Remembrance (Zikr) of Allah best way to increase imaan and is the best of all deeds!

Should I not inform you about the best of your deeds, and the purest in the sight of Your Master (i.e. Allah), and that which will elevate you to the highest of ranks, and that which is better for you than the spending of gold and silver in charity, and that which is better for you than if you were to meet your enemies and strike their necks and they strike yours? (The Sahaabah(Ra) replied, ‘Yes, indeed’. Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] said,) The Zikr of Allah. (Tirmizi)


Dhikir of Allah at intervals while engaged in business is a source of great reward and merit. It is mentioned in hadith that in a place where people are oblivious to dhikir, remembrance of Allah is like being steadfast in jihad, when others are running away. (Targhib, p. 193, vol. 3 ref. Bazar and Tibrani)


Hadhrat Mu'az [RA] narrated Rasulallah (Peace be upon him) said: “The Inhabitants of Paradise will not be grief stricken or sorrowful about anything they did in the life of the world except for the time they spent without being in the remembrance of Allah” (Tabaraani)

Abu Qabala, one of the famous followers (tabi'in) said that once two men met in the market and one said, "Come let us seek Allah's pardon when others are forgetful of Allah." The second man did it. The one of them died and the other saw him in a dream saying, "Allah had pardoned us on the very same evening we had met in the market."
