ZIKR

1) Zikr keeps away the Satan and weakens his strength.

 

2) It is the cause of Almighty Allah’s pleasure.

 

3) It relieves the mind of anxieties and worries.

 

4) It produces joy and happiness in the heart.

 

5) it strengthens the body and mind.

 

6) It brightens the face and heart.

 

7) It attracts one’s subsistence.

 

8 ) It induces love for Allah, which in fact is the spirit of Islam and the pivot of “Deen”, and the source of success and salvation in the Hereafter. He who seeks access to the love of Almighty Allah should do Zikr profusely. Just as reading and repetition is the door of knowledge, so Zikr of Allah is the gateway to His love.

 

9) Zikr of Allah causes one’s mention in the Court of Allah, as said in the Holy Book.

 (Remember Me, and I will remember you), and as stated in the Hadith (whosoever remembers Me in his heart, I remember him in My heart). 

 

10) It is the key to nearness to Almighty Allah; the greater the Zikr, the greater the nearness to Allah, and greater the indifference to Zikr, the greater the distance from him.

 

11) It gives life to the heart. Hafiz Ibn Tamimia says that Zikr is as necessary for the heart as water for the fish. Imagine the condition of a fish out of water. As Allah Said:  (Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest! )(13:28)

"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)

 

Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: "Is anyone of you incapable of earning one thousand Hasanah (rewards) a day?" Someone from the gathering asked, "How can anyone of us earn a thousand Hasanah?" Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: "Glorify Allah a hundred times by just saying “Subhanallah” and a Good deeds will be written for you, or a thousand sins will be wiped away.” 

[Muslim 4:2073]
