What is Dhikr?
Dhikr is mentioned in many places in the Holy Qur’an, and in most verses, what was meant by the word dhikr is tasbih, glorifying; takbir, exalting; tahmid, praising; and praising and praying upon the Prophet ﷺ.
Allah said in Surat al-Baqara, 152: “Remember Me and I will remember you.” [2:152]
There are many, many verses of Qur’an mentioning dhikr.
There are many ahadith in relation to the merits of reciting dhikr. According to Bukhari, Abu Musa al-Ash`ari related that the Prophet ﷺ said, “The difference between the one who makes dhikr and the one who doesn’t make dhikr is like the difference between the living and the dead.”
Dhikr polishes the heart and is the source of the Divine breath that revives the dead spirits by filling them with the Blessings of Allah, decorating them with His Attributes, and bringing them from a state of heedlessness to the state of complete wakefulness. If we keep busy with Dhikrullah, happiness and peace will be granted to us. Dhikr is the key to happiness, the key to joy, and the key to Divine Love.
