Zikr e Qalb: Remembrance of Allah from the Heart 

Title: Zikr e Qalb: Remembrance of Allah from the Heart 

Author:[Not explicitly credited, attributed to teachings of Hazrat Sayyidena Riaz Ahmad Gohar Shahi] 

Description of the Work:
This work is a profound spiritual guide to Zikr e Qalbi — the Remembrance of Allah from the Heart — which is described as the highest and most transformative form of divine remembrance in Islamic spirituality. It explores six major types of Zikr, from verbal and silent recitation to breath-regulated practices, culminating in Zikr e Qalbi, a divinely gifted state in which the heart continuously invokes the name of Allah even during sleep or unconsciousness. The text outlines the stages of spiritual elevation, the physiological and metaphysical impact of this practice on the human body, and the unparalleled blessings associated with it — including purification, divine insight (kashf), and even visions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the Divine. Drawing heavily from Qur’anic verses, prophetic traditions, and the wisdom of saints such as Haq Bahu, the work emphasizes the necessity of a Murshid Kamil (Perfect Spiritual Guide) for the transmission of this sacred knowledge. The book serves as both a devotional manual and a call to seekers to awaken the heart to its divine function.
