He who seeks access to the love of Almighty Allah Ta’ala should do Zikr profusely. Just as reading and repetition is the door of knowledge, so Zikr of Allah is the gateway of His love.
- It helps in realization of Allah so that by and by a stage is reached when he comes to regard Almighty Allah as his sole Cherisher, Guardian and Master, and he turns unto Him, in all afflictions.
- It is the key to the nearness of Almighty Allah.
- More abundant the Zikr, more one will get nearer to Allah, and greater the indifference to Zikr, greater will be the distance from Him.
