The practice of Dhikr, or the remembrance of God, held a central place in Sidi Al-Amine's spiritual methodology. Dhikr was not merely a ritualistic repetition of sacred phrases; rather, it was a profound act of communion with the Divine. Sidi Al-Amine emphasized the importance of engaging in Dhikr with presence, sincerity, and a heart aflame with love. For him, Dhikr was a transformative process, a means of purifying the heart, and a vehicle for transcending the confines of the ego.

In the sacred gatherings led by Sidi Al-Amine, the rhythmic recitation of divine names and phrases became a spiritual symphony, resonating with the vibrations of love. Through Dhikr, seekers were invited to immerse themselves in the ocean of divine remembrance, allowing the rhythmic repetition to synchronize with the beating of their hearts. This meditative practice served as a conduit for transcendent experiences, fostering a deep sense of connection with the Divine.

Sidi Al-Amine's approach to Dhikr was inclusive, recognizing that the path to God was diverse and accommodated various temperaments. Whether through silent contemplation, vocal recitation, or the rhythmic repetition of sacred phrases, the essence of Dhikr remained constant—a vehicle for attaining closeness to God.

The practice of Dhikr, coupled with the transformative power of love, created a sacred alchemy within Sidi Al-Amine's teachings. The seeker, immersed in the rhythm of Dhikr and fueled by the flame of divine love, experienced a profound inner transformation. The ego's limitations began to dissolve, making space for the emergence of higher states of consciousness and spiritual awareness.
