The Remembrance of God

An immense contribution. This timeless fatwa brings traditional scholarly authority of the highest degree and removes dangerous misconceptions about the centrality and universal benefit of the collective remembrance of God as a standing Sunna of worship in the Muslim community. Al-Suyuti’s pronouncement of this matter is essential for our community to grow and develop spiritually by removing the dross of ignorance in the name of Islam that blocks access to the divine. Any Muslim who may have doubts on this matter should hold firmly to the categorical authority of al-Suyuti’s fatwa and be clear about the primacy of these and related acts of elemental worship, proximity to God, and ultimate spiritual perfection.
