How much Zikr should I do daily?

  Start small. Even 100 times of simple phrases like “SubhanAllah” or “Astaghfirullah” can change your day.          

Does Zikr help with anxiety or depression?

     

Yes, Zikr brings inner peace. Allah says:

“Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.”
(Surah Ar-Ra’d 13:28)

Zikr, or the remembrance of Allah, is one of the most beautiful and powerful acts in Islam. It's not just limited to repeating words; it's about keeping Allah in our hearts, minds, and actions. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ encouraged Zikr in many authentic ahadees (sayings), showing us how important it is for our spiritual growth, peace of heart, and closeness to our Creator.

Let’s explore what the Hadith says about Zikr, its importance, and how it brings light to our lives.

     

What the Quran Says About Zikr

     

Before diving into Hadith, it's important to note that Allah mentions Zikr many times in the Quran:

"فَاذْكُرُونِي أَذْكُرْكُمْ"
"So remember Me; I will remember you."
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:152)

This ayah is a divine invitation — when we remember Allah, He remembers us!
