Understanding Hadith Qudsi on Obedience to Allah: Key Insights and Teachings
Hadith Qudsi About Obedience to Allah ~ Hi, all readers! You should know that one of the important references for Muslims is the hadith Qudsi. Why is that? Because the hadith Qudsi is one type of Allah's sayings to the Prophet Muhammad. The hadith Qudsi contains valuable advice and includes many restrictions, recommendations, and obligations that we must understand. That's why I wrote this article. If you want to learn about it, please read this article to the end.
I must mention that there is a very large number of hadith Qudsi. Of course, I will not explain them all now. In this article, I will only discuss two hadith Qudsi about obedience to Allah. Some of the other hadith Qudsi will be explained in the next few articles, so stay tuned for more explanations in the coming weeks, Insha Allah.
Hadith Qudsi About Obedience to Allah
The First Hadith Qudsi About Obedience to Allah
قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : اُذْكُرُوْنِيْ بِطَاعَتِيْ أَذْكُرُكُمْ بِمَغْفِرَتِيْ . فَمَنْ ذَكَرَنِيْ وَهُوَ مُطِيْعٌ لِيْ فَحَقٌّ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَذْكُرَهُ مِنِّي بِمَغْفِرَتِيْ . وَمَنْ ذَكَرَنِيْ وَهُوَ لِيْ عَاصٍ فَحَقٌّ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَذْكُرَهُ بِمَقْتٍ
Allah Azza wa Jalla said, "All of you must remember Me by obeying Me; then I will remember you with My forgiveness. Whoever remembers Me while obeying Me, I will surely remember him with My forgiveness. Whoever remembers Me while acting against Me, I will certainly remember him with My anger."
Dear readers! The first hadith Qudsi above explains that we must remember Allah. This is the general meaning. However, it is important to understand that remembering Allah must be done in a good way, such as through dhikr, prayer, fasting, giving alms, reading books, and so forth. If we do this, then Allah will remember us with His forgiveness. The point is, if we remember Allah in a good way, then Allah will forgive us.

Additionally, we must understand that remembering Allah must not be done in the wrong way, such as through stealing, lying, slandering, and so forth. Why is that? Because if we engage in such actions, Allah will remember us with His anger. The takeaway is, if we remember Allah incorrectly, Allah will be displeased with us.
The Second Hadith Qudsi About Obedience to Allah
قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى : يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَا ذَكَرْتَنِيْ شَكَرْتَنِيْ , وَمَا نَسِيْتَنِيْ كَفَرْتَنِي
Allah Taala said, "O son of Adam! If you remember Me, you will thank Me. If you forget Me, you will betray Me."
The general meaning of the second hadith Qudsi above is that if we remember Allah, it signifies our gratitude towards Him. Conversely, if we forget Allah, it indicates our betrayal of Him. This is a very clear command: we must remember Allah.
Dear readers! That is a brief explanation of the hadith Qudsi about obedience to Allah. Do you understand? If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
