Allah Says (what means): “Indeed, the Muslim men and Muslim women, the believing men and believing women, the obedient men and obedient women, the truthful men and truthful women, the patient men and patient women, the humble men and humble women, the charitable men and charitable women, the fasting men and fasting women, the men who guard their private parts and the women who do so, and the men who mention Allah often and the women who do so – for them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a great reward.” [Quran 33: 35]
And also (what means): “O You who believe! Remember Allah with much remembrance. And exalt Him morning and afternoon.” [Quran 33: 41-42]
Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Apostle 
said: “The Mufarridoon have surpassed (the others) (i.e. in terms of reward).” The people asked: “Who are the Mufarridoon?” He replied: “Those men and women who frequently mention Allah.” [Muslim]
said: “The Mufarridoon have surpassed (the others) (i.e. in terms of reward).” The people asked: “Who are the Mufarridoon?” He replied: “Those men and women who frequently mention Allah.” [Muslim]Mentioning Allah has many benefits which the slave will reap, both in this world as well as the Hereafter. Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim 
recorded more than seventy benefits of mentioning Allah in a famous work of his. The following is a summary of what he stated in this regard.
recorded more than seventy benefits of mentioning Allah in a famous work of his. The following is a summary of what he stated in this regard.Benefits of mentioning Allah:
[1] It expels, dismisses and humiliates Satan.
[2] It pleases Allah, glorified be He.
[3] It removes the worries and anxieties of the heart.
[4] It engulfs the heart with happiness and joy.
[5] It strengthens both heart and body.
[6] It illuminates the face and heart.
[7] It is a means for obtaining provision.
[8] It garnishes the one who practices it with nobility, delightfulness and radiance.
[9] It leads the person to be loved by Allah, which is the very essence of Islam and the cornerstone of happiness and salvation. One who strives to attain the love of Allah must be zealous in his mentioning of Allah.
[10] It causes the person to be conscious of Allah, to the point where he would reach the state of Ihsaan (i.e., perfection of faith), and once this is attained, he will worship Allah as if he sees Him.
[11] It leads to penitence and repentance to Allah. When a Muslim turns to Allah by frequently mentioning Him, it will lead his heart to turn to Him in every state. Accordingly, Allah the Exalted will be his haven, his refuge and the One to whom he will revert when in trouble or danger.
[12] It brings the slave nearer to His Lord. The more one mentions Allah, the closer he will be to Him, and the more heedless he is in mentioning Allah, the further from Him he will be.
[13] It makes Allah mention His slave, as Allah Says (what means): “So mention Me; I will mention you…”[Quran 2: 152]
Despite its greatness, if the mentioning of Allah had no other benefits than this, it would have been virtue and honour enough. Allah said in the Qudsi Hadeeth: “And if he (i.e., my servant) mentions Me within himself, I shall mention him to Myself, and if he mentions Me in an assembly, I will mention him in a better assembly.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
[14] It revives the heart. Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim said: “I heard Imaam Ibn Taymiyyah saying: `The similitude of the importance of the mentioning of Allah to the heart is like that of water for fish. How would a fish be if it left water?`”
said: “I heard Imaam Ibn Taymiyyah saying: `The similitude of the importance of the mentioning of Allah to the heart is like that of water for fish. How would a fish be if it left water?`” [15] It is the sustenance of the heart and the soul, and foregoing it would be just like depriving the body of nutrition. Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim said: “I prayed the Fajr prayer once with Imaam Ibn Taymiyyah and after he finished, he remained in his place of prayer mentioning Allah until close to midday, then he turned around and addressed me saying; `This is my daily nutrition; if I did not get this then I would lose my power.`”
said: “I prayed the Fajr prayer once with Imaam Ibn Taymiyyah and after he finished, he remained in his place of prayer mentioning Allah until close to midday, then he turned around and addressed me saying; `This is my daily nutrition; if I did not get this then I would lose my power.`”[16] Righteous deeds eradicate sins, and mentioning Allah is one of the greatest righteous deeds; Allah Says (what means): “…Indeed, good deeds do away with misdeeds…” [Quran 11: 114]
[17] It removes the gap between the slave and his Lord, as the heedless have a huge gap between themselves and their Lord.
[18] It rescues the slave from the punishment of Allah. The Messenger said: “There is nothing that can rescue the slave from the punishment of Allah more than mentioning Him.” [Ahmad]
said: “There is nothing that can rescue the slave from the punishment of Allah more than mentioning Him.” [Ahmad] [19] It results in the descent of mercy and tranquillity, and the company of the angels. The Messenger said: “It is never that a group of people assemble in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah, learning it and teaching it, except that there will descend upon them tranquillity, and mercy will cover them, and the angels will flock around them, and Allah will mention them in the presence of those nearest to Him.” [Muslim]
said: “It is never that a group of people assemble in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah, learning it and teaching it, except that there will descend upon them tranquillity, and mercy will cover them, and the angels will flock around them, and Allah will mention them in the presence of those nearest to Him.” [Muslim] [20] It busies the tongue away from backbiting, tale-bearing, lying and foul speech. It is certain that the slave will speak, and if this is not in the form of mentioning Allah, then it will be, most likely, either totally in what is prohibited, or at least partially in that. Thus, the only way to protect oneself from this is by using the tongue to mention Allah.
[21 It protects the slave from regret and sorrow on the Day of Resurrection. Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Apostle said: “Whenever a group of people sit in a gathering in which they do not mention Allah the Exalted, nor supplicate to exalt the rank of their Prophet, such a gathering will be a cause of grief and regret to them. If Allah wills, He will punish them (due to it), and if He wills He will forgive them.”[At-Tirmithi]
said: “Whenever a group of people sit in a gathering in which they do not mention Allah the Exalted, nor supplicate to exalt the rank of their Prophet, such a gathering will be a cause of grief and regret to them. If Allah wills, He will punish them (due to it), and if He wills He will forgive them.”[At-Tirmithi] [22] When done in seclusion and accompanied by crying, it makes the person deserving of the shade of the Throne of Allah on the Day of the Greatest Heat, the Day of Resurrection, when all other people will be suffering from the intense heat. The Apostle said, regarding the seven types of people who will be shaded under the Throne of Allah: “There are seven (types of) people whom Allah will shade under His Throne when there will be no other shade but His…” and among them he mentioned: “…And a person who remembers Allah in solitude, such that his eyes well up.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
