Zikar - Remembrance of Allah
People in all walks of life are searching for happiness, peace and tranquillity. Black & white, old & young, each and every person wants to be at peace.

 

 

"Verily! Only in the Zikar of Allah will your heart find peace."
Quran (Surah 13: Verse 28)

 

 

Zikar, pronounced Dhi-kar, means remembrance. It is often associated with Allah to mean  "Remembrance of Allah".

Remembrance of Allah all the time is the key to success. No one can deny the importance, virtues and fruits of Zikar, especially Qalbi Zikar-the secret zikar of the heart. Qalbi Zikr is practised by all the true, close & elite Friends of Allah and the time has now come to make it known to all. Only the chosen proceed.

Conclusion

Those who perform Zikar are Wise and are promised Success, Peace, Happiness, Mercy, Forgiveness and Great Rewards in this life and the next. All of which are valued as being positive important factors in one's religious and worldly life.

Whilst those who do not engage in Zikar are classed as being heard hearted losers who are clearly in the error and in the group of Satan... and as such, they will be made to live a tight and narrow life, full of misery and woe, punished in this life as well as being risen blind in the next and who will be remorseful of all the time not spent in the Remembrance of Allah (swt).

So excatly how important is zikar? Basically put, for a Muslim, zikar is a matter of life and death:

"The likeness of the one who Remembers his Lord and the one who does not Remember Him is like that between the living and the dead" (Bukhari).
