About Dhikr
Dhikr covers recitation of the Quran, saying phrases such as La ilaha illa Allah, istighfar and sending blessings on the Prophet. It can be done at any time and in any state, quietly or aloud, and the Quran encourages much remembrance of God. Specific daily dhikrs after prayers and at morning and evening are taught by scholars.
