The short recording Bebek Zikri – Ninni – Allahu Hu is a tender recitation for infants: a lullaby in which the familiar refrain “Allahu Hu” gently invites the youngest to rest in the remembrance of Allah.
The Spiritual Gift of Remembrance for Infants
In the Sufi tradition, zikr (the remembrance of God) is not limited to formal gatherings; it belongs to everyday moments, especially those that nurture the heart. Reciting simple divine names for babies serves several purposes:
- Spiritual grounding – even before a child can speak, the ear absorbs the melody of God’s names.
- Calm – the rhythm of “Allahu Hu” soothes like a lullaby and gives a sense of safety.
- Family bonds – sharing zikr while holding an infant strengthens the connection between parents, caregivers and child.
The recording from Haqq Butler is short and easy to play at bedtime or in quiet moments of the day.
Bringing the Tradition Home
We encourage all members of the Royal Ottoman Society, and everyone drawn to Sufi heritage, to bring such gentle zikr into family life.
More zikr recordings, prayers and devotional texts are available in our Library, and our live meetings offer a place to remember the Divine together. May “Allahu Hu” cradle your little ones in peace.
