Question

When one makes zikr, you are told that it is the quality that matters not the quantity. I have decided to read a million durood shareef. I am going to read in haste to achieve my goal. Is this advisable or should I just read a little and not worry about numbers.

Answer

In zikr, quantity is also desired. I suggest that you do it at a moderate pace. Hence, you will get some quantity and quality.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
