أَنَا عِنْدَ حُسْنِ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي I am according to the good thinking of My Servant of Me. (Hadith Qudsi) So if we say, “Yaa Rabbee, make our days and nights, make all our years on the same manifestation of the Beautiful Names and Attributes that you send on the last hour of Friday, to make them all like that,” and you are asking and saying, “Yaa `Afoow, yaa Ra’oof, yaa Rahmaan, yaa Hannaan, yaa Mannaan, yaa Dayyaan, yaa Subhaan, yaa Dayyaan,” would He say no? He says, “Come to Me with all your sins, My Doors are open from East to West!” There is no exit, you enter, but no exit. When you enter inside and it is wrapped, so let us say from the day of birth to this moment, everything is inside now wrapped in it, because you asked forgiveness, so Allah will forgive.

Allah(God) is the One who needs no one. Allah gives, He takes nothing from creation. He does not need our obedience, nor does He need our worship. Our deeds of worship are in reality, completely worthless to Him. It adds nothing to His Greatness. He is the Most Rich, the One without any Need. Yet, Man performs worship, as if he is doing a favour for His Lord! Man, on the other hand, is always in need, whether it be directly from Allah, or through a creation.

It is known that the heart will get rusted just as copper and silver get rusted.” Gold doesn't rust, but silver and copper get rusted due to oxygen in the atmosphere, and the atmosphere of the heart is the body. So the body has its own environment and atmosphere which affect the purity and cleanliness of the heart. If that environment within the body is rusted, then for sure the heart will begin to rust slowly, slowly. So for copper and silver you need to polish it, and the way to polish the heart is you need an instrument that can polish, and it is by dhikrullah. Wa jalaauhu bi ‘dh-dhikr, “The heart's cleanliness is through dhikrullah.” So dhikrullah will make the heart clean and back to normal, and make it like a mirror. When you are a mirror, you reflect; if I put a mirror in front of you, it reflects your picture. The heart becomes a mirror and reflects what you cannot see into the heart, because the heart is clean. So all these realities around us that we cannot see are reflected on your heart when you polish your heart with dhikrullah. So dhikrullah gets you to see the realities that you cannot see through anything else except through dhikrullah.
