Sufi Zikr
A zikr ceremony of the Qadiri Sufi Order.
Qadiri-Rifai hold a
public zikr every Monday at Kensington Unitarian church from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
Sufi Master Taner Ansari, the head of the Qadiri-Rifai Sufi Order will lead the zikr on Monday 10th and 17th September 2007
During zikr, we intone certain Names of Allah, thereby invoking the characteristics represented by those Names into our hearts. There is a traditional order in which Allah's Names are mentioned in zikr, and each one is repeated many times in unison by the group. Certain movements, such as swaying back and forth or turning from right to left, are incorporated into the activity during the intonations, and are likewise performed in unison.
The Qadiri-Rifai congregational zikr is an energetic and highly vocal form of zikr.
To be in unity with Allah is to be in a constant state of remembrance of the source of all creation. In the sense that unity is the deepest state of surrender to Allah, this is the true zikr, and is the goal of the Sufi path.
