So I read that reciting the Quran is the best dhikr and there is reward with reciting every letter of the Quran. If that's the case, can I take any random ayah and recite it again and again as a form of dhikr (the way people recite Subhanallah repeatedly)? I understand that certain ayahs are okay to repeat like dhikr because those are mentioned in the hadith (like Ayat Al-Kursi, last 2 ayahs of Baqarah, etc) and every surah can be repeated like a dhikr as well. But I've never seen any Muslim pick a random ayah that they like and recite it repeatedly like a dhikr, so I'm worried it would be an innovation and count as makruh. Especially if the ayah isn't mentioning Allah in any way. For example, let's take Surah Yusuf, Ayah 74: Qaaluu famaa jazaa 'uhuu in kuntum kaadhibeen (Joseph’s men asked, “What should be the price for theft, if you are lying?”) This is a completely random ayah. Now let's say I really love this ayah for some reason and I recite it again and again like dhikr, since everyone says Quran is the best dhikr. This ayah does not mention Allah anywhere. Rather it's just a small portion of Yusuf (A.S)'s story. Would it be makruh for me to do this? Or would Allah reward me for it, since it's a verse of the Quran? Is it necessary for an ayah to mention Allah or glorify Him in order to be used as a form of dhikr?

Which Ahadith and references from the scholars could be provided to answer this question? - I will post an answer to this question - Square brackets [ ] are additions or/and individual changes (for clarity) of the author's thread ----------- Continuation of "the authentic, standard supplications (A'dyiah) and rememberances (Adhkar) after the Prayer ." ----------- >The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "[...] *And He commands you to remember Allah. For indeed, the parable of that is a man whose enemy quickly tracks him until he reaches an impermeable fortress in which he protects himself from them. This is how the worshiper is; he does not protect himself from Ash-Shaytan except by the remembrance of Allah.*" > >At-Tirmidhi (2863 ) Abu I'sa graded Hasan Sahih Gharib >Allah says in Surah Ar-Ra'd, Ayah 28 : "***Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured***" ---- Every Dhikr or Du'a should be uttered with the full Yaqin (certainty) and with full understanding of what is said (translation) so that you make use of them.

I have committed major sins in the past but now want to achive forgiveness please tell me is there any zikr that can help me from erasing major sins? I will also do tauba

Which authentic Ahadith exist to act upon if somebody faces trouble, tough times, grief, et cetera, in his or her life? (I will post a comprehensive answer to this question) --- [...] "***whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah, hearts are assured.***" Surah ***Ar-R'ad [28 ***] --- >Mus'ab bin S'ad narrated from his father that a man said: 'O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), which of the people is tried most severely? He said: "*The Prophets, then those nearest to them, then those nearest to them. A man is tried according to his religion; if he is firm in his religion, then his trials are more severe, and if he is frail in his religion, then he is tried according to the strength of his religion. The servant shall continue to be tried until he is left walking upon the earth without any sins.*" > >At-Tirmidhi (2398 ) and Abu I'sa classed it Hasan Sahih >The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "*Indeed, a man will have a status with Allah, the Exalted, so if he does not achieve it with his deeds, He continues to plague him with what he hates until he reaches it.*" > >Al-Mustadrak (1/495 ) Shaykh Albani classed it Hasan in As-Sahihah (4/130 - #1599 ) >The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "*Know that victory comes with patience, and that ease comes with difficulties, and that with hardship there is relief!*" > >Musnad Ahmad (2803 ) classed Sahih in As-Sahihah (5/496-7 - #2382 ) --- Important: Utter these A'diyah/Adhkar with full Yaqin (certainty) to make it more convenient so that Allah answers it; so that you know exactly the words which you speak. Memorise the translation, and think about it (while saying them) as well.

Reported by muslim, 939 (source ): “Whoever glorifies Allah (says Subhan Allah ) thirty-three times immediately after each prayer, and praises Allah (says Al-hamdu Lillah) thirty-three times, and magnifies Allah (says Allahu akbar) thirty-three times, this makes ninety-nine, then to complete one hundred says La ilaha ill-Allah wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulk wa lahul-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shayin qadir (There is no god except Allah Alone, with no partner, His is the power and His is the praise, and He is Able to do all things) his sins will be forgiven even if they are like the foam of the sea.” My question is that after every fard salah, instead of saying those phrases separately (i.e. SubhanAllah 33 times, then AlhamdoliAllah 33 times, then AllahuAkbar 33 times, and then La ilaha illaAllahu wahdahulashareekalahu wahua ala qulle shayin qadeer one time), can I say **SubhanAllahi walhamdoliAllahi walailaha illaAllahu wAllahuakbar** 33 times followed by **La ilaha illaAllahu wahdahulashareekalahu wahua ala qulle shayin qadeer** once, because my tongue is used to it and I somehow find it easier?

