THE WEIGHT OF MAKING ZIKR (THE REMBRANCE OF ALLAH)

1472

“Shall I tell you what your best deed is and the purest with your King, which raises your rank to the highest, and is better for you than spending gold and silver, and is even better for you than if you should engaged with the enemy and cut off their necks, and they cut off yours?" The Companions replied, ‘Indeed, tell us!’ He told them: ‘It is the remembrance of Allah, the Exalted.’"

Tirmidhi with a chain up to Abu Darda' who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.

THE REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH IN EVERY TIME AND SITUATION

Allah, the Exalted says:

“Surely, in the creation of the heavens and the earth,

and in the alternation of night and day,

there are signs for those with minds.

Those who remember Allah when standing,

sitting, and on their sides,

and contemplate upon the creation of the heavens

and the earth (saying:)

'Lord, You have not created these in falsehood.

Exaltations to You!

Guard us against the punishment of the Fire.'” 3:190-191 Koran
