۞
Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Remembering God often is one of the most important acts that God has made incumbent upon His servants.” He then added: “Beware that by this I do not mean just reciting the praises of God the Almighty. Rather I mean remembering what God has allowed, what He has forbidden, obeying God and abandoning sins.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
من أشد ما فرض الله على خلقه ذكر الله كثيرا، ثم قال: أما لا أعني " سبحان الله والحمد لله ولا إله إلا الله والله أكبر " وإن كان منه، ولكن ذكر الله عندما أحل وحرم، فإن كان طاعة عمل بها وإن كان معصية تركها.
