In this session, Shaykh Abdur-Rahman discusses how one can progress with their dhikr and how it is important to not abandon it despite low levels of concentration. It is a ploy of Shaytaan to get one to abandon dhikr altogether as he knows the great benefit dhikr holds.

The Shaykh goes on to mentions that concentration levels develop over time and it is important for one to not become hopeless or despondent. The journey of dhikr is such that one must first engage their tongue in the rememberance of Allah and the heart will then follow, both becoming in sync.

Allah has said “If you remember me then I will remember you”. This is how the Lord honours and bestows His grace upon His obedient servants by allowing them to remember Him and He remembering them. By acknowledging this the Seeker of the Path holds dear each precious second of the dhikr and mediation and enthusiastically builds upon it.
