THE REMEMBRANCE OF GOD: THE OUTCOME OF CONTEMPLATION OVER LOUD DHIKR
About The Book
Written by one of the most celebrated and prolific scholars of the Islamic civilization, this treatise was written in response to a questioner in regards to remembering God (dhikr) aloud and in a group. In his response, al-Suyuti responds citing twenty five Prophetic traditions that in his estimation, not only justify collective dhikr, but highly recommend it.
