Summary

Silent remembrance of Allah in the heart means being mindful of Allah and reflecting on His power and greatness. The fatwa states that it is a recommended sunnah in Islamic law and brings great reward to the one who does it. Such remembrance is linked with humility and fear of Allah, and remembrance by the tongue is likewise part of dhikr.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

berzikir di dalam hati dalam erti kata mengingati Allah S.W.T dan mengenangkan kekuasaan serta kebesaran-Nya merupakan suatu sunnah yang dituntut di sisi syarak dan memberikan ganjaran pahala yang besar kepada para pelakunya.
