اَللّـهُمَّ اَعِنّي فِيهِ عَلى صِيامِهِ وَقِيامِهِ،

O Allah, on this day, help me with its fasts and prayers,

وَجَنِّبْني فيهِ مِنْ هَفَواتِهِ وَآثامِهِ،

and keep me away from mistakes and sins of the day,

وَارْزُقْني فيهِ ذِكْرَكَ بِدَوامِهِ،

grant me that I remember You continuously through the day,

بِتَوْفيقِكَ يا هادِيَ الْمُضِلّينَ.

by Your assistance, O the Guide of those who stray.

The best way to attain the status of ceaseless Dhikr

Without doubt, Dhikr is effective when one perseveres in it and engages in it tirelessly and at all times. However, this is not possible except through love and extreme affection which are, in turn, attained through perseverance in the face of hardship and difficulties. Such perseverance in remembering Allah will revitalize the heart and the soul and give one spiritual insight. It is through such insight that one will be able to see what is truly right and what is truly wrong and will also be able to clearly discern what assists his progress toward eternal felicity and what threatens it.
