Imam Ali (a) is quoted as saying...

Imam Ali (a) is quoted as saying: "ذكر الله مطردة الشيطان" "Remembrance of God drives the Satan away."[^5] "ذكر الله دواء أعلال النفوس" "Remembrance ofGod is the medicine for the soul's maladies."[^6] "يا من اسمه دواء وذكره شفاء" "O He whose Name is a Remedy, whose remembrance is cure."[^7] Through perpetual remembrance of God, the Divine grace grants the heart a human life and makes it radiant, reinforces the soul, makes the man of heart intimate with his God, gradually gracing man with the elixir of love and affection; Imam Ali (a), the great knower of Allah and the one familiar with the maladies of human soul, said accordingly: "من ذكر الله سبحانه أحيى الله قلبه ونور عقله ولبه" "Whoever remembers God Almighty, God will enliven his heart and enlighten his mind and intellect."[^8] "مداومة الذكر قوت الأرواح" "Perpetually remembering God gives sustenance to the soul."[^9] "الذكر مفتاح الأنس" "Remembrance of God is the key to proximity (to Him)."[^10] "من أكثر ذكر الله أحبه" "Whoever remembers God abundantly, God will love him."[^11] What was briefly brought up here is a small part of the blessings of remembering God in life and in enrichment and development of human beings.[^12] With some deliberation on the above mentioned, however, it will be clarified that how valuable is any moment that we are remembering God and how detrimental is any breath that we take without remembenng God.

Remembrance of God in Sleep Dr. Thubati said: Once we were invited by a member of the session to his house for lunch. After lunch, everybody proceeded to rest. I was lying down and remembering God and thinking in this relation with my eyes closed.

At this moment, the Shaykh who was sitting before me and noticing me recommended to the friends: "You should be remembering God even when you are sleeping." That was the only time I heard him recommend remembering God even at sleep in that session and I do not remember him mentioning it anywhere else. A Message from Barzakh One of the Shaykh's friends related: Once I had an audience with the Shaykh who said: "I saw a young man in barzakh who was saying: 'You do not know what is going on here!
