What is the minimum amount of Thikr one should make daily?

Answer

There is no minimum amount of thikr. Thikr has to be perpetual – while walking, sitting, lying down, working, etc. The Mu'min's tongue must be engaged in Thikrullaah at all times. This perpetual thikr will ensure that the thikr becomes engraved and entrenched in the heart. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Your tongue should remain ever fresh with Thikrullaah." The purpose of life on earth is Thikrullah. The Qur'aan Majeed states: "I have not created jinn and man except that they render ibaadat to Me." All other activities on earth besides Thikrullah are secondary and have to be made subservient to Allah's Remembrance, hence Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Every obedient person is a thaakir (one who remembers Allah)." We are required to measure all our worldly activities constantly on the scale of the Shariah, then only will we become people of Thikr.
