II. Mention of Zikr in the Holy Qur'an
Zikr is mentioned in many places in the Holy Qur'an, and in most verses, what was meant by
the word Zikr is tasbih, glorifying; takbir, exalting; tahmid, praising; and praising and praying
upon the Prophet (SWS).
Allah said in Surat al-Baqara, 152: "Remember Me and I will remember you." [2:152]
Zikr 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 Attributess, and bringing
them from a state of heedlessness to the state of complete wakefulness. If we keep busy
with Zikrullah, happiness and peace will be granted to us. Zikr is the key to happiness, the
key to joy, and the key to Divine Love.
- Mention of Zikr in the Sunnah
The Prophet (SWS) said, "Everything has its polish and the polish of hearts is Zikrullah."
There are many, many other hadith about the benefits and blessings of Zikr such that it is
impossible to quote all of them here.
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet said: "When a servant of Allah utters the words
la ilaha illallah (there is no god except Allah) sincerely, the doors of heaven open up for these
words until they reach the Throne of Allah, so long as its utterer keeps away from the major
sins." (Narrated by Tirmidhi, who says it is hasan gharib. al-Mundhiri included in al-Targhib
2:414)
Abu Hurayra also reported that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "Renew your faith."
"How can we renew our faith?" they asked. The Prophet replied: "Say always: la ilaha illallah."
(Narrated by Ahmad with a fair chain of authorities). Jabir reported that the Prophet, peace be
upon him, said: "The best remembrance of Allah is to repeat la ilaha illallah and the best
prayer (du'a) is al-hamdu lillah(all praise belongs to Allah)." (Narrated by Nasa'i, Ibn Majah,
and Hakim who declared its chain sound)
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet said: "There are two phrases that are light on the
tongue but heavy on the scale of rewards and are dear to the Gracious One. These are:
subhan Allah wa bi hamdihi, "Glorified is Allah with all praise to Him," and subhan Allah al-`azim,
"Glorified is Allah, the Great." (Narrated by Bukhari, Muslim, and Tirmidhi)
Abu Hurayra also reported that the Prophet said: "I love repeating: subhan Allah,
wa al-hamdu lillah, wa la ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar: "Glorified is Allah, and Praise be to Allah,
and There is no God but Allah, and Allah is most Great," more than all that the sun shines upon."
(Narrated by Muslim and Tirmidhi)
Abu Dharr reported that the Prophet said: "Shall I tell you the words that Allah loves
the most?" I said: "Yes, tell me, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "The words dearest
to Allah are: subhan Allah wa bi hamdihi "Glorified is Allah with all praise to Him."
(Narrated by Muslim and Tirmidhi)
Abd Allah ibn Mas`ud reported that the Prophet said: "During the Night Journey I
met Ibrahim who said to me: O Muhammad, convey my greetings to your Community,
and tell them that the Paradise is of pure land, its water is sweet, and its expanse is vast,
spacious and even. And its seedlings are:
subhan allah: Glory to Allah
wa al-hamdu lillah: and Praise to Allah
wa la ilaha illallah: and there is no god but Allah
wallahu akbar: and Allah is greatest.
(Narrated by Tirmidhi and Tabarani whose version adds: "There is no power nor strength
save through Allah.")
