Just a reminder of the importance to remember Allah, SWT, in all the different situations in our daily life.
I my little book I have, it says on the first page,
''The Messenger of Allah, PHUB, related that Allah ordered Yahyaa Ibn Zakariyyah, as, with five commandments; to act upon them and convey them to the Children of Israa'eel (the fifth one being): ''...and I order you to make mention of Allah often, as this is like a man being pursued at speed by the enemy until he reaches a protected fortress and so protects himself inside it, likewise is the servant, he can only protect himself from the shaytaan through remembrance of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.'' (Saheeh Al-Jaami 1724)