Asalamualaikum, would lowering your voice because of shyness when someone walks into the room when you are praying or doing athkar be riya? Because I'm a very shy person and like to keep whatever I do private and close to me.

Asalamalaikum. People invent endless worships but obviously based on arguments from the religion. For example. There is no hadith that says supplicate to Allah to do well in school exams. But it goes without saying that man is allowed to invent this worship because there is a hadith that says ask Allah for table salt if you need it. I am not talking about saying that it is sunnah of the messenger to this and that act at this and that time because obviously that would be bidah. I am simply talking about inventing new ways to express love, respect and gratitude towards Allah. Is it permissible to invent these kinds of worships in Islam that i have written below? Please look at the examples below. For example: Someone says that he will stand for an hour as a sign of respect and gratitude to Allah? Or someone says he will walk for two hours as a sign of love and respect for Allah. Or someone says that he will express his respect and love for Allah by sitting on the couch for two hours. Or someone says I will express my love and respect for Allah by thinking for an hour only about religion and Allah. Or someone says that for an hour I will write subhanallah, alhamdulilah repeatedly to express love and respect for Allah. Because there is a hadith that says that works are evaluated according to the intention. If the intention is good, then what is the problem here?

Would it be Bid’ah to do Salawat,say la ilaha illallah, say Subhanallahi wa bihamdih, say subhanallahi al-’adhim and to say Astaghfirullah a few hundred times every day and in that fixed order?

Salam, I’m not too sure what this would come under so I’ve assumed and put dhikr. It’s the duaa that you read after Maghrib and Fajr. ‘Allahumma Ajirnee Minannarr’ As a kid I was taught to read it 7 times but a post on Instagram said this is unreliable and not authentic Hadith. Can someone find out if this is true because he then stated 3 times is what Prophet muhammed PBUH read. Jazakallah Khair

I have heard that shaitan was afraid of Umar Ibn-e-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him). Since after Ramadan, Shaitan is not leaving me alone. He is constantly attacking me by means of doubts in my heart, derailing my focus, causing me depression and anxiety and hopelessness, and putting me in a disconnected and lost, despaired state. I really want to get rid of Shaitan the rejected. Is it possible that he stays away from me and leave me alone, with Allah's help inshaAllah?

Are we rewarded for dhikr in the mind of the type of saying 1000 times estagfirullah, la ilahe ilallah, Alhamdulilah, ja mukal libel kulubi thebit kalbi ala dinik in the mind only without uttering a single sound or word? In other word you say them only in the mind without moving the lips. And Does Allah accept and reward an invocation or supplication of the type: Allah please give me good understanding of quran and sunnah, Allah please give me strong iman, Allah please give me good health and solve my problems, if it is done in the mind only without moving the lips, without uttering any word or sound?

I heard to perform Ism-e-Azam in several places. I heard that it has a significance but don't know how or what? So, - What is Ism-e-Azam? - What it's significance and why?

Salam, I read a post on Instagram saying that if you read the zikr (subhanallah, alhamdulillah, allahuakbar) 10 times for each phrase after each salah it’s an easy way to gain reward. Another post I saw said to read it 33 times after each salah. Can someone shed some light onto which one is correct and back it up with evidence? Jazakallah Khair.

Can anyone please let me know the Zikr and amal after 5 Salah from **Sahih Hadith**. I would be happy if you kindly break it down by prayer times, like Fajr, Zuhr, Asar, Magrib and Isha.

Do we have to say 'Allahu Akbar' loudly in every rakat of every salat (prayer)? Or is it necessary in some specific salat or rakat?

There are two ahadith regarding the Dhikr: "Allahumma Asbahna Nush-hiduka Wa Nush-hidu Hamalata Arshika..." to say it ***once*** and ***four*** times. I want to know specifically for the hadith mentioned in At-Tirmidhi (3501 ) where the Prophet sallahu alayhi wa sallam said, if you say it **ONCE** that: "Allah will forgive him for whatever he does that day, and if he says it in the evening, Allah will forgive him for whatever sin he commits that night". Darussalam says it's **hasan** while At-Tirmidhi states below it that it is **gharib** (*strange*). Is there any commentary from *Ibn Hajar*, *Albani*, *Al-Haythami*, *Al-Mundhiri*, etc. about this hadith? references: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- muflihun.com/abudawood:5069 / sunnah.com/adab:1201 | "*four times*" muflihun.com/abudawood/43/5060 and the above mentioned (3501) | "*once*" (This is the only info, mainly on the “four“-version I got without any idea on how to exploit it any further for my question)
