There are several verses in the Quran that emphasize the importance of remembering the will of God by saying phrases such as "God willing" "God knows best," and "If it is your will.' This is the basis for dhikr. [[Al-Kahf|Surah al-Kahf]] (18), [[Ayah]] 24 states a person who forgets to say, "God willing", should immediately remember God by saying, "Maybe my Lord will guide me to [something] more akin to rectitude than this."<ref>{{Cite quran|18|24|s=ns}}</ref> Other verses include [[Al-Ahzab|Surah al-Ahzab]] (33), Ayah 41, "O you who have faith! Remember Allah with frequent remembrance",<ref>{{Cite quran|33|41|s=ns}}</ref> and [[Ar-Ra'd|Surah ar-Ra'd]] (13), Ayah 28, "those who have faith, and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah.' Look! The hearts find rest in Allah's remembrance!"<ref name="quran1328">{{Cite quran|13|28|s=ns}}</ref>
Sufi dhikr most commonly involves the repetition of the Names of Allah. This practice is central to Sufi spiritual exercises and is intended to foster a deeper connection with the Divine. The [[Names of God in Islam|Names of Allah]], also known as Asma'ul Husna, represent various attributes of God, such as "[[Rahman (name)|Ar-Rahman]]" (The Most Merciful) and "Al-Karim" (The Generous). By invoking these names, practitioners aim to internalize the qualities they represent, cultivate a state of spiritual purity, and draw closer to God. The repetitive nature of dhikr helps to quiet the mind, focus the heart, and create a sense of inner peace and presence.To Sufis, dhikr is seen as a way to gain spiritual enlightenment and achieve annihilation of self (''fana'') in order to seek permanence in God.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Engineer |first=Irfan |date=2021 |title=Sufism: In the Spirit of Eastern Spiritual Traditions |url=https://mu.ac.in/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/92-107-Sufism-In-the-Spirit-of-the-Eastern-Spiritual-Traditions.-Irfan-Engineer.pdf |journal=Sambhāṣaṇ |volume=2 |issue=1 and 2 |via=Center for the Study of Society & Secularism}}</ref> All Muslim sects endorse individual rosaries as a method dhikr and meditation, the goal of which is to obtain a feeling of peace, separation from worldly values ([[dunya]]), and, in general, strengthen [[Iman (concept)|Iman]] (faith). The main purpose of dhikr is to fill the heart with spiritual meaning and not simply chant the invocations with an empty heart and absent mind. When performed with awareness, the heart then becomes receptive to the activity of the tongue and is aware of God's presence.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ali |first=Mukhtar |date=2017-01-01 |title=The Power of the Spoken Word Prayer, Invocation, and Supplication in Islam |url=https://www.academia.edu/43247510
