Summary
The excerpt provided explains dhikr as remembering Allah SWT with the tongue or the heart, and the command to perform it often. It outlines etiquette of dhikr, including lowering the voice, being present in heart, humility and sincerity, along with etiquette before and during dhikr gatherings. The text breaks off before the ruling on accompanying dhikr with music is stated, so that ruling cannot be summarised here. The article is an explanatory piece and not an official position of the Selangor Mufti.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam menjalankan aktiviti seharian, zikir menjadi amalan yang sangat dianjurkan bagi setiap Muslim.
