Dream - Dhikr is one of the practices commanded in Islam. As a Muslim, one should always spend their time in remembrance of Allah SWT. Dhikr brings us closer to and reminds us of Allah SWT. By engaging in dhikr, it can bring rewards from Allah SWT. Friends of Dream can engage in dhikr anytime and anywhere. There are many dhikr readings that you can practice daily. In fact, there are dhikr phrases that confuse the angels in recording them.

Strengthening the bond with Allah: Dzikir helps individuals to establish a deeper relationship with the Almighty Creator, creating a sense of closeness and intimacy. Obtaining Blessings and Forgiveness: Uttering dzikir according to religious guidance yields abundant rewards from Allah. It becomes a means to seek His mercy and forgiveness for our mistakes and sins. Enhancing Spirituality: Regular dzikir purifies the heart, elevates the soul, and enhances spirituality. It helps individuals to remain focused on Allah and steadfast in His teachings.

Protection from Crime: Engaging in remembrance of Allah acts as a shield from the influence of Satan. Continuous remembrance of Allah protects individuals from falling into sinful acts. As a Source of Guidance: Remembrance of Allah serves as a source of guidance, helping individuals make right choices and decisions in their personal and professional lives. Inner Peace and Tranquility: Remembrance of Allah brings a sense of peace and tranquility. It calms the heart, reduces anxiety, and provides comfort during difficult times.

Sarana untuk Introspeksi Diri: Dzikir encourages individuals to reflect on their actions, seek self-improvement, and strive for continuous spiritual development.
Increased Productivity: Engaging in dzikir refreshes the mind and soul, enhancing productivity and focus in daily activities.
Surrounded by Angels: The Quran affirms that angels surround those who engage in dzikir, praying for blessings and seeking forgiveness for them.

In a hadith narrated by Ibn Majah, someone recited the following dhikr: يَا رَبَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِجَلَالِ وَجْهِكَ وَلِعَظِيمِ سُلْطَانِكَ which means: "O Lord, to You belongs all praise as it should be for the glory of Your face and the greatness of Your power." There are two angels who will record the rewards for that person, but the angels are confused because they do not know how to record the rewards from this dhikr.

The two angels then ascended to the heavens to report to Allah SWT. "O our Lord, indeed Your servant has been remembering You with words that we do not know how to write." said the two angels. Allah SWT asked them, "O angels, what did my servant say?" "O my Lord, he said 'O my Lord, all praise is due to You, as it befits the glory of Your face and the greatness of Your sovereignty.'"

Then, Allah SWT said: "Write as it is spoken by My servant until he meets Me and I myself will reward him." That is the remembrance phrase that confuses the angels to record it. The remembrance phrase is short and also not difficult to memorize, but very special in the sight of Allah SWT.

Dzikir plays a significant role in worship due to its significant influence. By remembering and uttering the names of Allah, we strengthen our spiritual connection with Him. Dzikir also has its own benefits, whether done in the heart or with words. Dzikir in the heart allows us to be more focused and devout in worship. By uttering dzikir in the heart, we avoid distractions from the outside and can achieve peace in communicating with Allah.

Besides that, dhikr in the heart also provides freedom and privacy in worship so as not to disturb people around us. However, dhikr with the tongue has its own advantages. Dhikr with the tongue helps us maintain awareness of Him throughout the day. When we utter dhikr with the tongue, we actively strengthen the remembrance of Allah and avoid forgetfulness and mistakes. Uttering dhikr with the tongue also provides social benefits, as it can be an example for others and inspire them to engage in dhikr.

Overall, both have equally important and inseparable benefits. Dzikir in the heart helps us achieve tranquility and focus, while dzikir with the tongue helps us maintain awareness and inspire others. Therefore, it is best to combine both in our daily lives to obtain greater benefits in worship.
