Sorry for the random question but, is it necessary to keep count of the number of salawat, tasbeehat etc. that one does, or can one just repeat continously for a length of time and randomly swithcing to another? Do the numbers (100, 1000 etc) have any particular benefit?

Sometimes I find it difficult to keep count and just repeat the salawat silently e.g. whilst working - is that kind of dhikr still beneficial?

As far as the masnun adhkar, if you count you will be fulfilling a sunnah.

For the other forms of adhkar and waza'if that have certain amounts, particular benefits have been experienced by counting to the specified number.

As the brothers mentioned earlier, there are certain adhkar that you can do in abundance without keeping track, i.e. salawat and istighfar etc.

Dhikr is always beneficial, whether you physically feel its effects or not.

Remember it's the Munafiqeen who remember Allah very little as mentioned in the Qur'an. The Mu'mineen should be opposite to that.
