Look at the practice of Hadratjī Maulānā In‛ām al-Hasan Sāhib rahimahullāh. Hadratjī Maulānā Ilyās Sāhib rahimahullāh had increased his dhikr. In the Chishtī order of Sufism we have the bārah tasbih (twelve tasbīhs): Two hundred times, لا إله إلا اللهُ two hundred times إلا اللهُ, six hundred times اَللهُ اَلله, and one hundred times the name of Allāh, اَلله. Thereafter the dhikr of Allāh’s name is increased. It is written in the biography of Hadratjī Maulānā In‛ām al-Hasan Sāhib rahimahullāh that Hadratjī Maulānā Ilyās Sāhib rahimahullāh continued increasing his dhikr of Allāh’s name until it reached seventy thousand. It was the daily routine of Hadratjī Maulānā In‛ām al-Hasan Sāhib rahimahullāh that after the fajr salāh in Nizāmuddīn he would participate in the public programme. After the programme Hadratjī rahimahullāh would go make dhikr at the graveyard of the auspicious elders close to Nizāmuddīn where one experiences peace of mind, and would return before zuhr salāh. He would make his complete dhikr of the bārah tasbīh and seventy thousand times the name of Allāh daily while sitting there. When a person makes dhikr like this, the remembrance of Allāh ta‛ālā occupies his heart. In fact, every hair and part of a person is illuminated by it and then the condition becomes such that when you see these men of Allāh ta‛ālā, you remember Allāh ta‛ālā.
الَّذِينَ إِذَا رُؤُوْا ذُكِرَ اللهُ
When one’s gaze fall on them, the onlooker remembers Allāh ta‛ālā.
