Dhikr itself is the repetition of praises to Allah. Dhikr serves as a reminder to mankind of the greatness and power of Allah SWT. Therefore, this worship is greatly beloved by Allah, and Allah SWT will bestow blessings and goodness upon those who practice it.

The first benefit of dhikr is bringing blessings. Dhikr is indeed one of the things that enables those who practice it to bring blessings into their lives. Blessings can come in any form. Not only in material form, but even small acts of kindness from someone can also be considered as blessings for those who engage in the act of dhikr.

Moreover, by performing dhikr, you will always be grateful for every opportunity that comes your way. By constantly expressing gratitude every day, even for small things, Allah SWT will increase the blessings for the gratitude you show.

2. Bringing Inner Peace

The second benefit of dhikr is bringing inner peace. Any act of worship, when done sincerely, will bring peace to the heart. This also applies when we regularly engage in dhikr. The heart is one part of the soul that is easily hurt or disturbed.

However, by engaging in dhikr, we can help the heart regain its peace and tranquility. In the Quran, Surah Ar-Rad, verse 28, it is mentioned:

"Indeed, those who believe and whose hearts find tranquility in the remembrance of Allah. Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find tranquility."

This verse proves that when someone feels troubled, remembering Allah SWT can bring peace and tranquility to the heart. So, it is not surprising that by engaging in dhikr, you will experience peace of mind.

3. Getting Many Benefits

Not only does it make the heart more peaceful, it turns out that the benefits of dhikr can also make you have many benefits. Even the Prophet Muhammad said, "There is no group of people who sit while remembering Allah except that they will be surrounded by angels, covered with mercy, and Allah will mention them in the presence of creatures that exist beside Him." (HR. Bukhari).

Even in another hadith, it is mentioned, "There is no group of people who gather while remembering Allah, where with that action they do not desire anything other than Him, except that the inhabitants of the heavens will shout to them, Rise, you have been forgiven. Your evils have been replaced with goodness." (HR. Ahmad).

So by regularly doing dhikr, you will help make your life filled with goodness. And you will be kept away by Allah from various kinds of evils in worldly life.

4. Controlling Emotions

Emotions are always experienced by anyone, so controlling emotions or patience is one of the hardest challenges in life. Even emotions are something that will make us regret actions that are enveloped by emotions. However, as Muslims, you are expected and required to always behave well and be able to control emotions well.

And one of the things that can control emotions well is by doing dhikr activities. Because dhikr not only can make the heart calmer, but dhikr can also keep us away from the temptations of Satan that can also provoke human emotions.

5. Making a Radiant Face

With the happiness and tranquility of our selves in living life, this will affect the body to become healthier and the face to become more pleasant to look at and also radiant.

6. Always Remember Allah

Not only that, another benefit of remembrance (dhikr) is to always remember Allah SWT. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said in a hadith qudsi, Allah SWT said:

"I (Allah SWT) am in the assumption of My servant. And I am with him if he remembers Me. If he remembers Me (Allah) within himself, then I will remember him within Myself. And if the one who remembers Me is among the creatures, then I will remember him among creatures better than them."

This hadith proves that, by always remembering Allah SWT through remembrance (dhikr), we will also always be remembered by Allah SWT. In fact, Allah SWT will always place us in the same position as His most beloved communities.

7. Good for Brain Health

The last benefit of remembrance (dhikr) is that it can provide brain health. The brain is one of the largest and most complex organs in the human body. Inside the brain, there are billions of nerve cells that communicate with each other. And the brain has several parts, one of which is the right cerebrum that functions for holistic thinking, intuition, imagination, creativity, art, and spirituality.

Inside the right brain, there is a part called the God Spot. And this part will illuminate when we engage in spiritual activities such as praying and remembering Allah. When we remember Allah, we carve His names both with our tongue and our heart.

When the tip of the tongue touches the palate, it creates stimulation that is transmitted to the brain, then the brain reacts by releasing HGH, which is the growth hormone that functions for rejuvenating our body cells, so that our aura becomes good. Therefore, when we relax while remembering Allah, the blood vessels widen, the circulation to the brain increases, and the oxygen and nutrients to the brain also increase, resulting in active brain cells.

8. Reading of Dhikr After Prayer

And here are some dhikr readings after prayer that you can read regularly:

Astaghfirullahal'adzim, Alladzi la ilaha illa huwal hayyul qoyyumu wa atubu ilaihi (read 3 times).

Meaning: I seek forgiveness from Allah the Almighty, who there is no god but He, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence, and I repent to Him.

La ilaha illallahu wa'hdahula syariikalahu, lahulmulku walahul'hamdu yu'hyii wayumiitu wahuwa 'alakulli syai'ing qodiiru (read 3 times).

Meaning: There is no god but Allah alone, He has no partner. To Him belongs the kingdom and to Him belongs all praise. He gives life and causes death, and He is All-Powerful over everything.

Allahumma angtassalamu wa mingkassalamu wa ilaika ya'uwdussalamu, fakhayyina rabbana bissalamu wa adkhilnaljannata darossalami tabarokta rabbana wa ta'alaita yadzaljalali wal ikromi

Meaning: O Allah! You are the owner of peace, from You is peace, and to You is the return of peace. Therefore, grant us life, O our Lord, with full of peace. Enter us into paradise, the place of peace. You, O our Lord, are Holy and Supreme, O Being who possesses Greatness and Majesty.

Those are some extraordinary benefits when done regularly. Not only is it an act of worship that can increase rewards, but by remembering Allah we will also have many benefits and be closer to Allah SWT.
