Foreward :

"Who is more unjust than he who prevents the Name of Allah from being mentioned in the Mosques of Allah?" (Surah Baqarah : 114).


Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, Peace & Blessings upon His Prophet and Messenger Muhammad, Salla Allahu ta'a'a 'alayhi wa Sallam, his Family and Companions. This treatise is a vindication of the permissibility of loud Zikr (dhikr). This is an answer to the booklet entitled "Impermissibility of Loud Zikr in the Masjid" written by a certain extremist Islamic organisation.


Dhikr of Allah is the most excellent act of Allah's servants and is stressed over and over again in the Noble Qur'an. Dhikr is the most praiseworthy act to earn the Pleasure of Allah, the most effective weapon to overcome the enemy and the most deserving of deeds in reward. It is the flag of Islam, the polish of the heart, the essence of the science of faith, the immunization against hypocrisy, the head of worship and the key of all success. Dhikr is something of tremendous importance.


What is the position of the 'Ahl al-Sunnat wal Jama'at' on these points of objection (regarding loud Dhikr)? It is with this thought in mind that this treatise has been written - to protect the teachings of the 'Ahl al-Sunnat wal Jama'at' regarding this issue.


We would like to add that this treatise was not written to cause division and discord, but rather to end the arguments revolving around this topic. Let everyone follow his heart and let us unify ourselves and keep Allah's Order in the Noble Qur'an to "Hold fast to the Rope of Allah and do not separate".


Mawlana Abdun Nabi Hamidi should be congratulated for taking up this challenge and responsibility in writing this treatise. In it, he has left no doubt as to the permissibility of loud Dhikr in the Masjid and elsewhere.


Let us pray for Heavenly support for a better Islamic world in which everyone can find a place for himself or herself, based on the accepted schools of thought and the Ijtihad of scholars.---_{Faqir Saeed Ally Sarwari Qadiri}.
