In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

At the heart of the Zawiyah where it all started, lies the ‘Weekly Learning Circles’, tenderly known as the Halaqah Dzikir & Ta’allum.

Here, seekers from all walks of life gather to study aspects of Islam, Iman and Ihsan through guided book-reading, supplemented with recitations of dzikir to uplift and nourish the soul. 

For verily, as how our body requires food and water to survive, the soul is ever in need of nourishment, through gatherings of remembrance and learning from books written and read by our teachers, and those before them.

Anas bin Malik [may Allah be pleased with him] narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“When you pass by the gardens of Paradise, then feast.” They said: “And what are the gardens of Paradise?” He said: “The circles of remembrance.”

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، رضى الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏”‏ إِذَا مَرَرْتُمْ بِرِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ فَارْتَعُوا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَمَا رِيَاضُ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ ‏”‏ حِلَقُ الذِّكْرِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ‏.‏
