Al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
'The best remembrance of Allah is in the presence of what was forbidden by Allah.'
The best remembrance (dhikr) is not to repeat 'La ilaha illa Allah, la ilaha illa Allah' with your tongue only. True dhikr is when your nafs speaks to you about committing a sin, and you remember that Allah is with you, looking at you. This thought that comes into your heart is better than the world and all that is in it.
- Shaykh Salih al-Ja'fari
