		Zikr is the process of repeating the sacred word with concentration, that it may impress on the entire self of the one who repeats it the meaning of the word.
		Zikr is a rhythmic suggestion to the heart, which at once sets it to rhythm when the zakir is repeating Zikr, and the circulation of the blood that runs throughout the body from this center runs in rhythm, the pulsation becomes rhythmic, and the development of every muscle becomes rhythmic.
		Zikr is of special importance in the course of a Sufi's spiritual advancement, and by this a Sufi attains everything on earth and in Heaven.

		In Zikr i Ara the focus is on achieving perfect withdrawl of senses practiced through three dimensional Zikr of the renounciation of desires practiced under the guidance of the Murshid during Khilvat.

	Zikr - handwritten
		The earliest known written notation of the Singing Zikr was handwritten in April, 1921 by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan for one of his students, Saida van Tuyll.
		The extraordinary characteristics of Bhairavi are that even though the principle notes are all the flat notes, flat 2nd, 3rd, 6th, and 7th all the pitches are allowed in the way that is appropriate for Bhairavi.
		To me it is clear Hazrat Inayat Khan wrote the Zikr with a natural 2nd in the ascendant and when he tried to teach it, it was too difficult for the students to do on their own without more music training.

	Sufi Zikr
		Zikrs are of two kinds: zikr jali, that which is recited aloud, and zikr khafi, that which is performed either with a low voice or mentally.
		The heart is a subtle part of the human frame, and is apt to wander away after worldly concerns, so that the easier mode of arriving at the proceeding is to compress the breath, and keep the mouth firmly closed with the tongue forced against the lips.
		The most common form of zikr is a recital of the ninety-nine names of God, for Muhammad promised those of his followers who recited them, a sure entrance to Paradise (Mishkat, book cxi); and to facilitate the recital of these names, the zakir (or reciter) uses a tasbih (or rosary).
