Ainul Faqar

Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam said that: The Zikr of Allah with Eimaan gives freedom from Nifaaq , and keeps you quarantined from the deceptions of Satan.

Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam said that: the superior most Zikr is the Zikr of Allah Almighty.

Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam said that: Lo! There are ten benefits of the Zikr-e-Jehr ]: (1) Purity of heart, (2) warning for punishment for neglectfulness, (3) health of body, (4) combat with the enemies of Allah Almighty, (5) expression of Deen , (6) cure of carnal and devilish reflections, (7) attention unto Allah and revulsion for that which distract from Allah, (10) elimination of the Hijaab in-between Allah and Slave.

This Faqeer [Bahu Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe ] says that what Zikr is? And what thing is called Zikr? And what is achieved through Zikr? And how many are the Maratib and Stations of the Zaakir? Zikr is] the name] of Purity [and chastity and the human being becomes Pure and chaste through it]. Same as wealth which becomes Pure and Halaal (licit) upon paying Zakaat, the body of the human being becomes Pure against the impurity of the Kufr and Shirk like that cloth which becomes pure by the detergent. Same is the situation of man and Zikr. Same like fire, which eats dry wood, Zikr removes the sin and offense and same like that rain, which turns the dead grass green and gives it life, the Zikr makes the [dead] Eimaan [and heart] of human being beautiful (and lively). And same as fruit is the ornament for the tree, Zikr is the ornament of the Eimaan of the human being. And same as light ends Darkness, the Zikr of Allah ends aberration and disorientation. Hence, that relation that the flower has with fragrance, same relation is between man and the Zikr of Allah. In other sense, that relation that salt has with meal, similar relation is between human being and the Zikr of Allah. Moreover, as Takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar) is obligatory upon (cutting the jugular vein of animal) while slaughtering in order to make it Halaal (licit), as is the Zikr of Lord obligatory for the human being.

Zikr is the origin of every word. Even Assalaat (Prayers) cannot be complete in absence of the Zikr of Allah but instead it is in phases the Zikr of Allah.
