Reflection for the 1st Sunday of Advent (B)

Dhikr for the 1st Sunday of Advent (B)

Text: “Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come.” (Mk. 13: 33)

Meditation: Take heed… Jesus comes in moments and in the events we least expect…

DHIKR SIMPLE METHOD...

Dhikr is an Arabic word for remembrance. In the “tariqa” (the way) movement, dhikr developed into a form of prayer… It is a prayer of the heart… following three simple steps:

1. Write in one’s heart a certain passage of the Holy Writ…
2. Make the same passage ever present in one’s lips.
3. Then wait for God’s disclosure on the meaning of the passage…that interprets one’s life NOW…!

It takes a week of remembering (dhikr)…or even more days to relish the beauty of this method…

Dear Bapah,

Please also remember ALLAH(Glory be to HIM)by saying and internalizing sincerely: SUBHANALLAH!(All Glory be to ALLAH!), ALHAMDULILLAH!(All Praises be to ALLAH!),and ALLAHU AKBAR! (ALLAH is Great)as oftenly as possible. That is the right Dhikir.And not to forget bapah, That there is no other god but ALLAH and Muhammad is his messenger.
