ZIKR OR TAZKIR (Allah's Remembrance)
This is the science of invocation and admonition. God says: Remind them because Zikr or admonition benefits the believers (Glorious Quran 51:55). There are many traditions regarding the merits of the assemblies of Zikr. The Prophet SAW said: When you pass by the garden of paradise, enjoy yourselves. He was asked: What are the gardens of Paradise? He said: Assemblies of Zikr (remembrance of God).
The Prophet said: The angels of God roam in the horizon except the angels of creation. When they see any assembly of Zikr, they accost themselves and say: Come unto your goals. They then come to the place, surround them and hear them, remember God and take lessons. Now the assembly of Zikr means the assembly of lectures wherein the modern lecturers deliver long speeches, tell stories, recite poems and poetries and sing songs. Such was not the practice at the time of the four rightly guided Caliphs.
Story-telling is an innovation. Ibn Omar once came out of the mosque exclaiming: None has sent me out except a story-teller. Hazrat Ali turned out the story tellers from the congregational mosque of Basra. He did not turn out Hasan Basari as he used to deal with the hereafter, contemplation of death, defects of soul, machinations of the devil. Such is the assembly about which the Prophet said: To be present at the assembly of Zikr is better than one thousand rak'ats of prayers, visiting one thousand sick men and attending one thousand funerals. Hazrat Ata said: One assembly of Zikr expiates the sins of seventy (70) assemblies of useless talks.
The Prophet once heard three talks from Abdullahb-Rawahah and said: 0 Abu Rawahah, keep yourself far from ornamental talks. He asked the Prophet SAW one day about the blood money of a child which died in the womb of its mother saying: How shall we pay the blood wit of a child who has taken no food, no drink, nor cried, nor breathed. Such murder is excusable. The Prophet SAW said: are you like the desert Arabs who indulge in ornamental words? - Imam al-Ghazali, Ihya Ulumuddin.

ON DHIKR (REMEMBRANCE OF GOD) from 'NUZHAT AL-MAJALIS' by GF Haddad [ 1 ]  ON DHIKR (REMEMBRANCE OF GOD) from 'NUZHAT AL-MAJALIS' God, the Exalted, said:  {  Verily in the remembrance of God ( dhikr Allah ) do hearts find rest! }   (13:28) . If it is asked: How is the meaning of this verse reconciled with that of His saying:  {  They only are the true believers whose hearts feel fear ( wajilat  = tremble or shake) when God is mentioned ( dhukir Allah ) }   (8:2) , the answer is that in the latter the purpose of God's mention is to bring to mind His greatness and the intensity of His vengeance against those who disobey Him. This verse was revealed at a time when the Companions had a disagreement concerning the spoils of the battle of Badr. Therefore the mention or the remembrance of what is fearsome became appropriate. As for the former verse, it concerns whoever God guided and who has turned to God with love. Therefore the mention of God's...
