Easter Sunday

The Dhikr for1st Easter Sunday

Text: “Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed. They did not yet understand the scripture that he had to rise from the dead.” (John 20: 8-9)

Reflection: We do see like Peter and John, the empty tomb… yet do we believe…? Jesus is, truly, RISEN! He is with the living. This tells us that in the end, it is the victory of good over evil; grace over sin; and life over death.

DHIKR PRAYER 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…
