“remembrance”] is the ‘Remembrance of God’ [Allah/Allaah] commanded
in the Qur’an for all Muslims. To engage in Zikr/Dhikr is to have awareness of
God and Honoring His Omnipresence Present. Zikr as a devotional act includes
the repetition of the Divine Names, supplications, and sayings from the Hadees
literature, and sections of the Qur’an. More generally, any activity in which
