Hello! Please Lord have mercy on her soul and forgiver her sins. Please Lord replace her lost love and heed the supplications of her supporters and grant her your paradise as her final abode with your mercy and love. Please Lord you are my final destiny and refuge from the pain of loss. Her remembrance is deep in our hearts and we weep for her loss and impatiently wait to quench our thirst from your mercy as she did...in remembering her we always weep!

oussama Posted 2007-11-27
Salam, I'm one of the faithful admirers of Zikra. This is the fourth year that she left now by her God. But she’s still with us in our minds and our hearts because she gave to the art and Arabs more than she took. May God bless your soul Zikra. But I have a question, why weren’t the works of Zikra Mohamed collected, why has her works remained scattered in Arab states. Zikra Mohamed has sung for all Arab countries for example do you remember the song ‘Ngol lel Hakem hukmak yzoul’ (I say to the ruler your rule will end) which she sand for the Saudi king for which she was killed; and her Libyan song, does anyone know it? Where are the Tunisian songs which she sang? I blame the Tunisian and Egyptians ministries of culture and other Arab ministries of culture, why don’t you collect the works of Zikra, why do you let them disappear, where the books and media magazines that were written, where are they??? Why don’t you found an exposition for Zikra and her works. Hadn’t she honoured Tunisia and the Arab world. Wasn’t she a martyr of art and the martyr of love. Isn’t it our duty to stand one hour of silence for her pure soul. Shouldn’t we give her back part of what she offered us even after her death. May God rest your soul Zikra. Zikra, you were a nice memory and you will remain in our hearts and our minds. I love you with all my senses and I will love you forever. Please collect the works. Even on the site I only found her last album ‘yom lik ou yom alik’ (A day for you and a day on you). Where’s the song ‘Al Mahaba Habibi’ (where’s love my love). ‘Wala arif waalah galeb’ . ‘chendernalek yache gak mena gole’. ‘el asami hya hya’. ‘engole melhakem hokmek izole’ I haven’t found them on the net, even if these works have moved the Arab world. Think of a proposal please.
INESS Posted 2007-12-02
May God rest your soul in peace Dhekra. We'll never forget you. You're in our hearts forever. We miss u a lot.

Zikra.
7zeen Zekra Posted 2008-03-19
Every time i listin to her songs I feel her voice and my tears start to run, yes am not ashamed to say that. but one thing that kills me how can anyone kill that voice and that person, what relogin allows it. those sauds have now mercy just cos she sang about them her blood was MAHDOOR. shame on them. i love her and her voice from day one and now after so many years its just as strong. i get special feeling inside me everytime i hear her or see her on videos. i wish she could come back for one more day. death doesnt know friend or enemy. R.I.P Love.

zouioueche Posted 2008-04-17
Thank you for your testimonies. I am the best friend of Dhekra and I made a film about her life beginning with her birth in Tunisia and ending with her first in spectacle the Arab world. I am looking for people who can help me sell my film to the Arab television networks, because I would like to do a film about the rest of her life and a film for the movie about our great singer, God rest her soul. I miss my Zikra more than anything else. I love her so.
Zekra Du MarOc Posted 2008-05-15
I love you a thousand times over. I will never be able to show all my love for her. Zekra is most beautiful memory I have ever had in my life. I love her more than is even possible. I love you! (*) Rest in peace! (*)

souad Posted 2008-07-06
I forgot her on the day I discovered the cause of her death. I am not going to say more. Go to YouTube and you will know why. Then tell me if you are going to say may God rest her soul. I say, God rest her soul only if her acts have mercy on her…
3achi9 dhekra Posted 2008-07-12
The best Arab singer, whom I love, is a compatriot of mine: Zikra. You left us four years ago, but it seems like yesterday to me. I am obsessed with her angelic voice. Not a day goes by without me listening to her voice. If one should, then it does not count as part of my life. Zikra, you are still with us in our hearts and minds.
saloua Posted 2008-08-02

