of the word, which means making our living and dying, and all our movements, for Him alone. So we only speak that which is pleasing to Allaah; we only do that which is pleasing to Allaah; we focus our intention in these words and deeds only on Allaah. Worship should not be reduced to merely raising and lowering our heads at certain times, or giving a few pennies every once in a while, or fasting a few days each year, or moving our lips to say a few words and dhikrs. Hence the deeds that lead to this status - of being a devoted slave - are innumerable and may take many shapes in all aspects of our lives and the places where we live. This is by the bounty of Allaah towards us and towards all people. Just look, in every place where you find yourself and every moment that comes to you, for that which will please Him, and what you think He wants to see you doing, and do it. Then you will be a devoted slave.
