This dikhr will change your life insha Allah

Summary

The speakers emphasize building a consistent, attentive practice of dhikr (remembrance of Allah). They encourage treating worship as a way to deepen closeness to Allah, rather than merely as a means of obtaining worldly benefits.

Key Practices and Suggestions

• Establish a daily dhikr routine: Recite 100 times each:
  • Astaghfirullah (seeking forgiveness)
  • Salawat upon the Prophet, using a version you prefer
  • La ilaha illallah

Choose a practical time, such as after Fajr or before bed, and make the practice intentional rather than squeezing it into distracted multitasking.

• Prepare and focus: For dedicated dhikr, make wudu and face the qibla. Remembering the reward and that Allah is aware of you may help make the practice feel more meaningful.

• Read reminders from religious texts: The speakers recommend reading hadith about worship and dhikr, including relevant chapters of Riyad as-Salihin, as a source of motivation.

• Stay after prayer for tasbih: Try not to leave immediately after salah. Recite 33 times Subhanallah, 33 times Alhamdulillah, and 34 times Allahu akbar. Begin even if your attention wanders, then gradually work on saying the words with awareness.

• Build presence in sujud: The speakers describe prostration as a particularly close moment with Allah. They encourage using it to make personal supplications, reflect, or simply be present, rather than letting the mind dwell on everyday worries.

• Prepare for focus before salah: Khushu (attentive presence in prayer) takes work outside the prayer itself. Slow down beforehand, and use the sunnah prayer before the obligatory prayer as a “warm-up” to shift out of the rush of daily activity.

• Try a simple tahajjud practice: Begin with two short rak‘ahs. In another two rak‘ahs, spend longer in sujud—one suggestion is around ten minutes. You may repeat Subhana Rabbi al-A‘la, make personal dua, or remain quietly present.

• Manage what occupies your attention: The speakers advise being mindful of screens, music, and other sensory input, noting that what a person sees and hears can replay in the mind and distract the heart. They present guarding your attention as a way to support remembrance and focus.

• Keep the deeper purpose in view: Istighfar is mentioned as a Quranic practice associated with seeking provision, but the speakers caution against treating dhikr only as a tool for obtaining worldly things. They encourage seeking knowledge of and closeness to Allah as the greater aim.
