Dhikr

A man who remembers God in his heart
builds on his relationship with God.
As the remembrance increases, deepens and strengthens
so the love of God starts to find settlement in his heart.
He begins to feel unease around sin,
distant from cruelty, unwilling to violate the rights of others.
His being begins to grow fit
for the peace, serenity and joy of Paradise that awaits.

(Some thoughts thought(!) whilst reading a passage in Mufti Taqi Uthmani's Spiritual Discourses Volume 4 about how 'Dhikr' is beneficial for us ourselves and does not benefit God or increase His dominion in any way.)
