Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

Zikrullah (Remembering of ALLAH)

Hadrat Abu Huraira (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAH’s Messenger as stating that ALLAH says, I deal with my servant according to his thoughts about me. I am present when he thinks of me and I am with him when he remembers me. If he remembers me inwardly, I shall remember him inwardly, and if he remembers me among people I shall remember him among people who are better than they” (i.e. the angels). [BukhAri - Muslim]

Hadrat Abu Sa’d al-Khudri (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH said that Hadrat Musa (SallAllahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked ALLAH, “O my Lord, teach me how I am to call upon Thee. “And ALLAH replied “O Musa, recite

                                            There is no God but ALLAH.

Then Musa said “O my Lord everyone of the people says this. And ALLAH said, ‘O Musa, if the seven heavens and their inhabitantsand the seven earths, were put in one scale and this expression,

                                       there is no God but ALLAH

into another, these words would exceed in weight. [Ma’rif -ul- Hadis]

Hadrat Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that ALLAH’s Messenger was asked who would be most exalted in degree in ALLAH’s estimation on the day of resurrection. He replied, “The men and women who make frequent mention of ALLAH.” [Tirmizi, lbn Majah]

Hadrat Abdullah bin Busr (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) told of a man saying “O Messenger of ALLAH, the ordinance of Islam are too many for me, so tell me some thing to which I may cling,. “He replied, “Your tongue will continue to be supple by making mention of ALLAH. [Tirmizi, lbn Majah]

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAH’s Messenger as saying, if anyone sits in a place where he does not remember ALLAH, depravation will descend on him from ALLAH, and if any one lies down in a place where he does not remember ALLAH, vengeance, will descend on him from ALLAH. [Abu Dawud, Ma’rif-ul- Hadis]

Hadrat Muaz bin Jabal (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated, “A man does nothing more calculated to rescue him from ALLAH’s punishment than making mention of ALLAH.” [Mishkat]

It occurs in a tradition that the Messenger of ALLAH said, “I swear by ALLAH that there are such men in the world who remember ALLAH (instead of sleeping) even when they are in soft and comfortable beds: ALLAH will admit them in the highest measure of Paradise (in other words, one should not take it that unless one quits all comforts; the remembrance of ALLAH will not be of any avail).
