30 Benefits of Zikr according to Imam Ibn al-Qayyim al- Jawziyyah (Rahimahullah)
Imam Murtada Gusau Sunday, September 25, 2016
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
These are some of the virtues and benefits of Remembering Allah - [Zikr of Allah Almighty]. It has been summarised from the book Wabil as- Sayyib of Imam Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah.
1. Remembrance of Allah [Zikr] drives away and breaks the devil [shaytan]. 2. It pleases Allah, ar-Rahman [the Most-Merciful].
3. It removes the cares and worries of the Heart. 4. It brings joy and happiness to the Heart. 2
5. It strengthens both body and Heart.
6. It endows the person with Love of Allah which is the very spirit of Islam - for Allah has opened a way of access to everything, and the way to Love is constancy in Remembrance [Zikr].
7. It endows one with Muraqabah [vigilance] which opens to the door to Ihsan - entering therein, the servant worships Allah as if he were seeing Him.
8. It predisposes the servant to turn back to Allah in every state.
9. It endows him with proximity to Allah. His proximity to Allah is in proportion to his remembrance; his distance in proportion to his heedlessness.
10. It endows him with Allah's own remembrance of him, Allah says, "Remember Me, I shall remember you."
11. It endows the heart with life. Imam Ibn Taymiyah said, "Remembrance is to the heart what water is to fish. What happens to the fish that leaves the 3
water?'
12. It polishes away the Heart's tarnish. 13. It erases sins and repels them.
14. It removes estrangement between the servant and his Lord. 15. Words of Remembrance become like the buzzing of bees around the Throne of Allah.
16. When he knows his Lord through Remembrance [Zikr] in times of ease his Lord will know him in times of adversity.
17. Remembrance of Allah [Zikr] is most effective thing to repel the punishment of Allah.
18. Tranquillity descends upon the Heart. 19. The Remembrance of Allah [Zikr] and tears that are shed for Allah's sake - give a person shade on the Day of Judgement.

20. It is the easiest form of worship - using the tongue is easier compared to actions of hands and feet.
21. Plants trees in Paradise. 22. Constancy in Remembrance of Allah [Zikr] brings about security from forgetfulness of Him. This forgetfulness is the cause of the servant's misery both in this worldly life and the Day of Judgement.
23. Imam Ibn Taymiyah said, "Truly there is a Heaven in this world [and] whoever does not enter it, will not enter the Heaven of the next world."
24. It enters Light [Nur] in to the Heart - more Remembrance of Allah [Zikr] = more light.
25. Allah is with the one when he remembers Him. "I am with My slave when he remembers Me and when his lips move to mention Me."
26. Remembrance of Allah [Zikr] is basis of Gratitude and thanks [Shukr] - when you remember Him abundantly you thank Him abundantly.
27. Remembrance of Allah [Zikr] is both the source and the basis of 5
intimate friendship with Allah - A servant continues to remember his Lord until He loves him.
28. Nothing attracts Allah's blessings and repels His wrath as does His remembrance. He repels harm from them and defends them in proportion to the strength and the completeness of their faith in Him. The very substance and power of this faith comes through [His] remembrance. The stronger one's faith and more abundant the remembrance, the greater Allah's defence of him. For the one who falls short, it falls short. i.e. STRONGER ZIKR = STRONGER IMAN = STRONGER DEFENCE.
29. Allah's remembrance of him precedes his remembrance of Him, for when Allah remembers His servant, it inspires the servant to remember Him. In prayer, you remember Allah and He remembers you, and His remembrance of you is greater than your remembrance of Him.
30. The most excellent of those who perform any practice are people who do it with the greatest remembrance of Allah. The most excellent of those who fast, are those who remember Allah the most in their fasting - the most excellent of those who do Hajj, are those who remember Allah the most in [their Hajj] etc.
