The Virtue of Remembrance in the Light of the Quran and Hadith

Allah has commanded the remembrancers:

﴿أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ﴾ ‎

“Indeed, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.”

And the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
“The example of the one who remembers his Lord and the one who does not is like the living and the dead.”

Allah Almighty says:

﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ ذِكْرًا كَثِيرًا﴾

“O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance.”

And He further said:

﴿وَالذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةً وَأَجْرًا عَظِيمًا .﴾

“And the men who remember Allah often and the women who do so – for them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a great reward.”
