🧬 The Sacred & Subtle Anatomy of Zikr Now when we say La ilaha illallah, it is the summary of all zikr. — Murshid Shaykh Taner Ansari When pronouncing _La ilaha illallah_, we draw the movement of the sacred Arabic letters through key spiritual perception points (Lata'if) in the body: ✨ The Recitation Flow: * [Start at right chest] La... ilaha... → The ‘Ha’ in _ilaha_ is in the Head / Third Eye, at the place of recognition. * ...illallah... → Extend the movement “just like ‘Ha’ or ‘Waw’” when writing in Arabic, as demonstrated by Murshid Shaykh Taner Ansari. 📍 The Inner Anatomy: * Head / Third Eye: The place of recognition (‘Ha’) * Chest & Lungs: Station of the Nafs and center of Seyrani Ruh [the traveling soul] * Heart / Fu'ad [Perception Center]: Sultani Ruh and Ruh-ul Quds are in the heart, in the Fu'ad. ✨ How do you incorporate mindfulness and intent into your daily practice? Let us know in the comments, and save this post to use in your daily practice. #Ansari #DailyPractice #Zikr #Lataif #Sufism #SpiritualAnatomy

How does Allah communicate with His creation? The Quran tells us there are three ways: through inspiration placed in the heart, from behind a partition or veil, or by sending a messenger. In this reflection, Es-Seyyid Es-Shaykh Taner Vargonen el Ansari, Founder of the Ansari Qadiri Rifai Tariqa (AQRT), explores the deeper meaning of this profound verse and invites us to recognise the many ways Allah teaches and guides us. "And it is not given to any mortal that Allah should speak to them unless it be by inspiration, or from behind a partition or veil, or that He sends a messenger to reveal what He wills by His permission. Know that He is Ali [High and Exalted] and Hakim."
