Dhikr: Remember Allah
Dhikr means remembering Allah with your tongue and your heart. Little words like SubhanAllah and Alhamdulillah are easy to say, and Allah loves them. Learn them here, then count them on the tasbih.
βThose who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured.β
Qur'an 13:28Start a routine
Tap one and the tasbih will guide you, step by step.
Learn the dhikrs
Tap Count it to say one on the tasbih, and I know it when you've learned it.
How to do dhikr
β€οΈ With your heart
Think about what the words mean while you say them. Dhikr from the heart brings peace and happiness, just like the verse says.
β Count on your fingers
The Prophet ο·Ί counted his tasbih on his right hand, and said our fingertips will speak for us on the Day of Judgement.
Sunan Abi Dawud 1501 and 1502ποΈ Any time, any place
Standing, sitting or lying down, walking to school or waiting in the car. You don't need wudu for dhikr, though it is lovely to have it.
Qur'an 3:191β Did you know?
Allah says: βSo remember Me; I will remember you.β When you remember Allah, the King of everything remembers you!
Qur'an 2:152π A daily wird
Great scholars like Imam 'Abdullah al-Haddad put favourite dhikrs together into a daily wird, so people would never forget them. His Ratib al-Haddad is read every evening by Muslims all over the world, and it is made of dhikrs like the ones on this page.
