ADH-DHIKR
All words of praise and glory to Allah, extolling His Perfect Attributes of Power and Majesty, Beauty and Sublimeness,
whether one utters them by tongue or says them silently in one's heart, are known as dhikr or remembrance of Allah. He has
commanded us to remember Him always and ever. The Qur'an says: O you who believe! Celebrate the praises of Allah, and
do so often; and glorify Him morning and evening. Qur'an 33.41
CEREMONIES:
22:36 - And the camels! We have appointed them among the ceremonies of Allah. Therein ye
have much good. So mention the name of Allah over them when they are drawn up in lines.
Then when their flanks fall (dead), eat thereof and feed the beggar and the suppliant. Thus
have We made them subject unto you, that haply ye may give thanks.
22:67 - To every People have we appointed rites and ceremonies which they must follow let them
not then dispute with thee on the matter but do thou invite (them) to thy Lord: for thou art
assuredly on the Right Way. 2848
2848 Rites and ceremonies may appear to be an unimportant matter compared with "weightier matters of the Law" and with
the higher needs of man's spiritual nature. But they are necessary for social and religious organisation, and their effect
on the individual himself is not to be despised. In any case, as they are visible external symbols, they give rise to the
most heated controversies. Such controversies are to be deprecated. That does not mean that our rites and
ceremonies are to be made light of. Those in Islam rest on the highest social and religious needs of man, and if we
are convinced that we are on the Right Way, we should invite all to join us, without entering into controversies about
such matters. (22.67)
89:2 - By the Nights twice five; 6109
6109 By the Ten Nights are usually understood the first ten nights of Zul-Hijja, the sacred season of Pilgrimage. From the
most ancient times Makkah was the centre of Arab pilgrimage. The story of Abraham is intimately connected with it:
see ii. 125-127 and notes, also n. 217 to ii. 197. In times of Paganism various superstitions were introduced, which
Islam swept away. Islam also purified the rites and ceremonies, giving them new meaning. The ten days specially
devoted to the Hajj introduce a striking contrast in the life of Makkah and of the pilgrims. Makkah, from being a quiet
secluded city, is then thronged with thousands of pilgrims from all parts of the world. They discard their ordinary dressrepresenting
every kind of costume-to the simple and ordinary Ihram (n. 217); they refrain from every kind of fighting
and quarrel; they abstain from every kind of luxury and self-indulgence; they hold all life sacred, however humble,
except in the way of carefully-regulated sacrifice; and they spend their nights in prayer and meditation. (89.2)
7:190 - But when He giveth them a goodly child they ascribe to others a share in the gift they have
received: but Allah is exalted high above the partners they ascribe to Him. 1165
1165 When the child is born, the parents forget that it is a precious gift of Allah,-a miracle of Creation, which should lift their
minds up to the higher things of Allah. Instead, their gradual familiarity with the new life makes them connect it with
many superstitious ideas or rites and ceremonies, or they take it as a matter of course, is a little plaything of the
material world. This leads to idolatry or false worship, or the selling up of false standards, in derogation of the dignity
of Allah. (7.190)
9:84 - Nor do thou ever pray for any of them that dies nor stand at his grave: for they rejected Allah
and His apostle and died in a state of perverse rebellion. 1337
1337 On the death of a Muslim, it is the pious duty of every neighbouring Muslim who can, to assist in the simple funeral
ceremonies,-the prayer for mercy before the body is consigned to the grave, and the consignment of the body to the
grave, by a simple, solemn, and dignified ritual. For those who have shown hostility to Islam, this would not be seemly
and is forbidden. (9.84)
