In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 26:89] Only those who come to GOD with their whole heart (will be saved).

[Quran 37:40] Only GOD's servants who are absolutely devoted to Him alone (will be saved).


Many of us made extra efforts to remember God and observe Him in Ramadan. But as Ramadan comes to an end will we keep up the devotion? Or will we be among those who get preoccupied with this world and remember God only when they need His help (Quran 7:51, 17:67, 41:49-51)?

To belong in God's kingdom, the Quran exhorts us to remember God "always" (Quran 2:152, 2:200, 3:191, 33:41-42). 

     The Contact Prayers
[Quran 4:103] Once you complete your Contact Prayer (Salat), you shall remember GOD while standing, sitting, or lying down.* Once the war is over, you shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat); the Contact Prayers (Salat) are decreed for the believers at specific times.
*4:103 Your god is whoever or whatever occupies your mind most of the day. In order to belong in God's kingdom, and enjoy His grace and protection, the Quran exhorts us to remember God "always" (2:152 & 200, 3:191, 33:41-42). This profound fact explains the numerous verses asserting that "most" of those who believe in God are going to Hell (12:106, 23:84-89, 29:61-63, 31:25, 39:38, 43:87). See Footnote 3:191 and Appendix 27.


May God help us to remember Him and be among those who please Him daily.
