The concept of Dhikr (remembrance of God) in Islamic spiritual practices has various interpretations:
- Oral Recitation: Repeating phrases such as “SubhanAllah” (Glory be to God) “Alhamdulillah” (Praise be to God) and “Allahu Akbar” (God is Great) to maintain mindfulness of God.
- Silent Contemplation: Reflecting on God’s attributes and creation to deepen one’s spiritual connection.
- Ritualistic Practice: Sufi traditions emphasize Dhikr as a communal practice, involving rhythmic chanting, music, or movement to cultivate a heightened state of spiritual awareness.
- Everyday Mindfulness: Integrating awareness of God in daily activities, viewing every action as an opportunity for worship and remembrance.