wahid d alger Posted 2008-10-03
Thank you to everyone and to all those who have not forgotten by dearly beloved Zikra. I had the chance to meet her up close. Believe me, this was like a dream. If I had not taken thousands of photos with her, I myself would say this is a lie. But, it was so magical and marvellous. Such unforgettable moments we had. I will never forget you until the day I die. Be sure, Zikra, that you are blessed and forgiven and that you will be going to Heaven because of your goodness, generosity, kindness and simplicity. My God bless you! -Forever your doctor, From Algeria, Wahid
WAHID Posted 2008-10-03
A thousand mercy be upon you dear Zikra Mohamed.
SALIM Posted 2008-10-17
And, there you have it: it has been five years since the death of Zikra and what is left of her??? Everything!!! The voice of an angel, great to the point of excess, often imitated, but never equalled. Her masterpieces have an avant-garde sort of sensitivity and creativity. Her image is so human and so loving. There you have it, Zikra: this is what remains of you!!! Oh, no! No! You have not left us. I cried out all of the tears in my body. But, I will cry for you no more, because you are forever buried within my heart. And, as you sang so well in your superb “El Hayat” (“Life”), “Hawlou yakhdou hatta sourtek, low khabbit'ha fi Oyoun.” (“They so wanted to take your photo from me, but I hid it in my… eyes.”)
زمان الوفا Posted 2008-11-27
(A forlorn love, only the memory remains, the memory might end tomorrow). This is what the dear late singer sang to us in one of its Libyan songs (you suspended my eye). But I don’t accept these words. Dhikra may have joined Heaven but she is still with us with her pure soul, the kindness of her heart and her sweet voice which entered and enters hearts without permission. Five years have elapsed since the death of the singer Dhikra who reminded us of the era of great singers. Dhikra was, she is and will remain our companion with the words of her songs and her voices which expresses different phases and feelings of our life. She is with us in our joy and sorrow. So let’s pray God to enshroud her with His wide mercy, forgive her sins and welcome her in His wide paradise. Our love for Dhikra will remain, the nice memory of Dhikra will remain in our hearts. My warmest greetings to you.
jiene Posted 2008-11-30
I adore you, Zikra.
khanfousi Posted 2008-12-05
May God rest your soul Dikra. I still cannot believe it. From God we are and to God we shall return.
nadia Posted 2008-12-19
Simply put, I love you, Zikra.
SOEUR Posted 2008-12-27
It is too difficult to lose pure beings because of ignorance and, more especially, because of the naivety of certain Arabs. May they stay as they are: that is enough of a punishment as it is. May God have pity on her.
karima Posted 2009-02-01
I am from Morocco. When I learned of Zikra’s death, I did not believe it. I said that it was a publicity stunt, but it was true. I adore Zikra. I love her so much. Her songs are marvelous. I do not know how we are going to manage listening to Zikra’s new songs sung in her own voice. Zikra, you are fantastic even if you are not here in this world. No one can replace you and your voice. I cannot describe how. All that I can say is that may God forgive the people who murdered her, because I myself will never forgive them in my lifetime.
nass Posted 2009-02-09
May God forgive you, my dear. I love you so much and even now I listen to your songs. I ask everyone to pray for your soul and to read Al-Fatihah. Amen.
Nahed Posted 2009-05-08
Zekra! You are the best and you will be the best for ever. I listen to you when I needed comfort. I ask God to give you peace and forgiveness. You will be in our hearts.

Allah yraham all of uz but shez a singer at the end n she committed sins like singing, showing herself 2 guyz dat r not hr releatives (for example their not even her husband, son, brother and father in law, no1z perfect yh but shez old enough 2knw wats rite 4m wrong and she shuldve releasied that were all gne face death and God and she hasn't even thought if she ever dies how and in what face should she face God?! Think about it Islamically and not cz u guys liked her tunes and her personallity - U guyz dnt knw her!! I aint a strict religious but u got 2 face reality!! Some ppl mite not agree wiv me n its up 2u BUT I totally disagree abt the way she was killed cz dat was very brutl and harsh no1z allowed to end no1z soul apart 4m God!! I really felt sorri 4 her but in the end shez a singer and she left her traces of her sins for the following generation!!

ilove zikra
FANE Posted 2009-07-20
To the sublime voice I so miss- You were the best and you always will be. When I listen to your songs, I get chills. I feel you lyrics. They are so sincere. What I do not understand is the lack of coverage on this icon, who so enchanted us. I am impatiently awaiting a show about Dikra Mohamed. God bless. We miss you so much!
hanadi Posted 2009-08-13
zekra-may Allah bless her soul-has made me love the art of singing.there is something special in her voice that touches my heart deeply until bursting into tears.she has a magic voice that can not be immitated.I must say she died a martyr and she is having her haj in paradise.I personally shall pray every ramadan deeply for her unjust assassination.
