Zekr
Zekr (dhikr) harmonizes the human instrument to the tune of God’s remembrance. If done correctly, zekr frees the seeker from daily distractions, thoughts, fears and worries by uniting every aspect of their being in the remembrance of God.
The seeker’s goal is to connect to their heart, allowing the natural rhythm and flow of zekr to free oneself from worldly attachments, but to also create the link between the brain and the heart, to create a harmony between the two.
In zekr and samā the heart is the centre and everything revolves around it. Total concentration must reside in the heart, to experience the reality within and connect to the true self, the “I”.
During zekr, the seeker must be so concentrated and focused on the heart that the movement is dictated by the beat of the heart. The seeker repeats the word “Allah” with utmost focus and concentration so that eventually everything dissolves except God.
