Allah ka zikr, yaani Allah ki yaad aur uska dhyaan rakhna, Qur'an mein kayi ayat mein zikr kiya gaya hai. Zikr, iman ko mazbooti deta hai aur insaan ki roohaniyat ko behtar banaata hai. Allah ka zikr insaan ke dil ko sukoon aur chain deta hai. Qur'an ki kuch ahem ayat jo Allah ke zikr ke baare mein hain, unmein se kuch yeh hain:
Urdu Tarjuma:
"اور جب میرے بندے تم سے میرے بارے میں سوال کریں تو (یاد رکھو) میں قریب ہوں، میں دعا کرنے والے کی دعا کو جب بھی وہ مجھے پکارے جواب دیتا ہوں۔

Remember
Everything is included in the Zikr which is related to the remembrance of Allah such as Quran, Namaz and Astaghfaar etc. The complete universe does the Zikr of Allah and every particle of the universe does the Zikr of Allah even every particle of the universe does the Zikr of Allah. The water does the Zikr of Allah while flowing into the rivers or sea, birds do the Zikr of Allah in the air, even all the creatures living inside this earth do the Zikr of Allah.So on the humans Allah pak gave a lot of the blessings like rain and many more and if we started counting the blessing of Allah then we cannot count the blessing of Allah because these blessings are unlimited so we should do the Zikr of Allah like our duty.

When he mentions me, I am with him. If he mentioned me in his heart (Zikr), I also mention it (my splendid) secret, and if he does Zikr (Zikr Jali) in the congregation, then I am better than his congregation in his congregation. I mention If they approach me, I get closer to him with one arm. If they approach me by one arm, I get closer to him with two arms and if they come towards me, I will run towards him.عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي سَعِيْدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رضي الله عنھما : أَنَّھُمَا شَھِدَا عَلَی النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : لَا یَقْعُدُ قَوْمٌ یَذْکَرُوْنَ اللهَ عزوجل إِلَّا حَفَّتْھُمُ الْمَلَائِکَةُ وَغَشِیَتْھُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ، وَنَزَلَتْ عَلَيْھِمُ السَّکِيْنَةُ، وَذَکَرَھُمُ اللهُ فِيْمَنْ عِنْدَهُ۔Both Hazrat Abu Huraira and Abu Sa'id Khadri (RA) testified about the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) that he said: Whenever people sit for the remembrance of Allah, the angels cover them and take mercy on them in their ignorance. He takes and the Sakina (peace and security) is revealed to them.عَنْ أَنَسٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ ﷺ : لَا تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ عَلَی أَحَدٍ یَقُوْلُ : اللهُ، اللهُ۔There will be no Qayammat on any person who says Allah Allah (when the Qayyamat comes there will be no Allah in the world)
