PILLARS OF LIGHT INTERCEDE FOR THE RECITORS OF THE KALIMAH
There are many things that also seek forgiveness for those who recite the kalimah; this is a great reward for them. What does Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam say about this? Let's study the following hadith.
Hazrat Abu Hurairah Radiallaho Ta'ala 'Anhu narrates that Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam said "Undoubtedly, opposite the Throne (Arsh) of Allah Ta'ala is a pillar of light. Whenever someone recites La Ilaha Illal Laah that pillar starts to shake. Allah Ta'ala says "Stop", the pillar says "How can I stop? The person that recited kalimah has not been forgiven yet. Allah Ta'ala says "I have forgiven that person." Then the pillar stops shaking.
My Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam's beloved devotees, what can be a greater benefit than the fact if we recite the kalimah, then the pillar of light starts to shake and asks for the recitor's forgiveness. We realise that everything
s those that recite the kalimah. We should keep the tongue, that Allah Ta'ala has blessed us with, in His remembrance so that all the creations of Allah Ta'ala seek our forgiveness. May Allah Ta'ala give us the guidance to do this. AameenINTERCESSION OF THE THRONE (ARSH)
In one narration it is reported that Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam was delivering a lecture on the pulpit (mimbar) when a Bedouin arrived. He said "I am a great sinner and also have a lot of jealousy in me." Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam told him to sit down. When the lecture was completed, Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam called the Bedouin. He presented his plight. Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam asked him, " Are your sins more than the number of stars?" He replied "Yes." He was then asked "Are your sins greater than grains of sand in the desert?" "Yes", he replied.
"Are your sins more than the raindrops?" "Yes" was the reply from the Bedouin.
"Are your sins more than the number of leaves on the trees?" Once again the reply was "Yes"
"Are your sins greater than the Mercy of Allah Ta'ala?" The Bedouin stayed quiet for a long time and then began to cry. Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam said "Do not despair, recite La Ilaha Illal Laah and all your sins will be forgiven, no matter how many sins you have." Then he stated "If anyone recites La Ilaha Illal Laah night and day, in such a manner that he stretches the "Laa"(with a Madh), then Allah Ta'ala forgives sins equivalent to 4000 years. When one recites this, the Throne of Allah Ta'ala starts to move. Allah Ta'ala orders "O throne, be still." The Throne says "Oh Allah, forgive the recitor of the kalimah so that I can be at peace." Allah Ta'ala then Says, " I have forgiven him."
My Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam's beloved devotees, if we look at our lives and try to count our sins, then I believe that we will feel that our whole life has been spent in sins. However Allah's Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam is comforting us by telling us that Allah Ta'ala's Mercy is greater than anything else. He is telling us that the Mercy of Allah Ta'ala is supreme so come and recite Kalimah sincerely and Allah Ta'ala will forgive your past sins. The whole kalimah has great blessings, and if the first part (Laa) is stretched, then our Lord forgives 4000 years of sins. Here to recite kalimah means to first sincerely ask for forgiveness and promise not to commit sins in the future.
Subhan Allah, very fortunate are those people who constantly recite kalimah and remember Allah Ta'ala. May Allah Ta'ala bestow on us the blessings of the kalimah and make us worthy of His Mercy. Aameen
