Incorporating dhikr into your daily life can profoundly enrich your spiritual experience and bring you closer to Allah.
Dhikr is one of the most important acts of worship that brings a servant closer to Allah Almighty. It enhances faith and helps in achieving relaxation and tranquility within the soul. The remembrance of Allah is a source of blessings and success in life. The morning and evening dhikrs serve as a fortress for the believer, protecting them from evils and opening the doors of mercy and forgiveness. Therefore, adhering to these dhikrs at the beginning and end of the day is a commendable practice that draws one nearer to their Lord and increases their good deeds.
