Q 3: Which is better: Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah) or voluntary Jihad (striving in the Cause of Allah)?


A: A Muslim who remembers Allah and performs Jihad is better than one who only remembers Allah or who performs Jihad (Part No. 24; Page No. 231) and does not remember Allah. Similarly, a Muslim who remembers Allah without performing Jihad is better than one who performs Jihad and does not remember Allah. Thus, the best of those who remember Allah are those who perform Jihad and the best of those who perform Jihad are those who remember Allah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
