Dhikr is a way of remembering Allah in your heart. This remembrance pays you back in one way or another. It might be in the form of mental satisfaction, a strong connection with Allah, or in the form of reward for every good deed. I discussed “What is Zikr and its importance in the life of Muslims” in this blog.
After reading this blog, you are aware of the importance of Dhikr and why you should do it. There are some Zikrs that is easily memoizable and their reward is greater in the court of Allah. All the Dhikrs are verses of the Quran, Hadith, Sunnah, or guidance by the Holy Prophet. There are various Hadiths about which Holy Prophet (PBUH) said that you should recite it in the morning or evening and these Zikrs carry more weightage concerning rewards. Being a Muslim, any Zikr is a way to connect with Allah and remember him in our hearts.
Here are some easy Dhikrs that you can do every evening, morning, or whenever you are in the state of Wudu and purification. I compiled this collection in a way that is easy to read and memorize. English paraphrasing and translation are available which help you to easily read even if you are not adept at reading Arabic. Translations help you to understand what are you are saying and how are you remembering Allah?
