The Power of Jehri Zikr: Loud Remembrance and Its Blessings - November 23, 1995

On the blessed first night of Rajab, this lecture explores the importance and virtues of Jehri Zikr (loud remembrance of Allah). Drawing on the teachings of Shaykh Abu Anees Muhammad Barakat Ali (قَدَّسَ اللّهُ سِرَّه الْعَزِيز), it explains how loud dhikr educates and attracts people, keeps the heart and mind focused, invites angels, spreads blessings, and serves as a spiritual remedy and source of peace. The talk also emphasizes that all forms of remembrance — recitation of the Qur'an, prayer, teaching, and silent dhikr — are valid, while urging revival of public majalis of zikr in every place of daily life. The speaker highlights practical benefits of loud dhikr, its historical roots in Qur'anic revelation and Prophetic practice, and its role in community building and spiritual healing. He calls for organized practice, regular timing, appropriate places, strength, and sincere hearts to revive and spread the dhikr of Allah across societies.
