A group of people gathered,
Sat on the floor in a circle,
Preparing for the holy ritual,
To cleanse their hearts,
And purify their soul,
Upon joining the "zhikr",
They started to chant slowly,
Repeating the names of Allah,
To reach the upgraded level,
Of a servant embracing,
Complete and Sublime awareness.
