Reviving The Qur'an and Sunnah with Yaqub Islam Imam Shakur Abdulrahim

The Qur'an often reminds us to keep remembrance of Allah at all times. Certainly this is quite a challenge for us forgetful humans, but the merits of remembrance are so great that we must strive for continual remembrance of Allah in every moment.

The following verses, as translated by Yusuf Ali, are examples of what the Qur'an says about remembrance:

Recite what is sent of the Book by inspiration to thee and establish Regular Prayer: for Prayer restrains from shameful and unjust deeds; and remembrance of Allah is the greatest (thing in life) without doubt. And Allah knows the (deeds) that ye do. 29:45

"Go thou and thy brother with My Signs and slacken not either of you in keeping Me in remembrance 20:42

Must Use Qur'an, Sunnah

So I can reason from that, that Allah intends for us to be aware of ourselves, how we are constituted, and what is possible for us, in the way of excellence and deterioration, trouble, etc. And in this day and time — given the problems of person performance and human behavior in this environment, of America, Muslim communities must have leaders who will turn to Qur'an and the Sunnah for solutions.

We know what the philosophers said, but it's more important what Allah said. And Allah says everyone acts according to his own dispositions. You may say, "Well, I know a philosopher who says that." Well, that's okay about your philosopher who said that but his word does not go far with me and with millions and billions of people, than the word of God.
