24. Causes tranquillity and calm to descend, with the arrival of
mercy and the angels surround a person who makes dhikr, as

67
stated by the Prophet .
25. Dhikr busies the tongue from carrying out ghībah (slanderous

gossip), slander, lies, despicableness and that which is invalid.
It is already righteous for a servant when speaking or saying

something to let it be good or remain silent. “He’ must be
distanced from ghībah (saying something shameful about

another person), falsehood (lies), seditiousness, despicable and

contemptible speech, slander and matters prohibited by Allāh.
Because of that ‘he’ must cleanse his speech (tongue) with

much dhikr. Whoever is accustomed to using his tongue for
dhikr, then his tongue is more mindful of and safeguarding

from that which is invalid and speech that is wasteful and vain.

However, as for the tongue that never knows dhikr, then what
is invalid and despicable will often be uttered from the tongue.

26. A gathering within which there is dhikr is a gathering attended
by angels, whereas a gathering that is negligent (of dhikr) and

self-centred is a gathering attended by and of Shaiṭān. Let it be
that a servant chooses that which ‘he’ likes better and is of

more priority (more important). Because by doing that ‘he’ can

establish a place in this world and in the Hereafter.

27. The angels will always request forgiveness from Allāh for
those people who perform dhikr. And much dhikr prevents a

person from the qualities of hypocrisy.
