Zikir
Zikir is a form of Islamic devotional practice that involves the remembrance of Allah through the repetition of specific phrases and prayers. It is often performed individually or in groups, and can include reciting names of Allah, phrases like "Subhanallah" (Glory be to God), "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to God), and "Allahu Akbar" (God is the Greatest). This practice aims to cultivate mindfulness, spiritual awareness, and a deeper connection to God.
The practice of Zikir can vary in style and intensity, ranging from silent reflection to loud chanting. It is commonly associated with Sufi traditions, where it is seen as a way to achieve spiritual enlightenment and closeness to Allah. Many Muslims incorporate Zikir into their daily routines, using it as a means to seek peace, guidance, and strength in their lives.
