A reminder for all muslim members during this holy month. :)

'Zikr' means 'remembrance'. 'Zikrullah' is 'remembrance of Allah'. It is a great spiritual virtue and has special importance, significance and merit in the month of Ramzan. Fasting opens the door of continuous remembrance of Allah, Who ordained fasting for our spiritual attainment, physical improvement, worldly emancipation and salvation in the hereafter. Regular 'Zikr-e-llahi' can enable one to attain spiritual heights, on which the Sufis stress. Zikrullah in words is 'Allahu' 'Allahu' and other Names and Attributes of Allah, while Zikrullah in thinking and activities is meditation on Allah and realisation of Allah's Will.

Zikr (remembrance) of Allah is part of Ibadat. Zikr has been ordained in different verses in the holy Quran. In Ramzan, specially in the ending days, it is of best importance.

The Holy Quran reveals: " Then do ye remember Me; I will remember you. Be grateful to Me, and reject not Faith."

"Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah; for without doubt, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction." " t And remembrance of Allah is the greatest (thing in life) without doubt. And Allah knows (the deeds) that ye do".

There are other verses on remembrance of Allah and His praises.

Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA) narrated: Rasulullah (SM) said, "There is a group of the angels of Allah, who go on searching the people in the streets who remember Allah t"

This is a detailed Hadith, which concludes that those who are related with the remembrance of Allah, are not deprived of the Blessings, Mercy and Salvation from Allah.

Zabir (RA) narrated: He says, "I have heard the Prophet (SM) saying: "The greatest Zikr is La Ilaha Illallah-there is none worthy of Ibadat except Allah."

Hazrat Abu Musa (RA) quoted Hazrat Muhammad (SM) to have said, "The person who remembers his Lord and the person who does not remember, their example is like the living and the dead."
