‘He’ performs fiibādah to Allāh and sees ‘him’ directly. But

those people who default with their dhikr will not achieve

righteousness and benevolence, in the way that a person who
merely sits will not arrive at a destination.

11. Lead to submission, that is, to surrender oneself to Allāh and

return to Him. As long as ‘he’ returns to Allāh by means of
calling His names, then in whatever circumstances (‘he’ may

be in) ‘he’ will return to Allāh with his heart, so that Allāh

becomes a source of growth and return, for his happiness and
pleasure, a source of dependency and when confronted with a

calamity or disaster.

12. Leads to closeness towards Allāh. As close as ‘he’ carries out
dhikr towards Allāh, so that closeness also brings ‘him’ closer

to Allāh, and as distant as ‘his’ negligence is in carrying out of
dhikr, so too will be the distance that separates ‘him’ from

Allāh.

13. Opens the door wide for various doors of mafirifat
(understanding). The more ‘he’ performs dhikr, so the more
64
widely the doors of mafirifat open for ‘him’.
14. Causes to develop a fear of Allāh and of His majesty.

15. Makes ‘him’ always remember Allāh, as in the decree of Allāh:

64 Mafirifat is obtained by:
1. Learning Al Qur√ān and as-Sunnah according to the understanding of the Ṣaḥābat .
2. Practicing and implementing that which is obligatory, sunnah and avoiding and
distancing from that which is prohibited.
3. Ikhlās (sincere devotion) in practice.
4. Ittibāfi (following) the Messenger of Allāh .
5. Always perform dhikr to Allāh .
