00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			We will take the next question.
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			Is it necessary to move our lips while
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			we are doing dhikr?
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			Our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:12
			said that when a person he remembers Allah
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			subhanahu wa ta'ala as long as His
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			lips move.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			So from this hadith of our beloved Prophet
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			Muhammad peace be upon him We know that
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			when we are remembering Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:26
			'ala, we should move our lips We find
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			certain people when they are doing dhikr, when
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			they are remembering Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			for example SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar and the
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			other dhikr, for example the morning adhikar, the
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			evening adhikar They do not move their lips
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			and when they are doing dhikr, they do
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			it in such a way So now in
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			this situation a person he is internally doing
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			his dhikr.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
			For example, he may Internally say subhanAllah without
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			even moving his lips The best that a
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:58
			person can do is that he should verbally
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			do his dhikr at least in a soft
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			voice So that he can hear it for
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:02
			himself.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:07
			For example He should do it in a
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			soft voice so that he can hear it
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:13
			for himself at least without causing disturbance to
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			others But if he is in a place
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			For example in the masjid wherein he feels
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			that other people will get disturbed with his
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			voice So the bare minimum that he should
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			the bare minimum that he should do is
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			at least move his lips At least there
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			should be some movement of the lips.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:31
			For example I said subhanAllah three times and
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:34
			I also said Alhamdulillah So at least little
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			movement of your lips should be done when
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			you are doing adhikar When you are remembering
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, whether it be
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			saying subhanAllah, whether it be saying Alhamdulillah Whether
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			it be saying Allahu Akbar, whether it be
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			the morning adhikar, the evening adhikar, whether it
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			be the adhikar in our Salah For example
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			saying subhanAllah in the ruku, for example saying
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			subhanAllah in our sujood, for example Reciting the
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			dua during the tashahud as well as the
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			recitation of the glorious Quran when we are
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			reciting Suratul Fatiha as well So we should
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			at least do this and if we can
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			recite it in a soft voice This is
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			even better and it is very important that
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			we should engage in dhikr We should engage
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			in the remembrance of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			'ala The more we remember Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			ta'ala, the more it will draw us
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			closer towards Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala So
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			whenever we are doing dhikr We should see
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			to it that we at least move our
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			lips to a certain level when we are
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			doing our Adhikar or when we are doing
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			dhikr when we are remembering Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:35
			ta'ala.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			I hope that answers your question
