Theme of the Ayat

The Double Remembrance: Recalling God leads to God recalling you.

The Insight

The command is to remember God (*Dhikr*) constantly and not deny His favors. This remembrance is reciprocal: when you remember God, He remembers you. Practice constant awareness (Dhikr) throughout the day, not just during prayer. This reciprocal connection is the core mechanism for receiving God's support and grace in your life.
