Azkar do not have required
effects because of:
For the one who just hears it: Committing sins
(blocks the heart; makes it hard)
For the one who does zikr: Continuing in sins /wrong practices
Eating Haraam
Lack of understanding of the meaning of those
Azkar
Lack of knowledge about the virtues of Azkar

Azkar do not have required
effects because of:
Lack of pondering / thinking over (Tafakkur +
Zikr should go together). This makes a huge
difference between an abid and an alim.
Lack of firm faith and trust that Allah will
respond (Allah is with the thinking of the slave)

Takbeer:
The most often repeated phrase in our lives
(esp. in Azan, Iqamah, and Salah)
Like the striking of clock every hour,reminding him of the duties towards Allah.
Repeated almost 200 times by every Muslim
Repeated another 200 times if you recite it33 times after every Salah and before sleep!

life???
What is its effect right in the Salah itself? OR is it meant to have no effect at all? (The
way we are living right now, illa

Greater than?

It should have been followed by than
something / someone.Ex: Ahmad is greater than Umar
But it is dropped here. Why?
To remind us that Allah can not becompared with any of His creation. He is
the Greatest.

Do we really mean ?
After listening to Fajr Azan: If we still
sleep, then is sleep greater or Allah?
During the day: Is our work, meeting,chatting, eating, shopping, going or coming
to some place, greater (and therefore
deserves our attention) or Allah? Even
worse, watching TV or just having fun with
Haraam greater than Allah?

Imagine a scenario. My boss (at the job) tells me
to prepare a report. I do not do it or do it badly
and when I see him, I say, Boss! You are great!
Another scenario: He asks me to come to job at7.30 AM. I go there by 9 AM and say, Boss! You
are great!

The biggest obstacle that a person has in
following the right path is his ego. He
always thinks he is right. He is reminded
again and again that he has to crush his ego
in front of Allah. He is nothingAllah is

life around Allahs commandments.

In Adhan & Salah
We are asked to repeat the words of Muazzin.
This is to interact and respond to the call and act
accordingly.
During Salah, we say it 6 times every Rakah.
People get into worldly thoughts, programs,
worries and they are reminded again that Allah is
greater than everything else. So they dont
deserve attention. Pay attention to Him alone and
come back to Salah.

upon people, do you know that Allahu Akbar! O Oppressor! Allahu Akbar! He destroyed
Firoun and so many others.
O the one who thinks he is Smart or Intelligent or
Boss of someone! Remember AllahuAkbar! And lastly, O poor, humble, and helpless person!
Remember AllahuAkbar! Nobody is greater thanHim.
