What Does Zikar of 125,000 Mean?
Mohammad Adnan Akram says, 'Assalamu Alaikum. I want God to allow my heart to engage in Zikar 125 000 times. What should I do?'
'Will my heartbeats reach 125,000?'
The 125,000 Zikar is entirely upon God's will.
And fortunately, God is not Pakistani
meaning that you can't exactly bargain your way to obtaining 125,000 Zikar.
It's up to God and there is a meaning behind the 125,000 Zikar.
125,000 is the culmination of worship.
There is no worship after this.
After 125,000 comes Ishq (rapturous love).
Okay?
So the 125,000 Zikar...
If I ask everyone here how many of you want it
everyone will want it.
But when the 125,000 Zikar happens for 24 hours
Just 24 hours later you will come running
and beg for it to be reduced.
When the Zikar reaches 125,000
you will constantly feel vibrations in your hands, feet and eyes
constantly.
You will feel dizzy while standing, you won't be able to sit or lie down.
Your body will tremble.
Your Zikar may reach 125,000 a couple of times but it cannot be constant.
Secondly, if your Zikar stays at 125,000
then it is God's law that you will be included amongst the Divine Lovers.
You will enter the Paradise of Firdous
You will...? [Audience repeats]
This only happens for those whom God chooses.
Those whom God chooses
are the ones who witness the divine splendour.
The one whose Zikar reaches 125,000 witnesses the divine splendour.
Upon the Conquest of Mecca, all the Companions of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)
reached the Zikar of 125,000. All of them.
You understand?
There were 125,000
but the Companions whose Zikar reached 125,000 were but a few.
Just a few, not all of them.
The Zikar of 125,000 means that in a day, your heart invokes God's name 125,000 times.
This is the Zikar of 125,000.
The heart
beats around 3000-3500 times in an hour
so how many times would it beat in 12 hours?
12x3 is 36
so 36,000
and then the 12 hours of night
which would make is 72,000.
If the heart beats with its current speed
the Zikar would be around 70,000 or 72,000
and if you want the Zikar to be 125,000 then you would have to double it.
When you run
Let's suppose you are running on the treadmill
and your heartbeats rise because of running
and your heartbeat reaches 150-160 bpm
and you are out of breath
so if your Zikar reaches 125,000 then your heartbeats will always be at 150-160 bpm.
Without a treadmill, just sitting on the bed your heartbeat will be 160 bpm.
Yes!
You're okay with it because you know your heartbeats are at 160 because you are running
and when you stop, it will dropdown.
Right?
But if it remains at 160 bpm
then imagine how you would feel.
You will face a lot of problems.
Now, if your heartbeats are at this speed
then there are many physical issues with it, too.
As I have told you before, I was a medical student
Right?
So when you
when your heart is beating at a normal pace, around 70-80 bpm
so at that time how much oxygen does your heart and body need
you already know that
but if the heartbeats double
then it means that you will also have to double the intake of oxygen.
Otherwise, you will have trouble breathing.
You will have trouble breathing and along with that, your brain
requires a specific amount of oxygen molecules
The blood that goes into our brain carries more oxygen molecules
and when there are fewer oxygen molecules going into our brain then we will feel dizzy.
Our brains will spin.
We will feel irritated which causes aggression.
Why?
Because our brain is not receiving the amount of oxygen that it requires.
So what will you do now?
This is why such people need fresh air.
Those who have been close to His Divine Eminence know that His Divine Eminence always liked being in the open air
and even if He went to a city somewhere, He would always have the doors and windows opened
for fresh air because more oxygen is needed.
This is why the Sufis would stay at hill stations.
They would prefer living in jungles and mountains because there is more oxygen there.
Whereas, the cities have considerably less oxygen.
So while living in the city, you cannot provide your body with the oxygen that it needs.
You would need an oxygen cylinder from the hospital
and keep it on you at all times while you tell people it's because your Zikar is at 125,000.
I need oxygen.
You would go to the mosque with the oxygen mask.
See the thing is, as I have said before, I have done a lot of research along with the teachings of His Divine Eminence.
The thing with the heart is that...
our physical heart is the pumping station. What is the job of this pumping station?
The dirty blood with impurities comes into the heart through the veins
and the job of the heart is to purify the blood.
How does it purify it? Through ablution?
How does it purify the impurities? The heart oxygenates the blood
so before your heart is able to properly oxygenate the blood, your heart must have some extra molecules of oxygen.
That [extra] intake of oxygen is very important.
This is why Sufis drink more water.
And sometimes they need to take a deep breath in
for the intake of oxygen.
We live in the cities and the atmosphere has less oxygen.
You understand?
The oxygen levels are terrible and it causes problems.
