Zikr,
the Divine Ceremony of Remembrance plays a central role in
the practice of Tasawwuf, or Sufism. This ceremony takes on
many forms. From silent still mediation to whirling dances
and transporting chants; from deep quiet breathing exaltations
to loud drum beats; the Zikr is an attempt to connect and
give thanks for that primordial Moment of creation. It is
a sacred moment, a doorway into eternity, a turning toward
the light. The Zikr can last anywhere from a few minutes to
more than twenty four hours. It is a powerful ceremony meant
to open the hearts of the seekers and transmit the Loving
and Compassionate energy of the Divine Creator. The Zikr makes
the world turn. Come and turn with it. |
