Imam Abu Yala narrates quoting Saaidah Aaishah Radiallahu Anha that the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alahi Wasalam said: Zikr Qalbi, which cannot be discerned by the Kiram Kaatibeen, is seventy times superior to other types. On the Day of Judgement mankind will be called to reckoning by Him and the Kiram Kaatibeen will be directed to produce the register of conduct of everybody. The angels will be commanded to re-examine the records to see if any of their good deeds remained unrecorded. They would submit that everything within their reach had been duly put down. Allah will inform them that a good deed, which they could not discern and hence were unable to record, was Zikr Qalbi\u2026 (Tafsir Mazhari p.41 v.3)<\/p>\n<p>Moreover the superiority of silent zikr can be established through the Holy Qur\u2019an and Hadith of the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alahi Wasalam.<\/p>\n<p>Allah (SWA) in the Holy Qur\u2019an has said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd do then (O Muhammad) remember your Lord within yourself humbly and with awe, below your breath, at morning and evening. And do not be neglectful.
