We may have heard that zikr is a means of energising the soul; a type of food for the soul. Our respected Shaykh once questioned a gathering of students:
“Why is it that on missing zikr, a person doesn’t seem to feel spiritual hunger or thirst, whereas when a person doesn’t eat he feels hungry?”
Shaykh then gave the answer:
“No matter how many days an unconscious or dead person goes without food he will not feel hungry. Similar is the case of people who do not seem to feel hunger and thirst for zikr: their hearts are unconscious or dead. The only way to revive them is to do zikr.”
