What is Dhikr?
Dhikr (ذكر) literally means “remembrance.” In Islam, it refers to the remembrance of Allah through His names, attributes, and words of praise. It is one of the easiest yet most rewarding acts of worship. Allah commands us in the Quran: "O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance." (Quran 33:41) and "Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest." (Quran 13:28).
The Prophet ﷺ said: "The example of the one who remembers his Lord and the one who does not is like the living and the dead." (Bukhari). Dhikr is not limited to tasbih beads or specific times — you can remember Allah while walking, driving, cooking, working, or lying down. It is the constant companion of the believer.
The Immense Virtues of Dhikr
- It is the best and purest deed in the sight of Allah.
- Allah remembers the one who remembers Him — the greatest honor.
- It brings down tranquility (sakinah) and mercy from the heavens.
- It polishes the heart and removes its rust.
- It plants trees in Paradise and erases sins.
- It protects from anxiety, depression, and the whispers of Shaytan.
The Most Powerful Adhkar
SubhanAllah (سبحان الله)
Glory be to Allah. Declares His perfection.
Alhamdulillah (الحمد لله)
All praise is due to Allah. Expresses gratitude.
Allahu Akbar (الله أكبر)
Allah is the Greatest.
La ilaha illallah (لا إله إلا الله)
There is no god but Allah — the key to Paradise.
Daily Dhikr Routine (Highly Recommended)
After every obligatory prayer, recite:
- SubhanAllah — 33 times
- Alhamdulillah — 33 times
- Allahu Akbar — 33 times
- Then: La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah... (100th completion)
Also establish morning and evening adhkar (after Fajr and Asr) — these act as a powerful shield for the entire day and night.
