On average.


For atheists too! Even if you dont beleive he/she/it's there, how often do you find yourself considering?

For beleivers, I would include times you invoke his name "inshallah" or similar.

Cheers.
ill kick off by saying about 20 times.
 
I answered all the time because you do not have none of the above. I know I think of Him more than 50 times. I would like to think of him all of the times, but I know I don't and it would not always be proper. So although I answere all of the time because it seems to be the closest, the truth is none of the above.
 
I picked 11-20, it is probably a good average. There are days that it would be 1-5 and others maybe as high as 40.

I would say most of the time, usually when i read salaat i think of allah and also when doing other forms of worship (ibadah). And usually when i am having a rest i just lye down and ponder about allah, and the day of Judgement etc.

Being aware of the Creator at all times is something every Muslim strives for. It is my goal in this life that I’m mindful of the Creator and my ultimate destination frequently.
 
salamualikum.
EVERYTIME!!! without him there's nothing!!
ma'assalama
 
:salamext:
when i sleep, when i wake up, when i pray my daily prayers,
Allu A'lam (Allah knows best) :w:
 
Peace,

i guess i wud say most of the time.. specially wen i see things that Allah (swt) has created.. for example when i hear the birds singing, or wen it rains, wen i look @ the fluffy clouds, flowers. Whenever i see things god has created, i remember him
and at other times such as: b4 goin 2 bed, eating (coz he's provided the food 4 me), and during prayers.

peace
 

My every breath is due to ALLAH SWT ( Alhamdulilah!), so HE is and always will be in my thoughts every moment of my life.​

I don't know, I guess I find myself contemplating the whichness of the what fairly frequently. I suppose that would translate into thinking about 'God'. Either way, in Buddhist terms, its a pretty unproductive thing to do.
 
i voted 11-20, but i really have no idea except frequently. throughout the day i feel thankful to god for my health, for the fact that i have everything i need and for the beauty around me. and when i read or watch documentaries about the many miracles in nature, i feel a deep sense of awe. and when i listen to qawwali, which i do all day long!

I try to remember Allaah as much as possible, and without a doubt - the ones who have the most taqwa of Him are the successful.


Remember guys, if you are sincere - Allaah will guide you. Just ask Him for it.


Allaah says:

“O My slaves, all of you are astray except those whom I guide, so ask Me for guidance, and I will guide you. O My slaves, all of you are hungry except those whom I feed, so ask me for food and I will feed you. O My slaves, all of you are naked except those whom I clothe, so ask Me for clothing and I will clothe you. … O My slaves, if the first of you and the last of you, your humans and your jinn, were to stand on a single plain and ask of Me and I were to give each one what he asked for, that would not cause any loss to Me greater than what is lost when a needle is dipped into the sea.”

 Narrated by Muslim (2577).

assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu

i dont think anything i do is absent from the remembrance of God.... but im not perfect so i forget at times.

Islam is so well taught from Allah that its implemented in such a manner in which it is impossible if practised to not always be engrossed in the remembrance of Allah.

excluding the five daily prayers we still have a prayer in remembrance for every action, bismillah being the most common example.

so for every sincere muslim the answer would very likely be "all the time" but in reality its "most of the time"
 
I don't think I could come up with a number. The concept of "thinking" about God is a little abstract in my mind. God is connected to most of the things I think about in one way or another.
 
id say all the time...especially because we use the words InshAllah and MashAllah etc all the tym...and then theres salah....so i suppose thats all the time!
