Dhikr means Remembrance. In Islam Dhikr means remembering Allah in heart and mentioning Him by the tongue. Dhikr is a very powerful and simple way to worship Allah (SWT) when we have a lack of time, which carries many benefits and virtues.
Allah (SWT) wants us to remember Him in every situation no matter whether its happy or sad situation as much we possibly can. By praising and glorifying Allah (SWT) we are showing our gratitude to Him and recognizing His nobility. We are accepting that we have no power without Him, as He has power over all things.
Once we have truly understood this, we can understand that we are not actually in control of our lives, and it is only with the help and will of Allah (SWT) that we can achieve things in our lives. Prophet Muhammad(saw) also suggested the importance of Dhikr:
“If your hearts were always in the state that they are in during dhikr, the angel would come to see you to the point that they would greet you in the middle of the road” (Sahih Muslim).
In short, remembering Allah (SWT) is one of the virtuous acts of worship through which one can achieve tranquility, rest and peace of mind and heart. May Allah gives us the strength to do Dhikr regularly and can get Allah Almighty blessings. Ameen!
