importance of muslim unity

As Muslims, it is our duty to perform Dhikr of Allah (SWT). The term Dhikr literally means to call back to memory, or to have something in concious mind. Therefore to perform Dhikr of Allah (SWT) actually implies that we ought to be God-concious OR concious of Allah (SWT) at all times. The term also means “to remember” or “a reminder”.
Some of the ways of performing Dhikr are as follows:
Prayer: Saying of prayer is a greatest form of Dhikr. Allah (SWT) says:
“…and establish prayer. Verily prayer keeps you away from the obscene and detestable and verily the remebrance of Allah is the greatest”. (29:45)
S V Mir Ahmad Ali states in his tafseer of this verse states:
Through the Holy Prophet (saww), the believers are addressed to pray “SALAT” regularly because it is the greatest remembrance of Allah (SWT).
Elsewhere, in the tafseer of verse 132 of Surah TA-HA (Chapter 20), he explains:
A faithful (Mumin) makes use of the SALAT as a ladder to reach the closest nearness of Allah (Mi’raj).
Contemplating on the creations, invoking Allah (SWT) and glorifying Him: These are also considered as Dhikr. Allah (SWT) says:
“Those who remember Allah, standing and sitting, and reclining, and reflect and contemplate on the creation of the heavens and the earth, (say): Our Lord! You have not created (all) these in vain! Glory be to You! Save us then from the torment of the fire”. (3:191)
“…and remember your Lord much and glorify Him in the evening and morning”. (3:41)
