Once a person asked for easiest act (shortcut to Heaven) that can be consistently practiced throughout life. The Prophet (saw) has said: Always keep your tongue moist (i.e. busy) with the Dhikr (remembrance/ praise) of Allah (swt) and you will be most favored by Him. The contrast between a person who glorifies Allah (swt) and one who doesn’t is like between the living and the dead. It is the best of all deeds, constitutes the best act of piety, carries more virtues than Jihad and spending of gold and silver in service of Allah. Allah takes pride in those engaged in HIS praise. It protects from the punishment of grave & compensates for lack of spending and labour in way of Allah (swt). Such People would be under the canopy of Allah’s mercy on Qayamah and will be rewarded with the highest positions in Jannah.
Benefits: It keeps devil away & weakens his strength, causes Allah’s pleasure, relieve the mind of worries, produce joy in heart, strenghtens body and mind, brightens face and heart, induces love and realization of Allah, satisfies soul, cleans heart from evil, invites blessings of Allah (swt). Out of 8 doors of heaven one is for dhakireen. A person who do Dhikr frequently, Allah doesn’t give him death untill his name is added to the list of Waliullah (friends of Allah). It is solution to all difficulties. It prevents the tongue from backbiting, abuse, lying and other sins. Above all, Allah says in the Quran: "Remember me and I will remember you [Al-Baqarah 152]
Among the best Dhikr is to be thankful to Allah (swt) for all blessings and repent one’s sins. Its biggest enemy is music which occupies time meant for it.
While traveling, waiting, walking, working…etc. keeping one’s tongue moist with dhikr helps us in becoming Allah’s special friend.
This post should be written in gold on huge billboards all over Pakistan. Better yet replace all those 'islamic aalims' (magicians) bill boards with this one & locked up all those magicians who abuse & disrespect the Quran by telling people to come to them for remedies of their worries. Give some sense to the stupid pakitani people especially those busy in fake jihad upon indian terrorists' instructions.
I would also like to mention, though that there are times when your tongue is tired because you have recited too much. God says it is not compulsory to continue to recite His praises because He does not want His worship to be a burden on His creation. So one must never worship Him just for the sake of it or just because you have to (like many of our so called 'religious' mullahs go after you with a danda for 5 times prayers, etc.). That would be like lying to God because your heart not into it. Your heart must feel every moment of your worship truly even if it of 5 minutes. You must be proud & happy to be reciting praises of God. If you're tired, give yourself a break from it but never force yourself just for the sake of it. That is discouraged.

You know, I never was able to understand why music was 'haraam' in Islam. It is because it takes up all of humans time which they could rather spent on praising God. It is much more clearer as we approach much more difficult times.
And it is easiest for the lucifier to keep humans of the whole occupied with music because it appeals to masses & much strongly.
The effects of bollysh!t from the lucifier's land to the Pakistani people's homes & hearts explained? That is why I say bollysh!t is the reason of Pakistani nation's doom.

Re: Easiest & most effective short cut to ultimate success
Do we really have to live our lives thinking we're in a test? a trial? and we must act a certain way or else we're doomed? so we try to find shortcuts out of this horrible trial to get to this other side? otherside of which there is no credible evidence of?
Why not have this attitude - we have 60-70 yrs on this planet.. everything around us is amazing.. let's enjoy and make most of it.. <-- so much more positive....

Trial is horrible when ur a sinner.
If ur a believer(Lover of ALLAH), whats more better than meeting ALLAH, even if thats through a trial.
A believer will try short cuts and long routes, any road that may lead him towards ALLAH.

Re: Easiest & most effective short cut to ultimate success
Those who don't want to be ignored and want the attention of Allah (swt) in their graves, they should now pay attention to HIS presence as much as possible.
