The Seeker

Jawshan Al-Kabir (Supplication of the Prophet)

Whoever theorizes his religion offends against the Way of God, and peace.
Heretic! Deviate toward the Law! Don't complicate. All that is forbidden.
All this learned talk is ignorance. Station and state discard it. It's not discussion: Religion's what my Lord said or what he said - the master guide, the envoy (and peace be his) - for he said not a word!

What the Seeker needs

Whatever we are doing, we can always remember and praise Allah. If we remember Allah in all our actions then we will be rewarded not only for the intention, but also for the act that is carried out. This short poem sums up how our actions can be part of Dhikr and how every part of the body praises Allah:

    • Dhikr of the eyes, which consists in weeping
    • Dhikr of the ears, which consists in listening
    • Dhikr of the tongue, which consists in praise
    • Dhikr of the hands, which consists in giving
    • Dhikr of the body, which consists in loyalty
    • Dhikr of the heart, which consists in fear and hope
    • Dhikr of the spirit, which consists of utter submission and acceptance.
