Re: Dhikr
Im not aware of any gatherings in Saudi…but there must be some!
Unfortunately I am unaware of the meaning of those terms as it relates to Sister Afshi’s tariqa ( I assume). I can tell you of what happens in the gatherings in our tariqa.
The Personal daily Wird-which is read twice a day once after Fajr till Asr(time scale to be read in) and then the same Wird to be completed from Asr till Fajr(time scale to be read in). The new faqir-the one in needreads this for a certain amount of time this all depends on theMurids himma-yearning. (This is done alone by the faqir-the one in need)
The Personal daily Wird of the tariqah is unique in that it is progressive, it starts of very basic and over a period of time the Muqadam will increase its number and change the Wird. Also spiritual appraisals will be given to find out were the faqir/faqirat(Feminine) are going or how they are handling the Wird or having any problems.
Daily group Wazeefa- Everyday the Fuqara-the ones in need(Plural of faqir)gather and read a ‘Group Wazeefa’which entails Surah Yasin, Surah Wa’qiah, other shorter Surahs, all is recited in the Moroccan warsh style which is soothing for the heart to listen and melts the ego to surrender.
Then more is add, much more. TheMain salawat Nariyyah, Basic 15,000 la-e-laha illillahand then next level of Wird. Daily Dalail al Khayrat-(author Imam Jazuli’s maqam youtube), chapter of Quran, Dua Nasiri, Dua Mufajirah…
The Grand Latiffiyyah – ‘Ya Latif’ This gathering is only for Advance Murids, because its so intense and so powerful the room is lit up with Nur-lightthat new murids are not allowed to participate until they have been in the Tariqah certain amount of time and that they haven’t missed there Daily Wird. This is held once a week in the Zawiyah
A note about the ‘Ya Latif’ from“A Practical guide of asking Forgiveness of Wrong Actions –Sins Part 2 of section of Tawba – repentance” there are 35 ways to ask for forgiveness and below is the tenth of theextra ten points to free one soul from hell fire.
In addition these practices, there are some reported to free someone from the hell-Fire: point 10. Saying "Ya Latif"Practices which expiate prior and later wrong actions as it says in the Book of the Healing of the Sickness and Painsby Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ja’far al-Kittani al-Hasani.
Every Saturday The Main Dhikr/Qasida/Hadra:Again open to all, we start with ‘Group Wazeefa’ Surah Yasin, Surah Wa’qiah, other shorter Surahs, Dua Nasiri, Dua Mufajirah, Qasidah Burdahall is recited in the Moroccan warsh style which is soothing for the heart to listen and melts the ego to surrender.
And then the Qasida singing starts
