تلازم الذكر والفكر The correlation of Praise and Ponder

Abstract

الذكر والفكر عبادتان متلازمتان، تثمران المقامات كلها، من اليقظة إلى التوحيد الخالص، كما تثمران المعارف والأحوال، التي شمَّر إليها السالكون؛ فلا سبيل إلى نيل ثمارها إلا من شجرة الذكر مع حضور الفكر، وكلما عظمت تلك الشجرة ورسخ أصلها كان أعظم لثمرتها وفائدتها، والذكر مع الفكر أصل كل مقام، وقاعدته التي يبنى عليها، كما يبنى الحائط على أساسه، وكما يقوم السقف على جداره.  وذلك أن العبد إن لم يستيقظ من غفلته، ويقوم بالفكر والتفكر، والذكر والتذكر، لا يمكنه قطع منازل السير الموصلة إلى معرفة الله تعالى، التي خلِق الإنسان لأجلها، قال تعالى:)‌وَمَا ‌خَلَقۡتُ ‌ٱلۡجِنَّ ‌وَٱلۡإِنسَ ‌إِلَّا ‌لِيَعۡبُدُونِ( [الذاريات:51/56] (قال مجاهدٌ: معناه إِلاَّ ليعْرفُونِ، قال البغوي: وهذا أحسن؛ لأنه لو لم يخلقهم لم يعرف وجوده وتوحيده، بدليل قوله: )وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ الله( [الزخرف: 43/ 87] ولا يستيقظ المرء إلا بالذكر والفكر؛ فالغفلة نوم القلب أو موته، والذكر مع الفكر يقظته وحياته.

The praise and wonder are a correlating worship, that produces all positions. From vigilance to pure monotheism, as well as Knowledge and statuses that the passing people rolled up to. There is no way to gain what it produces only by praise with the presence of ponder. The greater the praise, the greater benefit and production is. The praise in the presence of ponder is the main the root of every position. The basis that it is getting built on is like how the wall is built on its basis and how a roof is leaned the wall. However, if the slave of Allah does not wake up from his negligence, does not ponder and praise he will not be able to cross the stages that lets you to reach the knowledge of Allah which in fact he is created to do so. As Allah says: (We have not created jinns and mankind except to worship me). (56) (Az-Zariyat)‌إِلَّا ‌لِيَعۡبُدُونِ﴾ ﴿‌وَمَا ‌خَلَقۡتُ ‌ٱلۡجِنَّ ‌وَٱلۡإِنسَ Mujahid said: that means except to know him. Baghawi said: However, that makes more sense; because if they were not created, they would not have known Allah’s presence and monotheism. Where the proof is, (If you ask them Who created them, they will certainly say: "Allah."). (87) (Az-Zukhruf) ﴿وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ الله﴾ (They will not wake up from his negligence except by the Praise and Ponder. Negligence is the sleepness of heart or its death. However, the Praise and Ponder wakes and energizes it again. (Can a person who was dead (ignorant), and whom We raised to life and gave the Light to walk with among people, be like the one who is in the depths of darkness from which he can never come out? Since they treat both alike, the actions of the unbelievers are made lucrative to them). (122) (Al-An’am).
