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!

What an intelligent example. :D
It's amazing the amount of Bid'ah the people in the Indian Subcontinent indulge into and how difficult it is to convince them to come out of it.
But even before one performs any good deed, their aqeedah (beliefs) must be according to the Qur'an and Sunnah. If their aqeedah is corrupt, no matter how many Rak'aats they pray or no matter how much Dhikr they do, their good deeds will not be accepted (My Allah show us the way). And Allah is the best Judge.
Assalamu alaikum wrb, why don't you write more here?
Just a question!!!!
Doing the dhikr is fine and sounds good. I know the difficulty too. My question is whether Jannah is guaranteed for the person saying those dhikr?
Subhanallahil Azheem
