This remembrance has merits and virtues none but Allah fully encompasses – the meanings and implications of which, lead to certainty and solace through strengthening ones’ faith and connection with Allah. This special dhikr is of such importance that the author (may Allah preserve him) saw the need to single it out in this short treatise, entitling it, “The Hawqala: Its meanings, virtues, and creedal implications”. It is hoped Muslims will focus their efforts in meaningfully utilising this phrase and making it a regular feature of their every day lives, along with other types of remembrances of Allah.
Verily, the foremost matter individuals should put to effect is:
To learn the purpose for which Allah created them, took the covenant upon them, sent His Messengers to them, sent down His divine scriptures. For this purpose, the worldly life, the Hereafter, the paradise and the hell-fire were created. Additionally, owing to this purpose, the Day of Judgement will be established, the scales of deeds will be set, the sheets of deeds will be scattered, and sorrow and happiness will be on that Day and on which light will be distributed.
Allah says,
“And he for whom Allah has not appointed light, for him there is no light.”
Allah instructs us that we are created to worship Him. The backbone and foundation of worship is Tawheed; with which all the Messengers had been missioned to proclaim, The simple profession that comprises Tawheed in its entirety is very short, copious of implications, and critically significant; it is:

The Salaf (may Allāh have mercy on them) have enormous efforts in this tremendous arena. They have great actions, and service to the Aqeedah, aiding it, and establishing the significant obligations towards it. They have written hundreds, of books clarifying and explaining it, with proofs and evidence. Rather they have authored thousands of books; some are lengthy while some are concise; some are complete in describing every facet while some are limited to a particular subject matter. Some of these books lay the foundation for the truth and that which is correct while others refute those who oppose.
It has been mentioned by the Scholar of Iraq, Nʿumān al-Ālūsī, in his excellent book Jalā al-ʿAynayn Lī Muhākamah al-Aḥmadayn, and Shaykh ʿAbd al-Salām b. Burjis mentioned this poem as being amongst the poetry of Ibn Taymīyah in his work al-Ṣaḥīḥ Min al-Naẓm al-Faṣīḥ Lī Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymīyah; and a number of Scholars have explanations of this poem, from them is Shaykh Ahmad al-Mardawī (d. 1236H) written almost two hundred years ago, Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymīyah (V) said: “As for Ahl al-Sunnah Wa al-Ḥadīth, then it is not known that any of their scholars nor righteous common-folk ever renounced their doctrine and creed. Rather, they were the most patient of the people upon that, even if they were tested with all types of tests and trialed with all types of tribulations.” Naqḍ al-Manṭiq, p. 42.
