Why dhikr matters

The Qur’an says that hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah. Many people look for peace in entertainment or achievements and still feel restless. Dhikr is a simple, accessible way to bring the heart back to calm, and it can be done while walking, travelling or waiting. The book helps readers understand its virtues and practise it with knowledge.

Who should read it

The book suits every Muslim who wants to make dhikr part of daily life, from students to busy professionals, and it is also useful for teachers preparing a talk on the subject.

How to benefit

Choose a few legislated remembrances that you can keep up every day, such as the morning and evening adhkar and the words after prayer. Stay consistent, even if the number is small. Read a portion of the book each week to renew your motivation. Remember that the Prophet ﷺ said the most beloved deeds to Allah are those done regularly, even if they are small.

Shaykh Abdur-Razzaq ibn Abdul-Muhsin al-Abbad al-Badr is a scholar from Madinah and the author of many books and treatises in English translation. We do not list further biographical details here.

Dhikr with presence of heart

Dhikr is most beneficial when the heart is present, and not only the tongue. Try to understand the meaning of what you say, pause between phrases and say it with humility. Over time, the words become part of daily habit and bring calm in times of worry.

A book for families

Parents may read a short section aloud after Fajr or Maghrib and encourage children to learn one dhikr each week. A shared habit of remembrance brings blessing to the home and teaches young people to turn to Allah in every state.

Making dhikr easy

Many people think dhikr needs a long time, but it can be woven into the day. Say the morning and evening remembrances, glorify Allah on the way to work, and seek forgiveness before sleep. A small daily practice is better than a large one that is soon dropped. This book encourages readers to begin where they are and to build slowly, trusting in Allah’s help and reward.

Dhikr and the heart

Scholars compared the heart to a vessel that must be kept clean, and dhikr is among the best ways to polish it. A heart used to remembrance finds it easier to be patient in hardship, grateful in ease and careful in action. Revisit the book whenever your routine of remembrance weakens, to find motivation again.
