Unless there is ḏikr 1, there won’t be any interest!
Take this world for example. What increases our interest in it
and brings the world pleasing to us?
Yet, you can taste and smell the world [its physical]
And on the whole, it is available and you can easily experience it.
Experiencing the world does not hurt our heart so much that the “remembrance” of the world takes our hearts.
Although the world is available, if you don’t remind it a lot, it will not be in the heart. [One won’t be dependent on it]
Now, how can Imam Zaman (hgr) who are in occultation, can be in our hearts without reminding him?!
Don’t say” I will remind him, just whenever I miss him!”
No, it’s not the way. Give yourself a program, a reminder program
Notice, your program is to be concise but permanent [repeated]. Then, you will miss Imam Zaman (hgr), little by little…
Whoever loves something, s/ he is greedy and enthusiastic to think about it.
1- Dikr( meaning “remembrance”) is the name of devotional acts in Islam in which short phrases or prayers are repeatedly recited silently within the mind or aloud.
