Allah says:
"Therefore remember me, I will remember you and be grateful
to me and do not reject faith."
[Surah Al-Baqarah: 152]
Allah gives
success and reciprocates the reward
for those who engage themselves regularly
in His remembrance.
By doing the noble act of Dhikr,
one replaces engaging in talk in which there is no benefit.
Dhikr
is much greater and more rewarding in this world and the next.
Allah
says:
"O you who believe remember Allah with much
remembrance,
and glorify His praises in the morning and the afternoon."
[Surah
Al-Ahzaab: 41-42]
Allah says:
"Those
who believe and whose hearts find tranquility in the remembrance of
Allah,
verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find tranquility."
[Surah Ar-Radd:
28]
Tranquility = The quality or state of being tranquil.
Tranquil
= Free from agitated disturbance, anxiety, tension, or restlessness.
In
a Hadith,
on the authority of Abu Hurairah (rady Allaahu anhu),
the Messenger
of Allah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said that Allah said:
"Indeed
I Am as My servant presumes Me to be.
And I Am
with him when he remembers Me,
so if he remembers Me to himself
then
I remember him to Myself.
And if he remembers Me amongst a company,
I
remember him amongst a company greater than it
and if he draws close to
Me a span of a hand
I draw near to him the span of an arm.
And if
he draws near Me the span of an arm,
I draw near him the span of two outstretched
arms.
And if he takes a step towards Me,
I quickly step towards him."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
In another Hadith
on the authority
of Abu Musa al-Ash'aree (radyAllaahu 'anhu),
the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu
Alayhi Wasallam) said:
"The comparison of the one
who remembers Allah
and the one who doesn't
is like that of the living
and the dead."
[Sahih Al-Bukhari]
Allah says:
"And
remember your Lord with your tongue and within yourself,
humbly and with fear
and without loud words,
in the morning and afternoon and be not of those who
are neglectful."
[Surah Al-A'araaf: 205]
