Murabbi MPTTI also Mursyid Thoriqot Naqsabandiyah Khalidiyah, Abuya Shaykh H Amran Waly Al-Khalidi stated the purpose of Dhikr Akbar or Ratib Seribu is to invite Muslims to always remember Allah, always dhikr to Allah, and just depend on Allah.
"With a lot of dhikr will eliminate the ugly passions that exist within us, so that our morals will be good and loving, so that we can all live in harmony with anyone, including with different religions," said Abuya in a press release received.
According to the charismatic scholar who is also Mursyid Thoriqot Naqsabandiyah Kholidiyah, Dzikir Akbar / Ratib Seribee is also the key opening of the doors of blessing from heaven and earth, so that our beloved country is expected to be a safe, peaceful and prosperous country.

Abuya also hopes with Dhikr Akbar / Ratib Seribe the whole society has good character, especially the younger generation. "Hopefully our young generation can fortify themselves from the dangers of narcotics and promiscuity and have a broad insight, because they are the successors of this nation," said Abuya.
Abuya further states that dhikr has various levels. First, his tongue dzikir but his heart is negligent with Allah, which is still oral dhikr (dhikr ma'a al-goflah). This dhikr is okay for the beginner level, trained to keep dhikr at all times.
Second, dhikr with remembrance of Allah, pictured in mind the meanings of this dhikr is called dhikr ma'a al-yaqdhoh. Third, dhikr by presenting God in the heart and other than Allah forget (dhikr ma'a al-hudur). At this level, only God is remembered, all the affairs of the world, can already be forgotten in dhikr. If we can dhikr on this level, even though dzikirnya only 5 minutes, then Allah will easy all our intentions and petitions.
The fourth dhikr ma'a al-ghoibah, this is the highest level of dhikr, dhikr of the Sufis. "He is mortal / drowning in the remembrance of Allah, These are the people who are with God, all their wishes and requests are granted by God, all of them pray to Allah," said Abuya.
