The Soul of our Body – Zikr

Hazrat Mufti Ebrahim Salejee (Daamat Barakaatuhu) mentioned:

Hazrat Shah Waliyyullah (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) expounding on the importance of zikr says: “Zikr is actually like the soul in the body.” Zikr brings flavour not only to our ‘ibaadaat but to our earthly life. Hence a man in zikr is always happy at heart and is not stormed by frustration, anxiety and uneasiness. Every little thing doesn’t begin to irritate and frustrate him. He is not constantly stuck in these thoughts that why are people not respecting me, why do people make things so difficult for me.
