ALL INCLUSIVE METHOD OF ILM (LEARNING) AND ZIKR

From the Book

In the principles and activities of the movement of tableegh, the words “zikr’ (rememberance of allah) and ‘ilm’ (seeking knowledge) are appearing again and again.

This was the common topic of hazrat maulana’s invitation to the muslims. Since this is an important section of hazrat maulana’s work of da’wat and reformation, it needs a separate and detailed treatment.

In india, and in all over the islamic world as well, two typical terms of zikr and ilm are widely useed; and there are two conventional (and established) methods for their learning.

For zikr, there are defined methods of recitation and sets of prayers; and for ilm, there is a typical system of madrasahs where one needs to spend a number of years.

Gradually, zikr and the getting of ilm have been restricted to these two boundaries in such a way that people have started thinking that without adopting these methods and this system, getting these things is impossible and unusual.

In hazrat maulana’s (ilyas) view, these two methods and systems (madarsahs & khanqah) are of great importance, and are the means of great blessings (khair o barkat)
