قَالَ الله تعالىٰ: {إِنَّ فِي خَلقِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلأَرضِ وَٱختِلَٰفِ ٱلَّيلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ لَأٓيَٰت لِّأُوْلِي ٱلأَلبَٰبِ * ٱلَّذِينَ يَذكُرُونَ ٱللَّهَ قِيَٰما وَقُعُودا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِهِم} [آل عمران: 190 ــ 191].

1) الآيات الكونية والآيات الأفقية التي جعلها الله في خلقه تدعو العاقل إلىٰ التفكّر والتدبّر، وأن يستدل بها عَلَىٰ عظمة الخالق جل وعلا، فهو المستحق وحده لأن يُوحّد ويُعبد، ويُذكر ويشكر.
1) The universal signs that Allah Almighty has made manifest in His creation call the wise to reflection and contemplation, and to use them as proof of the greatness of the Creator, for He alone is worthy of being worshiped, remembered, and thanked.
2) الذاكرون الله تعالىٰ هم أولو العقول الصحيحة، لأنهم عرفوا الغاية من الخلق {وَمَا خَلَقتُ ٱلجِنَّ وَٱلإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعبُدُونِ}.
2) Those who remember Allah Almighty are the ones who have sound minds because they have understood the purpose behind the creation: {I have not created the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.}
1/1444ــ وعن عائشةَ رضي الله عنها قَالَت: كَانَ رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يذكُرُ اللهَ تعالىٰ عَلَىٰ كلِّ أحيَانِهِ. رواه مسلم.
