Question:
This person asks: Is it better to engage in reciting the Qur'an or in dhikr?
Answer:
We say: He should combine them; sometimes he recites the Qur'an, and sometimes he remembers Allah the Exalted. Reciting the Qur'an is the greatest dhikr of Allah; it is a remembrance of Allah, and indeed it is the greatest remembrance. And for him to combine them—sometimes reciting and sometimes remembering Allah—is better and more complete. Yes.
