So when thou art relieved, still toil
And strive to please thy Lord.

Closing up the Zikr Majlis: All participants exchange salaams expressing love (muhabba) and fraternity.
NOTE: Moulana Sheikh Nazim says that because of the bad times ahead it is very good to recite Salatan Tunjina also before the conclusion of the zikr.
Salatan Tunjina
Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammadin salatan tunjina biha min jami al ahwali wal afat wa taqdi lana biha jami‘a al hajjat wa tutahiruna biha min jami‘a as-sayyiat wa tarfauna biha ‘indaka ala darajat wa tubalighuna biha aqsa al ghayat min jami‘a al khayrat fil hayati wa bad al mamaat wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallim tasliman kazira
O Allah pray on our Master Muhammad a prayer by means of which we will be saved from every awe-inspiring harmful thing, and that will take care of all of our needs, and purify us by means of it from all of our ugly qualities and characteristics and raise us and purify us by means of it from all of our ugly qualities and characteristics and raise us up by means of it in Your Presence to the highest of degrees, and cause us to reach by means of it the extremes of all goodness in our life and after our death and this prayer be upon his family and his companions and may he be given safety and much salaam.
