According to Islam Online, “Dhikr” is a flexible and important form of worship in Islam, following salah and Quran reading. It involves repeating praises to Allah or simply contemplating Him, allowing it to be done at any time and place.
Mane's form at Al-Nassr
Since his summer transfer from Bayern Munich, Mane has injected fresh dynamism into Al-Nassr's attacking line. The Senegal international has impressively shouldered the goal-scoring responsibility, previously dominated by Cristiano Ronaldo.
With six goals in six appearances, he maintains a remarkable average of one goal per game in the Saudi Pro League, trailing the current top scorer, Ronaldo, by just a single goal, per Transfermarkt.

The synergy between the two superstars has been truly exceptional, setting new standards for on-field partnership.
In the Al-Nassr duo of Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane, we witness one of the most prolific goal-scoring combinations globally. Together, they have contributed to a total of 17 goals in just six league games this season.
