“Indeed I am Allah
–there is no god except Me. So worship Me, and maintain the prayer for
My remembrance”.
(20:14)
“Recite what has been
revealed to you of the book and maintain the prayer. Indeed the prayer
prevents indecencies and wrongs, and the remembrance of Allah is surely
greater. And Allah knows whatever (deeds) you do”.
(29:45)
To
Reflect, Glorify and Supplicate to Allah (SWT) – Dua’ and Tasbeeh.
“…And remember your
Lord greatly, and glorify Him morning and evening”.
(3:41)
“Those who remember
Allah standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and reflect on the
creation of the heavens and the earth (and say) ‘Our Lord, You have not
created this in vain! Immaculate are You! Save us from the punishment of
the Fire”.
(3:191)
QURAN IS ALSO
THE ‘DHIKR’:
The
Holy Quran is a kind of
Dhikr
itself. Infact, one of its names is
Al-Dhikr
and
Allah (SWT) has used this name for the Holy Quran in numerous verses.
“Indeed We have sent
down the DHIKR (Reminder), and indeed We will preserve it”.
(15:9)
“…We have sent down the
DHIKR (Reminder) to you so that you may clarify for the people that
which has been sent down to them, so that they may reflect”.
(16:44)
“Indeed those who defy
the DHIKR (Reminder) when it comes to them (should know that) indeed it
is an august book: falsehood cannot approach it, from before it nor from
behind it, (gradually) sent down (revelation) from One all-wise,
all-laudable”.
(41:41-42)
In
all the above verses
Dhikr
is
in reference to the Holy Quran. Therefore, Quran is
Dhikr
in
itself hence it shares every benefit which other modes of
Dhikr
have.
