Lesson 3: Frequency of Dhikr
Dhikr (the remembrance of God) is the life of the heart, that is, Dhikr is as necessary for the heart as water for the fish. Dhikr induces love for God. He/she who seeks access to the love of God should do dhikr profusely. Just as reading and repetition is the door of knowledge, so dhikr of God is the gateway to His love.
Dhikr involves muraqaba or meditation, through which one reaches the state of ihsan or well being, wherein a person worships God as if he/she is actually seeing Him. By virtue of dhikr, the person doing dhikr is blessed, as also the person near to him.
