Many of us wander at our lack of spiritual progress yet we fail to avoid the basic sins. For example, sins of the tongue such as swearing, backbiting, rumour mongering and slander.
Silence is the hallmark of a believer and one of the goals of tazkiyah is to cut down on one’s speech. Most people tend to talk excessively and this in itself is a curse. We have to train ourselves to remain silent and true silence is when a person has the ability and desire to speak yet remains silent, for example when angry. We should be conscious that we will be accountable for every word we utter on the Day of Judgement.

give zikr for me for spiritual progress or some achievement.

I agree, A Human has to go refresh it’s sprit for positive energy every now and then. There can be many ways of that. On daily basis we offer prayers and the mode itself has a great impact on the spirit. We can recite Quran as well and listen to the Islamic Tabligh or ijhtemas. We can always read, Reading has always inspired me because one gets the maximum knowledge in minimum time. I search lots and lots or websites and read lots of books.
Stay Blessed and thanks for sharing nice concept.
