Azkar do not have required
effects because of:
• For the one who just hears it: Committing sins
(blocks the heart; makes it hard)
• For the one who does zikr: Continuing in sins /
wrong practices
• Eating Haraam
• Lack of understanding of the meaning of those
Azkar
• Lack of knowledge about the virtues of Azkar

Azkar do not have required
effects because of:
• Lack of pondering / thinking over (Tafakkur +

difference between an abid and an ‘alim.
• Lack of firm faith and trust that Allah will
respond (Allah is with the ‘thinking’ of the slave)

In Adhan & Salah
• We are asked to repeat the words of Mu’azzin.
This is to interact and respond to the call and act
accordingly.
• During Salah, we say it 6 times every Raka’h.
People get into worldly thoughts, programs,
worries and they are reminded again that Allah is
greater than everything else. So they don’t
deserve attention. Pay attention to Him alone and
come back to Salah.
