Must Dhikr (the remembrance of God) be done in seclusion ? Some people who haven’t really grasped the essence of it claim one must be in a state of silence and seclusion to do dhikr. This is absolutely incorrect. Obviously, dhikr done in seclusion in a contemplative state is very beneficial, this can’t be denied. However, this does not mean that one who has no means to attain this state should not do dhikr at all. Dhikr can be silently performed everywhere at all times. Whether we take the verse that says dhikr should be done while ‘standing, sitting or lying down’ or the hadith that says the dhikr, “la ilaha ila Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu al-mulk wa lahu alhamdu yuhyi wa yumitu, wa Huwa hayyun la yamutu, bi yadihilkhairu kulluhu, wa Huwa ala kulli shay’in Qadir” brings invaluable benefit even when done in public places, it is evident that dhikr can and should be done in all circumstances.
