If you look at religions other than Islām, you will find that most are based around meditation involving ‘clearing the mind’ to attain peace and spirituality.

Islām, the True religion, involves remembrance to attain peace and spirituality, which, upon assessment, is the only viable approach.

Because realistically speaking, the mind never really clears, it moves from one thought to another— even when it rests; when we sleep! Hence we dream what we dream. 🙂

It is a clear conclusion that only when when you fill your mind with thoughts, and remember: do Dhikr, will you truly be able to attain a continuous and lasting peace and a heightened spiritual state.
