Dhiker:
is an Islamic practice that focuses on the remembrance of God. Dhikr as a devotional act often includes the repetition of the names of Allah, supplications and aphorisms from hadith literature and sections of the Qur'an. In one of the verse of Qur'an, Allah has said to the believers that
"Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day, there are indeed Signs for men of understanding-- men who remember Allah standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides." [Aal-e-Imran, 3:190-191].
Dhikr also known as a name for Shaleh Book, Moses Book and Quran in Quran.
Hadrah:is the term given to the collective supererogatory rituals performed by seekers of internal truth. The regular hadra is most often held on Thursday evenings after night prayer, Fridays after Jum`a prayer, or Sunday evenings. The hadra features various forms of dhikr (remembrance), including sermons, collective study, recitation of Qur'an and other texts (especially devotional texts), called hizb and wird), religious poetic chanting, centering on praise and supplication to God, religious exhortations, praise of the Prophet, and requests for intercession and rhythmic invocations of Allah, using one or more of His Names or the testimony of faith and tawhid: "la ilaha illa Allah" (there is nothing worthy of worship but God). Rhymic recitation of names and chanting of religious poetry are frequently performed together.
