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)
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 dependent upon how much sincerity 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.

Here are some very beneficial Zikr’s that we can all do especially in the remaining days of this Ramadan and throughout the year everyday and we should try to every minute and second.
Some beneficial dhikr include:
- Subhan’Allah- ‘Praise be to Allah’
- Al-Hamdullilah- ‘Thanks be to Allah’
- Allahu Akbar – ‘Allah is the Greatest.’
- La ila ha illallah- There is no worthy of worship except Allah
Abu haraira(ra) Narrates: Prophet(saw) said: whoever says: Subhanallahi Wa Bihamdihi – (I deem Allah free of any resemblances to anything whatever in any repeat, and I glorify his praises) one hundred times a day will have his sins forgiven even though they may be as much as the foam of the sea – (Bukhari,b73:c19)
A PHRASE THAT COMES WITH REWARDS IN THE MILLIONS
On the authority of Abdullah ibn ‘Umar that the Prophet said,”Whoever enters a market and says:
‘Laa ilaaha ill Allah waHdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul mulku wa lahul Hamdu yuHyi wa yumeetu wa huwa Hayyun laa yamoot, bi yadihil khayr, wahuwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in qadeer’
‘Laa ilaaha ill Allah waHdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul mulku wa lahul Hamdu yuHyi wa yumeetu wa huwa Hayyun laa yamoot, bi yadihil khayr, wahuwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in qadeer’
{There is nothing worthy of worship but Allah, He is alone without partner, to Him belongs the dominion and the praise, he causes life and death and He is the Living One and will never die. In His Hand is all good, and He is over all things capable.}
Allah will write for him a million good deeds, erase a million of his bad deeds and build for him a house in Jannah .”And in another narration, which is also classed as hasan, instead of mentioning that Allah will build a house in Jannah, it states,”and he will be raised one million levels.” {Tirmidhi}.
Also:
Earn OVER One Million good deeds in just 5 minutes this Ramdhan. Its VERY easy to Earn 500 good deeds a day in Ramadhan. If you were to manage 500 good deeds every day of Ramadan, you would receive (70 times 500 = 35000) multiplied by 30 days……….1,050,000 deeds! One million fifty thousand deeds!
Just say Subhanallah 100 times, Alhamdullilah 100 times, Allahu Akbar 100 times, La ilaha il Allah 100 times and Astaghfar allah 100 times.
Imagine how much we can earn by doing MUCH more than this!
