Did you know, you can remember Allah for literally MOST of the time? For example, you can glorify His attributes only by using Tongue during any task, while doing any work, walking somewhere, standing anywhere, waiting, sitting; on the bus, car, bike, boat, train, airplane, and most other places; except the toilet.
How many times you could count up the amount of glorifying the attributes of Allah while travelling to somewhere far away?
What would happen if you started to constantly repeat the same glorification of Allah, meanwhile you're merely waiting for someone or something for a long time?
What if you could seriously initiate repeating a series of some special glorifications upon His names & attributes while waiting at the railway-station, bus-stop or airport?
How wonderful would it be, when you keep repeating the same greatness of Him when you are completely enshrouded with boredom, until someone distracts you? Well, such distraction will certainly take a long time to occur for real.
Final Question; if you successfully did all of these above things, how much potential changes your life would actually witness?
What successes will each of these acts collectively bring to you?
Don't worry, I am answering this last one myself for you.
On the Day of Judgement, if an Integral calculus is calculated based on the total amount of Hasanah or Thawab gained from all of these latent but potential sets of series of glorifications, remembrances, praises, & the movements of tongue upon the unmatched attributes of Allah, we would undoubtedly get surprised to see the actual result.
Some General words of praising Allah are;
الحمد لله
لا إله إلا الله
الله أكبر
أستغفر الله
You can also use the full-version of each of these great words in the following way:
.سبحان الله العظيم وبحمده
.الحمد لله ربّ العالمين
__________________________
،لا إله إلّا الله وحده لا شريك له
،له الملك وله الحمد يحيى ويميت
،وهو حيّ لا يموت أبدا أبدا
،ذو الجلال والإكرام
،بيده الخير
.وهو على كلّ شيء قدير
__________________________
،أستغفر الله ربّي من كلّ ذنبي وأتوب إليه
لا حول ولا قوّة إلّا بالله العلىّ العظيم
or the Sayyid ul-2istighfar,
اللّهم أنت ربّي، لا إله إلّا أنت، (سبحانك، إنّي كنت من الظالمين) خلقتني وأنا عبدك وأنا على عهدك ووعدك مستطعت، أعوذبك من شرّ ما صنعت، أبوء لك بنعمتك عليّ وأبوء لك بذنبي، فغفر لي فإنّه لا يغفر الذنوب إلّا أنت
Allah said this about those Great people, who constantly and consistently remember Him:
(They are) those who remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth (and pray),
“Our Lord! You have not created ˹all of˺ this without purpose. Glory be to You! Protect us from the torment of the Fire.”
[Surah Aal-e-'Imraan, verse-191]
So, He commanded us:
Therefore, remember Me; I will remember you. Thank Me and never be ungrateful.
[Surah Al-Baqarah, verse-152]
By putting an emphasis on His remembrance, He said:
Those who believe and their hearts find comfort in the remembrance of Allah. Surely in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find comfort.
[Surah Ar-Ra'ad, verse-28]
The dhikrullah is also important in case of facing a group of several enemies alone. That is, for becoming a One-man-Army. As Allah says in the Quran:
O believers! When you face an enemy, stand firm and keep remembering Allah, so that you could triumph (over them).
[Surah Al-Anfal, verse-45]
Oh! I just remembered another set of verses regarding this One-man-Army concept. Wanna read that? Then go to this bolded reference below, I just gave you a relevant translation of it:
Those who were warned, “A Great army (of enemies) assembling against you had mobilized their forces, so fear them!” That warning (only) made their faith to grow stronger and they replied, “Allah (alone) is sufficient (as an aid) for us and He is the best Protector.”
So, they returned with Allah’s favors and graces, suffering no harm. For they sought to please Allah. And surely Allah is the Lord of infinite bounties.
That (warning) was only from Satan, trying to prompt you on fearing his followers. So do not fear them; fear (only) Me, if you are true believers.
[Surah Aal-e-'Imraan, verse-173-175]
Finally, Allah briefly described a special characteristic about them in the following verse:
By the men, who are not distracted, either by buying or selling, from Allah’s remembrance, or performing prayer, or paying alms-tax (Zakat). They fear a Day when hearts and eyes will tremble.
[Surah An-Noor, verse-37]
In a conclusion, I will highly recommend you with a bold emphasis to permanently habituate your tongue in constantly remembering the attributes of Allah wherever you are right now.
