Dhikr and Prayer


Like everything, remembrance too has a beginning and an end. The beginning or remembrance is the cause of the love of God and the end of remembrance makes this love a necessity for the heart, and this very love is the highest end of a devotee.

on la-ilaha illa Allah:
It is the very essence of all dhikr. It is the hub of the unity of God, tawhid, and it is a resplendent light. The entire quran explains in detail its meaning and significance. It negates all false deities and affirms the One reality.
From "Contemplative disciplines in sufism" by Dr. Mir Valiuddin
