The virtues and excellence of zikir remembrance allah
Importance and Virtues of Zikr
Allah says in the Qur’an “Remember Allah abundantly, in order that you become successful”
Quran (Surah 8: Verse 45)
“Only in the remembrance of Allah (swt) will your heart find peace”
Quran (Surah 13: Verse 28)
“Those men and women who engage much in Allah’s praise. for them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a Great Reward”
Quran (Surah 33: Verse 35)
“When any group of men remember Allah, angels surround them and mercy covers them, tranquility descends upon them, and Allah mentions them to those who are with Him.” (Muslim)
We also know that remembering Allah is of the greatest deed:
“The rememebrence of Allah (swt) is the greatest (deed)”
Quran (Surah 29: Verse 45)
and of the the worst things we can do is not to remember Allah:
“Satan has mastered them and caused them to forget the Remembrance of Allah. Those are satan’s party; and satan’s party shall assuredly be the losers”
Quran (Surah 58: Verse 19)
“Whosoever turns away from the Remembrance of Allah, He will hurl him into a stern punishment”.
Quran (Surah 72: Verse 17)
“Whosoever turns away from My remembrance, his life will be made tight and narrow on the Day of Resurrection We shall raise him blind”
Quran (Surah 20: Verse 124)
Allah tells us to remember him no matter what we do whether that be lying or sitting down:
“They are the most wise who remember Allah, standing sitting and lying down”
Quran (Surah 4: Verse 190)
We should remember Allah no matter what we are doing and we should ALWAYS try to keep our tongues moist with his rememberance and glorification. However we cannot glorify him in the toilet.
That is why we are recommended to haste in doing whatever we have to do in the toilet so that we can continue to add to our good deed accounts.
The tongue is connected to the heart and we should try not to merely get into the habit of glorifying him with only the tongue but we should try and make connection to the heart whenever we are glorifying and praising him.
All good deeds are not rewarded the same. They are dependant upon how much sincerety and khushoo a person has whilst doing the good action as well as the intention of the good act.
So we should all endevour to try and make a connection from our tongues to our hearts especially in Salah and try not to make our minds wonder elsewhere otherwise it is said that we are robbing our Salah and therefore lessening the reward for it. Same way with zikr we should make a connection with the heart to get the full benefits from zikr aswell as more of a reward from it.
