Dhikr
"Dhikr is an 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. As an important part of Sufism, dhikr is a proven spiritual experience and a method for gaining spiritual 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 leaders, they offer a more meaningful and profound experience. Dhikr plays a significant role not only in purifying the soul but also in enhancing spiritual maturity. For every believer, dhikr should be a central act of worship in their life.
