Curing the hardness of the heart

[iRepIslam]

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته


A man said to al-Hasan al-Basri:

“O Abu Sa’eed, I am complaining to you of the hardness of my heart."

He said: “Soften it with dhikr. The more forgetful the heart is, the harder it becomes, but if a person remembers Allah , the hardness softens as copper melts in the fire. Nothing can soften the hardness of the heart like the remembrance of Allah , may He be glorified and exalted. Dhikr is healing and medicine for the heart. Forgetfulness is a disease, the cure for which is remembrance of Allah ."

[Al-Wabil as-Sayyib, Ibn al-Jawzi, 142]

Assalamu alaykum sister,

Do you think Quran recitation counts as dhikr....or like is it just another form of ibadah seperate from dhikr?
