Is it hoped that saying "the best remembrance" encompasses all virtue?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Reciting the Holy Quran is superior to all other forms of dhikr (remembrance of Allah), unless a particular dhikr is prescribed for specific times, in which case the prescribed dhikr takes precedence. The best words after the Quran are four: "SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah), Al-Hamdulillah (All praise is due to Allah), La ilaha illa Allah (There is no god but Allah), and Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest)." Whoever is preoccupied with dhikr and Quranic recitation over du'a (supplication) will attain the best of what is given to those who ask. The true believer divides their time between recitation, prayer, dhikr, and the authentic du'as at their designated times.
