– Firstly, Trying to make Zikr (remembrance of Allah) one’s focal point the way Prophet Muhammad (sws) used to do. It means that with our every action, we should have thought of Almighty in the back of our heads and sometimes this can also take form of oral zikr in the form of different prayers. This also helps one in reminding oneself of their ultimate goal of akhirah and how to acheve it (i.e. tazkiya)
