How to remember Allah in abundance
ʿAllāmah Ibn Rajab Ḥanbali رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه has provided a beautiful method through which we can spend the majority of our day remembering Allah. Let us listen to its summary:
* There are five farḍ salah in a day, which are a form of dhikr too. Perform them along with sunnah and nafl salah. This will allow us to spend around two hours in the remembrance of Allah.
