[Ahzaab 33:41] The Messenger () said, “Shall I not tell you the best of your deeds, the nicest to Your Owner, the highest in your ranks, better for you than spending gold and silver, and better for you than meeting your enemy whereupon you strike their necks and they strike your necks?” They said, “Yes, O Messenger of Allaah ().” He said, “The remembrance of Allaah (dhikr).”1 (i.e. Dhikr is better than giving in charity, jihaad and martyrdom) Virtue/ Reward2 Times English Meaning Transliteration Arabic Best dhikr is reading the Qur’aan. 10 rewards for each letter read.
