The Power of Dhikr:
When we have dhikr always on our tongues, we have a constant connection with God, even as we go about our daily routines. When things are going well, or when things are hard, we have this lifeline to Allah, this constant stream of praise going up, and blessings coming down. Our spirits are lighter, our hearts happier. We are grateful for everything we have, because we remember that every single little blessing – good health, the comfortable beds we sleep in, a glass of milk we had for breakfast, even our beating hearts and the breath in our lungs – comes from Allah.
By constantly praising Allah, we keep Him in our minds and hearts. The more we do so, the more we come to desire His love, His forgiveness, and His presence. The more we think about Allah, the more we want to please Him. It becomes a beautiful cycle of remembrance and blessings, reinforcing each other.
Those who seek God and remember Him will find contentment and joy in their lives with the knowledge that they are under the protection of Allah. When we utter praise to the Almighty and thank Him for his countless bounties, our hearts are filled with inner peace and reflection. How happy and blessed are those who seek refuge in their Lord, the Most Beneficent and Most Merciful Allah.
“Truly in the heart there is a void that can not be removed except with the company of Allah. And in it there is a sadness that can not be removed except with the happiness of knowing Allah and being true to Him. And in it there is an emptiness that can not be filled except with love for Him and by turning to Him and always remembering Him And if a person were given all of the world and what is in it, it would not fill this emptiness.” (Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya)

This is what I've been searching for... All these years, there is an emptiness in my heart that I couldn't explain. I was loved by someone, I was loving someone. This love filled my heart. But, there was a part of my heart that can't be filled by this love. I was seeking to find anything that can fill this emptiness, but I couldn't find it anywhere, until I found... Him... My God. The love that He give to me fills all part of heart, my whole heart.. Until I find the happiness that I can't find anywhere else, until I feel the peacefulness that I can't feel anywhere else.
I can feel that He loves me. And I don't want to lose His love (again). I will keep this love, however hard it is, till the day I die. I wish that He will always guide me and bless me with His love till the end of my life, because without His guidance I feel lost and without His love I feel so empty.
Wallahualam bishawab...
