Zikr

Regardless of where we are from, all of mankind has a yearning for something greater than themselves. This feeling is universal, and its fulfilment is in connecting with the Greatest Being. This divine remembrance is known as Zikr. The development of this connection has an established practical method. In this landmark work, Mufti Qazi Hassan Razza paints a clear picture of what this involves, with his source being the Holy Qur’an and the way of the Messenger of Allah; the Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Mufti Hassan is himself a master of this spiritual science, as well as being a world-renowned Islamic research scholar who has worked tirelessly to serve people across the world. His work includes the establishment of over sixty institutions of learning, a global charity network, a school, a business forum and a hospital, amongst many other things. “He has been there, seen it and done it and is completely qualified to show others how to do the same. Shaykh Ibn Ata’illah al-Iskandari says in his Hikam: “Do not keep company with anyone whose state does not inspire you and whose speech does not lead you to Allah.” It is patently obvious that Mufti Hassan is just such a companion, whose speech leads us to Allah.’ Shaykh Abdul Haqq Bewley

‘Mufti Qazi Hassan Razza has rendered a great service hitherto with this contribution to the literature on the mystical dimensions of Islam. Zikr is indeed the summum bonum of the practices of Islam as it helps with perfecting one’s moral and ethical conduct. We pray and hope that copies of this book find a place on the shelves of mosques and public libraries.” Dr Muhammad Iqbal

*It is our hope that you, the reader of this book, will not only reap the benefits inherent in divine remembrance, but that you will also benefit from association and fellowship of prophetic heirs themselves.’ Shaykh Naeem Abdul Wali

About Mufti Hassan: ‘Only a jeweller can recognise a jewel; others see it as a mere stone.’ Habib Kadhim As-Saqqaf

‘It is an honour for the Muslim Ummah to receive a new book on Zikr, which is not just written by a researcher, but by a real Zaakir. We have a book of Zikr to celebrate, but more important than the book is the author, a great man of Allah. The Prophet ﷺ mentioned that the Awliya are ‘those who remind you of Allah when you see them.’ And when we see Mufti Hassan, he reminds us of Allah. May Allah bless this book and allow people to benefit from it. Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi

“Spirituality is not found in books: it is found by sitting at the feet of experienced teachers.” Q.H. Razza
