The reward for dhikr without reflecting on its meanings
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on the dhikr that a person says with his tongue but does not reflect on its meanings? Does he receive reward for this dhikr?
Answer:
He mentions it, and he will be rewarded for it, if Allah wills. Not everyone knows the meanings, and not everyone... so the matter is broad, and praise be to Allah. The important thing is that he increases in the remembrance of Allah the Exalted, praising Him, declaring Him free of all imperfections, and glorifying Him, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
