Question:
May Allah grant you success. How does one keep the heart present during dhikr (the remembrance of Allah) so that a person is not merely remembering with the tongue?
Answer:
By Allah, this is something I do not know; it varies from person to person. A person does the causes that bring his heart to presence. He does the causes, such as leaving aside distractions and other things, and devoting himself to dhikr. He does the causes. As for the actual occurrence of dhikr with the heart, that is from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
