Virtues of Thikr
Remembering Allah (dhikr) brings great benefits, such as spiritual well-being, tranquility and softening of the heart. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism), and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah, Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest”
[ar-Ra‘d 13:28]
“Is he whose heart Allah has opened to Islam, so that he is in light from His Lord (as he who is non-Muslim)? So, woe to those whose hearts are hardened against remembrance of Allah! They are in plain error!”
[az-Zumar 39:22].
Another of these benefits is attaining great reward by doing a small deed, which is simply moving one’s lips and reciting a few words.
Imam an-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his great book, Riyadh as-Saaliheen:
Chapter on the virtue of dhikr and encouragement to remember Allah:
Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“and the remembrance of Allah is greater”
[al-‘Ankaboot 29:45]
“Therefore remember Me (by praying, glorifying, etc.). I will remember you”
[al-Baqarah 2:152]
“And remember your Lord by your tongue and within yourself, humbly and with fear without loudness in words in the mornings, and in the afternoons and be not of those who are neglectful”
[al-A‘raaf 7:205]
“and remember Allah much, that you may be successful”
[al-Jumu‘ah 62:10]
“and the men and the women who remember Allah much with their hearts and tongues Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward (i.e. Paradise)”
[al-Ahzaab 33:35]
“O you who believe! Remember Allah with much remembrance.
And glorify His Praises morning and afternoon (the early morning (Fajr) and Asr prayers)”
[al-Ahzaab 33:41-42].
And there are many similar, well-known verses.
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Two words that are light on the tongue and heavy in the balance and beloved to the Most Merciful: Subhaan Allaahi wa bi hamdihi Subhaan Allaah il-‘Azeem (Glory and praise be to Allah, glory be to Allah the Almighty).”
And it was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “When I say ‘Subhaan Allah, wa’l-hamdu Lillah, wa laa ilaah ill-Allah, wa Allahu akbar (Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no god except Allah, and Allah is Most Great)’, this is more beloved to me than all that the sun rises upon.” Narrated by Muslim.
And it was narrated from him that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever says ‘Laa ilaaha ill-Allah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer (There is no god except Allah alone with no partner; to Him be dominion and praise, and He is Able to do all things)’ one hundred times in a day, will have reward equivalent to that of manumitting ten slaves, one hundred good deeds will be written for him, one hundred bad deeds will be erased from his record, and he will have protection from the Shaytaan all that day until evening comes; no one will do anything better than what he has done, except a man who does more than that.”
And he said: “Whoever says ‘Subhaan Allaahi wa bi hamdihi (Glory and praise be to Allaah)’ one hundred times in a day, his sins will be erased, even if they are like the foam of the sea.” Agreed upon.
It was narrated from Abu Ayyoob al-Ansaari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever says ‘Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer (There is no god except Allah alone with no partner; to Him be dominion and praise, and He is Able to do all things)’ ten times will be like one who manumitted four of the children of Ismaa‘eel.” Agreed upon.
It was narrated that Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Shall I not tell you of the dearest of words to Allah? The dearest of words to Allah are: Subhaan Allah wa bi hamdihi (Glory and praise be to Allah).” Narrated by Muslim.
It was narrated that Abu Maalik al-Ash‘ari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Purification is half of faith, ‘al-hamdu Lillaah’ fills the Balance and ‘Subhaan-Allah’ and ‘al-hamdu Lillaah’ fill the space between heaven and earth.” Narrated by Muslim.
It was narrated that Sa‘d ibn Abi Waqqaas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and said: Teach me some words that I may say: He said: “Say: ‘Laa ilaaha ill-Allah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, Allahu akbaru kabeeran, wal hamdu Lillahi katheeran, wa subhaan Allahi Rabb il-‘Aalameen, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa Billah il-‘Azeez il-Hakeem ( There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner or associate, Allah is most great, much praise be to Allah, glory be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah, the Almighty, the Most Wise).” He said: These are for my Lord; what is there for me? He said: “Say: ‘Allahumm aghfir li wa’rhamni wa’hdini wa’rzuqni (O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me and grant me provision).” Narrated by Muslim.
…
Then he narrated many other hadiths. This is a big topic.
For more information, please see the book al-Wabil as-Sayyib min al-Kalim at-Tayyib by Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him).
Whoever reflects upon the immense reward for these few words will understand the virtue of dhikr (remembrance of Allah). It is appropriate for every Muslim, man or woman, to be keen to remember Allah and to keep his tongue moist with dhikr and fill the record of his deeds therewith.
We ask Allah to enable us and you to do that.
