A zikir a day, keeps the syaitan away

Firman Allah:

"Orang-orang yang beriman itu, hati mereka menjadi  tenteram kerana berzikir kepada Allah, Ingatlah bahawa  dengan berzikir kepada Allah, hati akan menjadi tenteram" (surah ar-Ra'ad:28)

To me, our hearts beats for every single second, it never rest. Our bodies rest when we sleep, but our hearts go on and on, thumping away. We give our hearts pressure when we panic, or shocked or fearful. Our heart  'breaks' when we get hurt and  flutters when we see someone we love.

Our hearts too needs a break, without all the stress or stressors  and that is when we zikir to Allah swt, our Creator. This is from the logical point of view, my simple logic. But if we go into the value of zikir or the importance of zikir  that I can find in the kitabs, here I list down a few.

1. If we think of Allah, Allah thinks of us
2.An ibadat higher than giving sedeqah or going to jihad
3.Save one from the wrath of Allah
4. To keep the syaitan away
5. Istighfar diminishes hardship and increase livelihood.
6.Those who salawat  to Rasulullah saw will get his syafaat in the hereafter
7.Lahaulawala.....azim is an antidote of many ailments including depression
8.Keeps us protected from the temptations in this world
9.Fill our hearts with light
10. Looks easy but not done by many of us.
