رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ once said, “When Companions عَلَیْہِمُ الرِّضْوَان heard the dhikr of Allah, they would sway like a tree in strong winds and shed tears.”^[1]

Sayyidunā Abū Hurayrah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ had a piece of thread on which he tied 1,000 knots. He would not sleep until he used it to perform the dhikr of Allah. Sayyidunā Khālid bin Maʿdān رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه would praise Allah 40,000 times a day alongside his routine of reciting the Quran. After he passed away, his fingers were moving (as if he was using them to perform dhikr). Sayyidunā ʿUmayr bin Hāni رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه was asked, “The dhikr of Allah never comes to a stop upon your tongue. How many times do you praise Allah in a day?” He replied, “100,000 times.”^[2]

The hadith narrator Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Sulami رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه said, “A saint would recite the name of Allah over and over. One day an object struck his head and caused him to bleed. When his blood began to flow, it came upon the floor and formed the name of Allah.”^[3] سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه

May Allah grant us the ability to remember Him abundantly.

Dar al-Sunnah Department

Dear Islamic brothers, Dawat-e-Islami teaches Muslims the importance of remembering Allah and loving His Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. You should affiliate yourself with this religious environment. As of now, Dawat-e-Islami works across over 80 departmental sectors to achieve this goal. One of these is the Dar al-Sunnah Department. This was established in many Madani centres to provide organisational and character development training.
