What does DHIKR mean in Scrabble?
noun
An Islamic devotional practice of repeating phrases in remembrance and praise of God, often performed aloud or silently as an act of worship.
During dhikr, a person or group repeats short phrases, such as the names of God, verses of praise or set formulas, sometimes counted on a string of beads similar to a rosary. The practice appears across many traditions within Islam, but it holds a particularly central place in Sufi orders, where dhikr can involve rhythmic breathing, movement or chanting performed together in a group. Muslims commonly practice dhikr after the five daily prayers, though it can also be performed individually at any time as a way of maintaining awareness of God. The word itself comes from Arabic and literally means remembrance or mention.
