Remembrance of Allah Most High (Dhikr) is one of the virtuous acts of worship through which we can draw closer to Him Most High. Shaykh Faraz Rabbani reminds us that reciting the blessed words of dhikr such as “Subhan Allah”, “Alhamdulilah”, “Laa ilaaha ill-Allah” and “Allahu Akbar” is a gift. However, engaging our hearts can make us feel the Love and Magnificence of Allah Most High. He reminds us that Allah Most High knows all our weaknesses, accepts our every effort, and through His Mercy, magnifies its consequences.
