Dhikr

Dhikr (Zikr) in Arabic means to “remind oneself” and it consists of repeating Allah’s (God’s) name as a form of Remembrance. Dhikr can also be described as a form of spiritual meditation as it helps to block out negative thoughts and emotions and in turn guides you to fully focus your mind on Allah (swt), leaving an instant feeling of calm over one’s mind and body.

The most common dhikr are SubhanAllah (praise be to God); Alhamdulillah (Praise be to God or “thank God”); and AllahuAkbar (God is most great).
