PERFORMING ZIKR LOUDLY

 

Loud zikr(permissible)

dhikr of the tongue is the expressions that stand for tasbih, tahmid, and tamjid –exaltation, praise, and glorification.

loud Zikr benefits the person reciting it and those listening. Even if they don’t, there is reward in listening to it.

preferable if there is no show (riya)

Sleep, laziness and negligence is removed through loud Zikr and chasing Shaitaan away .

It is a rule in Shariah that reward is attained according to strife. loud Zikr has more labour.

Without the heart being included, Zikr is useless.

gives testimony on the Day of Qiyaamat for the person making Zikr .

Dhikr of the tongue with presence of the heart is preferable to dhikr of the heart [without].

Loud Zikr is made to wake up an inattentive heart.

to make loud Zikr in a place which is made for impure things and dirt is prohibited, e.g. the toilet or a dumpsite(do it within yourself)

The Zikr of Allahﷻ is a means of happiness for Muslims and a means of sadness for the Kuffaar. Muslims attain consolation from Zikr. Yes, the Kuffaar become scared by it.

“in an assembly,” meaning “aloud.” (i.e. the gathering of the angels)

The Prophet sallalahu waalaihi wasallam and Sahaaba used to make Zikr loudly after Namaaz.

angels cover them (spreading their wings over them) and divine mercy envelops them; inner peace descends

Zikrullah loudly, e.g. Azaan, the Takbeers of Tashreeq during Eidul-Adha, Talbiyah in Hajj, Naaras of Takbeer during functions etc

Silent zikr(permissible)

who secludes himself away from people.

“Isolation is better than to be sociable in committing evil”

dhikr of the heart, it consists in reflection on the proof-texts that point to Allah’s essence and His attributes, on those of the obligations including what is enjoined and what is forbidden so that one may examine the rulings that pertain to them, and on the secrets of Allah’s creation.

dhikr of the heart, which consists in fear and hope (kawf wa raja’);

Silent Zikr only benefits the person reciting it

The Mashaaikh of the Naqshbandi Silsila practice and have perfected silent Zikr, while the Mashaaikh of other Silsilas practice loud Zikr and engage them selves in it.

This difference of theirs does not pertain to permissibility and prohibition. It is only their personal choice.

Soft Zikr is better when there is a fear of show or if people reading namaaz or sleeping are troubled by it.

..for which I alone will reward you, it is your hidden remembrance of Me.

The dhikr not heard by the Recording Angels equals seventy times the one they hear.

“remembers Me within himself,” meaning: “silently,”

The best dhikr is the hidden dhikr, and the best money is what suffices.

Softness is a greater part of sincerity and closer to be accepted. This Zikr encompasses all Zikrs, Qiraat and Duas.”

“Dua should be made with sincerity, humility and softly so that it nears acceptance, because it is proof of sincerity and far from show.Dua is a form of request and a form of worship.

SOHBAT

Iman(momin)—taqwa(muttaqi)— sohbat e sidiqin (mohsin)

Kamil/mohsin=people of sidq o iqlas (noor) +cleanse your heart ( astaqfar +isleh e nafs +sohbat with practice)

Sidq o iqlas is got from sohbat e sidiqin

Awlia allah /Good sohbat= his/her face makes you remember allah+his/her deeds/amal reminds you ahkirat +his/her words teaches you hikmate deen(wisdom)

Sohbat gives faiz/blessings and istiqamat (steadfastness)

Sohbat gives kaifiyat and practise /riyazat (waste if heart doesnot change) with ittiba and adab is protection of kaifiyat.

Solitude /qalwat is better = People must be protected from my sher/troubles+ keep eye on your nafs +think others as good+don’t associate with worldly people + Avoid people of bad application of quranic ayat(zulm)

Jalwat/association is better = done for allah’s sake and spread noor to others +associating with aulia/sufiya/alim is greater than qalwat/solitude(heart becomes lively with them ie pious friendship)+ Ask people of zikr for guidance.

Good sohbat = whose face reminds you of allah +amal/deeds reminds you of ahkirat+speech gives hikmat e deen

HIDAYAT = Seekers of knowledge for kidmat(service) e deen+ sidq e raghbat/shuq(thrist) should be true  (After shuq(interest) comes niyat/maqsood)

Mureed = only talib e raza e elahi(wants allah and his pleasure)+ does irade e elahi with steadfastness/istiqamat (sulook means kaifiyat)

No nafs when dealing with people  and No MYSELF/I  when  seeking allah.

Jannat is just 2 steps away first step on nafs  second step in jannah (hazarat ali (as))

2 enemies =shaitan(openly declared enemy) and nafs(keep doing islah/tuning)

Good shaik =allows his mureed to join any sohbat of pious people

Rewards/gradings
