ZIKR BY HEART AND ITS METHOD

 

 

The term used for Zikr by heart is Our Order is “Pas Anfas” (guard every breath). Allah has conditioned His zikr with no moment of neglect:

“And be thou not of the neglectful”.    7:205

 

The only way to abide by this Divine injunction is to combine zikr with a continuous and uninterrupted action of the body i.e. breathing. The method of zikr is called “Pas Anfas” because in this every breath is consciously guarded against neglect. The method of associating the heart in this process is that every ingress should be modulated by the word “Allah “, every egress with the word “Hu” and this “Hu” should strike the subtlety (Latifa) with in the heart. Then during the meditation, effort should be made to hear “Allah Hu” in every heart throb.
