In The Name of Allah-SWT the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
SECRETS OF REVELATION:

The Holy Prophet-SAAW’s bosom was expanded by Allaah-SWT for knowledge and wisdom to an extent that all savants of the world put together cannot appraise its depth. He-SAAW provided solution to every problem of mankind for all times to come and endured hardships and tragedies that no one could possibly match.

 

The great responsibility of conveying Allaah-SWT ’s Message to the entire mankind, to replace falsehood with Truth and to penetrate infidelity with the light of Unity of Allah-SWT , was such a formidable task that it had weighed down his-SAAW back. Yet Allaah-SWT made his-SAAW mission facile and exalted his-SAAW illustrious name by making it a component of the credal statement of Islam, juxtaposed with His-SWT Personal Name. A confession of this statement is the gateway to Islam and it will continue to be cried out five times a day from every masjid in the world forever. Since his-SAAW raising wherever human excellence or the most distinguished personalities of the world are discussed, his-SAAW name always tops the list. 

 

Zikr Allah-SWT

 Every hardship is followed by relief, and every effort bears fruit. So whenever the Holy Prophet-SAAW feels fatigued after his busy schedule of propagation of Islam and managing affairs of the State he-SW may remember Allaah-SWT for relaxation. Though his-SW missionary preoccupation was guidance and reformation of mankind, an indirect form of worship, yet he-SW  may not be content with it. And as soon as he-SW  is free he-SW  should directly and in solitude turn to Allah-SWT , remember Him-SWT and supplicate to Him-SWT . It is, therefore, imperative for the scholars and the propagators of his-SW’s mission to dedicate sometime to Allah-SWT's Zikr in solitude, in order to acquire and dispense his-SW Barakah to mankind.
