Characteristics of True Dhikr Five States of a Person Engaged in Dhikr-e-Il a h i Contrary to them, what is known from the Holy Quran about the condition of a person engaged in Dhikr-e-Il a h i , is that nowhere does the Holy Quran say that a swoon ensues or unconsciousness overtakes the person while doing Dhikr-e-Il a h i , or that the lis- teners sway their heads and start jumping. Quite contrary to this, Allah the Exalted says again about Dhikr-e-Il a h i : * S u rah al-Anf a l, 8:3 — ْمُهُبْوُلُق ْتَلِج َو ُهّٰللا َرِكُذ اَذِا َنْيِذَّلا َنْوُنِمْؤُمْلا اَمَّنِا * True believers are only those whose hearts tremble when the name of Allah is mentioned.
