“The vibrational frequency of your doing zikr [men “The vibrational frequency of your doing zikr [mentioning Allah’s name repeatedly with intention, contemplation] creates a light that makes a place in your heart. What is in your heart? Sultani Ruh [The Divine Soul] and Ruhani Ruh [The Holy Spirit], the secret of secrets in your heart. The frequency of your zikr creates a nur [light] that opens up these places in your heart. So when doing zikr, it helps to be able to hear your zikr.
