The Conception Of Dhikr In Sufism

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the theory and practice of remembrance (dhikr) in Sufism and reveals its Quranic foundations and relationship with the traditional Islamic cosmology and the conception of unity (tawhid), reinterpreted in the context of Sufi ontology. The attitudes of Ibn al-A rabi, Ibn Ata Allah al-I skandari, Ala ad-D awla as-S imnani and other shaykhs are analysed in order to show the fundamental importance of dhikr Allah in Sufism as a means to attain the divine nearness understood as „presence with the One Remembered“ (al-hudur ma‘a`l-madhkur).
