The power of dhikr is our light in a world full of distractions — the calm that soothes the heart, the connection that revives the soul, and the key that brings us closer to our Creator.
Every week, we’ll share short reflections, authentic duas, and practical ways to make remembrance a daily habit — so your days begin and end with tranquility and faith.

1. 📖 Qur’anic Verse & Tafsir

Verse:
“Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts find rest.” (Surah Ar-Ra‘d, 13:28)

Selected Tafsir:
Ibn Kathir explains that nothing brings tranquility to the heart like the remembrance of Allah.
When a believer frequently engages in dhikr, he draws closer to his Lord and finds peace and comfort within.
Dhikr includes glorifying Allah (tasbeeh), praising Him (tahmeed), declaring His Oneness (tahleel), seeking forgiveness (istighfaar), and reciting the Qur’an.

This verse reminds us of the power of dhikr — the remembrance that fills hearts with peace and draws believers near to their Lord.

3. ⚖️ Islamic Ruling (Fatwa)

Question: Is it better to make dhikr silently or aloud?

Answer: Both are permissible. Dhikr done silently is often better for sincerity and humility, but raising the voice moderately at times is also Sunnah, especially after obligatory prayers, as reported in Sahih Muslim.

Both silent and audible remembrance manifest the power of dhikr in a believer’s life.

4. 💡 Practical Advice

Commit to a daily dhikr routine:

• Say SubhanAllah 33 times, Alhamdulillah 33 times, Allahu Akbar 34 times before sleeping.
• After every prayer, recite Ayat al-Kursi (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:255).

These adhkar bring protection, forgiveness, and peace to the heart.

Make this simple routine your daily path to experience the power of dhikr every morning and night.
