Dhikr
"Dhikr is the act of worship that means remembering and recalling Allah."
Spiritual & Deep Meaning
Dhikr is the remembrance, recollection, and expression of love and devotion to Allah in Islam. Being an important part of Sufism, dhikr is a proven method for gaining spiritual experience and depth. Dhikr strengthens the believers' relationship with Allah; it also supports the process of self-discipline and spiritual elevation. Sufi dhikrs can be performed collectively or individually; when conducted under the guidance of spiritual mentors, they provide a more meaningful and profound experience. Dhikr plays an important role not only in purifying one's soul but also in enhancing spiritual maturity. For every believer, dhikr should be a central act of worship in their life.
