I LOVE DHIKR BECAUSE... DHIKR=REMEMBERANCE OF ALLAH(swt)
"Therefore, remember Me; I will remember you. Be grateful to Me, and reject Me not." (Quran 2:152)
"O ye who believe! Celebrate the praises of Allah, and do this often."
" And glorify Him morning and evening."
(Quran 33:41-42)
**POSTURE IS IRREVELENT TO DHIKR**
The Qur'an says in meaning:
Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day,- there are indeed Signs for men of understanding,-
-Men who celebrate the praises of Allah, standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and contemplate the (wonders of) creation in the heavens and the earth, (With the thought): "Our Lord! not for naught Hast Thou created (all) this! Glory to Thee! Give us salvation from the penalty of the Fire.
[Qur'an 3:190-191]
**DHIKR IN THE PRAISE OF THE PROPHET**
"Verily, Allah and His angels Shower blessings on the Prophet. O Believers! send blessings upon him and salute him with a worthy salutation.."
[surah al-Ahzab; 33:56]
**DHIKR IN ASSEMBLY AND IN A CIRCLE**
*HADITH: Sahaba+dhikr in assembly/circle= Allah(swt) feeling proud of them among the angels & being praised by Rasulullah(saw)
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) once visited a gathering of his companions and inquired,
--`What has made you assemble here?'
--They answered, `We have gathered to remember Allah and praise Him for having led us to Islam and granted this favour to us.'
--The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) inquired, `Do you affirm by Allah that it is so?'
--The Holy Prophet's Companions affirmed, `By Allah we are sitting here for this purpose only.'
--He [the Prophet s.a.w.] said,
-`I have not put you on oath on account of any doubt, but angel Jibreel had visited me and told me that Allah felt proud of you among the angels.'"
[From Sahih Muslim, and also in the Riyadh us-Saliheen of Imam Nawawi.]

There is also this important hadith about dhikr in general, and dhikr in an assembly:
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Prophet (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: Allah the Almighty says:
__I am as My servant thinks I am.
__I am with him when he makes mention of Me.
__If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself;
__and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assembly better than it.
__And if he draws near to Me a hand's span, I draw near to him an arm's length;
__and if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a fathom's length.
_And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed.
