Zikr (Remembrance) of Allah سبحانه وتعالى

Zikr is an act that keeps human beings in contact with their creator; Allah سبحانه وتعالى. It is a common experience that we talk about material things and their benefits all the time and it results in building up of their value in our mind. When we will utter Allah’s names and praise Him for His bounties on us, we will develop the belief of His presence and His Greatness in our mind. There are different forms in which Zirk (Remembrance) of Allah سبحانه وتعالى can be carried out: 

1. Repeated utterance of Allah سبحانه وتعالى by His glorified names; in this regard best Zikr is utterance of Kalimah ”La-ilaha-illalah” (there is no one worthy of worship but Allah سبحانه وتعالى). 

2. Praising Allah سبحانه وتعالى for His blessings and favors on us. 

3. Recitation of Holy Quran. 

4. Reading of supplications (Dua) of each occasion in our daily life as advised by The Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم.

5.Talking about Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His Glories in our private and public meetings as we talk about our family members and friends. 

6. Staying conscious of the presence of Allah سبحانه وتعالى at all times by obeying His commands and avoiding His displeasure. 

7. Ponder upon this life and Allah’s creations and reflect upon His Greatness & Creativity.
