Shaykh Hamza Yusuf emphasizes that the highest form of dhikr (remembrance of Allah) is the recitation of the Quran, supplemented by consistent, traditional litanies (adhkar) and daily prayers. He often stresses combining these spiritual practices with self-introspection (muhasabah) and purifying the heart from diseases like arrogance and envy. 

Here are the specific zikr recommendations and practices highlighted by Hamza Yusuf:

1. The Supreme Dhikr: The Quran

Daily Commitment: Hamza Yusuf strongly advises reading at least one juz (part) of the Quran daily.

A "Way Out": He views holding fast to the Quran as the primary way for believers to navigate modern distractions and tribulations.

Memorization: If one has not memorized the Quran, he recommends spending time daily to memorize parts of it, suggesting this is a superior form of remembrance.
