As most of the works that presented originally compiled as “Zikirler” (means sayings). GOD pointed out the importance of sayings at Quran-I Karim, by saying “Be careful! Hearts can only find peace with mentioning GOD” (Surah Rad:28), and also by saying “while standing, while sitting, while laying down, they mention Allah all the time” (Surah Al-I Imran:191). When the sayings done altogether, they can be called as “sema”, “devran”, or “religious ritual”. The action of saying can be done two ways: first with loud, which is called as “zikr-I cehri”; and second with silence, which is called as “zikr-I hafi”. Sayings in this album has been arranged according to the Saying Methodology and also according to the order of the names.
