SAYINGS OF PROPHET MOHAMMED SAW.., The Prophet Muhammad, like all other prophets of God, was engaged in the remembrance of God most of the time. He is known to have said: 1. There is a polish for everything that removes the rust and the polish for the rust-of- heart is the dhikr (remembrance) of God. 2. He was asked which people are most virtuous and most highly esteemed by God on the Day of Judgement. The messenger of God (P) replied Those who remember God often. 3. It is narrated in a hadith Qudsi (direct revelation to Prophet Muhammad) God Most High says I am as my Servant thinks I am. I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me by himself, I make mention of him to Myself. If he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assembly better than his. If he comes closer to Me a hand span, I come closer to him arms-length, if he comes to Me walking, I come to him running. Thus meditation/remembrance has been a practice of all Sufi sheikhs. In the words of Sheikh al-Mursi dhikr (meditation) pleases God, defeats and drives evil forces, increases livelihood, makes the personality more prestigious, cleanses the heart, removes the faults and saves the tongue from lying, gossip, backbiting and hypocrisy while engaged in the remembrance of God.
