Dhikr (Arabic: ذِكرْ, IPA: [ðɪkr]), also spelled Zikr, Thikr, Zekr, or Zikar, literally means "remembrance, reminder" or "mention, utterance". They are Islamic devotional acts, in which phrases or prayers are repeated. It can be counted on a set of prayer beads (Misbaha مِسْبَحَة) or through the fingers of the hand. It plays a central role in Sufi Islam. A person who recites the Dhikr is called a ḏākir (ذَاكِر, [ðaːkɪr]). Tasbih (تَسْبِيح), literally meaning "glorification" (i.e. the saying of "subḥāna -llāhi" [Arabic: سُبْحَانَ ٱللَّٰهِ]) is a form of dhikr that involves the repetitive utterances of short sentences glorifying God. Dhikr is used in tasbih. The content of the prayers includes the names of God, or a dua (prayer of supplication) taken from the hadiths or the Quran. The word Dhikr is also the origin of the name Dhakir (ذَاكِرْ) literally means "mentioner". According to the Islamic belief, all living or non-living creatures, animals and others, mentioning the name of Allah.

Al-Fātiḥah (Arabic: الفاتحة, IPA: [al faːtiħah]; meaning: "The Opening" or "The Opener". George Sale translates simply as The Preface, or Introduction) is the first chapter (surah) of the Quran. Its seven verses (āyah) are a prayer for the guidance, lordship and mercy of God. This chapter has an essential role in Islamic prayer.
Quranic chapter titles are a human fabrication and are not considered by Muslims to be part of the divine revelation of the Quran. The primary literal meaning of the expression "al-Fātiḥah" is "The Opener," which could refer to this Surah being "the opener of the Book" (Fātiḥat al-kitāb), to its being the first chapter recited in full in every prayer cycle (rakaʿah), or to the manner in which it serves as an opening for many functions in everyday Islamic life. Some Muslims interpret it as a reference to an implied ability of the Surah to open a person to faith in God.
