*OFFICE OF SHOOBA TA’LIM, MKAGH* *Remembrance of Allah* *========================== *Misunderstandings about Dhikr* *========================= *Misguided Forms of Dhikr* *========================== Moreover, another reason for the Promised Messiahas reprimanding them was that according to the saying, ‘Whatever an ill man adopts becomes an illness’, these sufis and gaddi nashins [the custodians of shrines] exploited Dhikrullah in such ways and forms that they defaced it altogether. And no trace was left of the manner in which Islam had presented it. So what is understood by Dhikrullah nowadays? It is a heart-rending cry raised to a high pitch and shouted out so loudly that the peace of the whole neighbourhood and the worship of all those nearby is disturbed. This is what they call delivering a strike upon the heart—as if the heart, for them, is something into which La ilaha illallah—There is no one worthy of worship[ ل الہ ال ا ّٰلل but Allah] can be thrust by force!  *=========================* *( *Remembrance of Allah—19*)* *=========================*
