Dhikr and the Law of Burglary

This was something that I was inspired to write on from an excellent speech I'm listening to...

Ibn Al-Jawzhi, gave an advice in his book Sayd al-Khatir where he mentions the single most important rule which every Burglar must learn if he wishes to become an expert on break-ins. And that rule is:
"Take what is light in weight, but heavy in value"

In other words, you don't wanna walk out with the couch or the wardrobe...you search for the safe and made do with the jewelery, gold and the diamonds.

Not to be teaching anyone about robbing a house, but this is also the principle we need to follow when it comes to Amal as-Sa'lih - good deeds.
You don't wanna waste time doing big things which get you little reward...time is short so we need to do things that are light in weight but heavy on the scale on the Day.
And one of the most important of such things is the Dhikr of Allah.We might think that just because its easy to say, it might not be of much benefit but that's not how it is.

Dhikr can carry enormous rewards.
For instance:
Subhanallahil Atheem....gets you a tree in Jannah!
La howla wala khowwatha illa billah...is among the treasures of Jannah.

So go ahead - and build up your place!
