Haqiqat-e-Zikir! ! !

(Remembrance of Allah)
The greatest thing in our life
As excellent method of purification of heart
Eradicating disease of the mind
Produces love for Him who created us
Brings divine peace and satisfaction
'O, ye who believeth remember Allah very often
And glorify Him morning and evening'
'Behold, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction'
'Then do ye remember Me, I will you'
'There is a polish for everything for the hearts
It is Zikir of Allah'
'Those who remember Allah
And those who do not, like those who are alive
And those who are dead'
Those who do not remember me
They get retrogression!
They get hard heart!
They get deprivation of divine virtues!
They get associations of the devils!
The devil becomes their intimate companion!

Abu Hurayrah (R.A.A.) narrated that
The Messenger of Allah said,
'Allâh has some angels who frequent streets and pathways
Seeking people who are engaged in the remembrance of Allah!
When they find such a group of people remembering Allah, the angels call (out) one another:
'Come to the object of our search'!
The Prophet said:
The angels flock around these people,
Enveloping them with their wings stretching to the lowest Heaven!
Then their Lord asks of the angels,
Even though He knows better than they:
What are My servants saying?
The Prophet said that the angels would say:
They glorify You, declare Your Greatness and praise and exalt You!
Allah would say: Have they seen Me?
Then the angels would say:
Truly they have not seen You!
Allah would say: What if they had seen Me?
The Prophet said that the angels would say:
Had they really seen You, they would have worshiped You more fervently, Would have
praised and exalted You intensely, and would have glorified You even more!
Allah would say: What do they want of me?
The angels would say: They desire Paradise!
Allah would say: Have they seen Paradise?
The angels would say: No, my Lord, they have never seen it!
Allah would say: What if they had seen it?
The Prophet said: The angels would exclaim, 'Had they really seen Paradise, their
desire would have been more intense and they would
have sought it more earnestly! '
Allah would say: What is it they wished to be delivered from?
The angels would say: From the Fire!
Allah would say: And have they seen it?
The angels would say: No, O my Lord, they have not seen it!
Allah would say: What if they had seen it?
The angels would say: Had they seen it, they would flee from it and fear it more!
Allah would say: Bear witness that I have forgiven them!
The Prophet said that one of the angels would say:
Among those assembled, there is one who is not one of them;
He came for some other need!
Allah would say: Even so, they are each other's companions and their companions shall not suffer!
(Bukhari; and Muslim)
Ibn Ata’Allah in his book Taj al-Arous (Crown of the bridegroom)
has said that the one who had been lagging behind in terms of worship and has
intended to rectify what has been gone before in his early life, nothing can make it for
that except the Remembrance of Allah through the al-Adhkar al-Jami’a, and such
spiritual cure is also valid
for the one who had been unable to increase the number of night prayers and fasting,
as the Prayers upon the Prophet
(peace and blessing be upon him) can outweigh the other ways of worship since one Prayer from you upon the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) equals ten from him as it is clearly stated in the
Hadith, and how beautiful are your days if you are to salute and greet the Messenger of God through this
kind of remembrance (dhikr) .
