#Part 9 - Dzikir Setelah Shalat & Menjelang Tidur - KH. M. Agus Nafi’, S.Ag., M.Pd.I.

Summary

This sermon highlights two simple yet powerful acts of worship that can lead to eternal rewards: zikr (remembrance of Allah) after prayer and before sleep. Although these practices are easy, few people actually perform them. The speaker emphasizes that performing zikr after prayer (10 times tasbih, hamdalah, and takbir) and before sleep (34 times takbir, 33 times hamdalah, 33 times tasbih) brings immense blessings, including the promise of Jannah (paradise). The difficulty in maintaining these practices is attributed to distractions, such as the whispers of Satan or worldly concerns. Ultimately, the message encourages us to integrate these simple acts into our daily lives to secure Allah's mercy and entry into paradise.

Takeaways

• 😀 Zikir after prayer (tasbih, hamdalah, takbir) is a light but powerful act of worship that brings great reward.
• 😀 Zikir before sleep (takbir 34 times, hamdalah 33 times, tasbih 33 times) is another simple act of worship with immense reward.
• 😀 Both practices are easy to perform but are often neglected by many people due to distractions, especially from Satan.
• 😀 The reward for performing these two zikirs is the promise of Paradise (Jannah).
• 😀 Satan distracts people from performing zikirs, especially before sleep, by causing them to forget or focus on other tasks like using their phones.
• 😀 The practice of zikir after prayer is also often neglected because people focus on their immediate needs after prayer.
• 😀 Despite their simplicity, these zikirs are highly recommended and should be part of a believer’s daily routine.
• 😀 The difference in the number of recitations (10 times vs 33 times) between narrations does not diminish their spiritual value, as both are valid.
• 😀 Different narrations of zikirs offer flexibility, allowing people to choose based on their preference, but both are beneficial.
• 😀 It is essential to ask scholars for guidance when unsure about specific practices or narrations related to religious worship.

Q & A

What are the two practices mentioned in the script that are considered light but rarely performed?

The two practices mentioned are: 1) Reciting specific dhikr (Tasbih, Hamdalah, Takbir) after prayer, and 2) Reciting dhikr (Takbir, Hamdalah, Tasbih) before sleeping. Both are light to perform but few people carry them out.

Why are these two practices considered light but not widely performed?

These practices are considered light because they require minimal time and effort, yet many people neglect them due to distractions such as daily tasks or influence from Shaytan, who distracts individuals from remembering Allah.

What does the hadith say about the reward for performing these two dhikr practices?

The hadith mentions that anyone who performs these two practices will enter Jannah (paradise), as they are light but carry immense reward.

What is the significance of performing dhikr after prayer and before sleep?

The dhikr after prayer and before sleep are significant because they help a person remain in the remembrance of Allah, bringing them peace and a closer connection to Him. Additionally, they help protect the individual from Shaytan’s whispers.

Why is it difficult for people to perform dhikr before sleeping?

Before sleeping, people are often distracted by thoughts, worries, or technological devices like phones. Shaytan also whispers to them, causing them to forget to engage in dhikr before sleep.

The difference in the number of dhikr is due to the variety of hadiths available. Some hadiths mention reciting 10 times each, while others, such as those from Imam Muslim, mention 33 times each. Both practices are valid, and individuals can choose which to follow.

How does the script explain the significance of having multiple choices in the number of dhikr?

The script highlights that having multiple choices in the number of dhikr allows people the freedom to choose based on their preference, as it aligns with human nature to appreciate variety in practices.
