Zikr

ज़िक्र
said ZIKR
also written: Dhikr, Zikar
Meaning

Remembrance of God; the devotional repetition of His names or praises.

Usage & notes

Iqbal honors zikr as the heart's constant turning toward God but insists it must energize action, not lull the self to sleep. Remembrance for him is fuel for the awakened ego, not a sedative.
